Kerry FC officially awarded a first division license,welcome to them …..
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Kerry are in. What they have planned can actually go ahead now full steam hopefully. https://www.fai.ie/domestic/news/clu...ences-for-2023
Great news for the Kingdom and the league. I can't think of any other club since the mid-80s going about the job of stepping up to senior football in such a methodical and professional manner. Let's hope they get the crowds they deserve now.
Looking forward to taking in a game there myself next Summer.
Pre season friendly for Rovers ....lets go.
Great news !
I really hate their crest. The Crown on the Harp looks very wrong to me. Best of luck to them all the same.
A host of clubs fans will be hoping they draw Kerry away in the cup just for the novelty of an away trip to Tralee
Without the crown, it was basically the long-standing KDL crest, so they threw in the reference to the Kingdom to differentiate it both from that and from Harps' badge. That said, the coincidental similarities to the old RIC emblem have been noted!
Welcome to the Nuthouse Kerry, where you need to be mad to want to stay but you’ll have lots of company.
Has anyone asked the Healy-Raes for a comment ? Or have they turned their backs on football - sorry, sokker - now John Delaney can no longer rest his balls on their chin ?
Dennehy would definitely welcome a friendly like that!
Yeah, the 6 Munster games and Galway will be attractive fixtures. Finn Harps and Bray have reasonable profiles that those will be good fixtures as well.
Harps, Waterford and Galway should be battling for the First Division title next season. Longford, Treaty, Wexford and Bray are likely to be battling for the final two playoff spots. Athlone, Cobh and Kerry will be looking to join that mid table battle. Looking at the First Division table, Kerry will be doing well to challenge Athlone and Cobh to start with.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
Welcome, Kerry FC.
Great to see a new club come in & hope it goes well.
It's harder than it looks, it's a disorganised shambles, but it has its moments.

Massive congrats to Kerry FC must make a trip down there as I havent being there since 1994!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Initial capacity will be 1,150 - as for merchandise, no replica jerseys planned yet, rather oddly, but everything else will be on sale shortly:

That's a decent capacity for a stand, for a club starting out. I'm excited by this. Hopefully it works out. Of course initially they will only be concerned about their own survival and consolidation in the 1st Division but over time, I hope they're successful to the extent that they can be a template for a pathway to the LOI for the likes of Mullingar, Castlebar, Cavan/Monaghan, Carlow, Kilkenny etc.
