Nice piece by Tommy Conlon in today's Sunday Independent- highlights the history of Kerry soccer, talks to the staff, management and players, but doesn't shy away from the challenges involved in taking on professional and semi-pro clubs. And personally speaking, any article which begins "Arise Fenit Samphires, and take your place among the nations of the earth" gets a whole-hearted recommendation!
Should Kerry be considering temporary seating like Wexford have for the first game if there is a high demand for the opening game?

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.
There are still 99 stand seats available, so while the game is highly likely to sell out, trying to guess what, if any, extra capacity might be needed would be hard to gauge.
Good buzz down there yesterday, was told they’re very pleased with season ticket sales
It's like a gathering of the clan for the maiden voyage!

And the final arrival (as the club themselves have confirmed) could arguably be the most pivotal, as local goal machine Steven McCarthy joins from Killarney Celtic. Rather surprised he came at this particular juncture, however, when he just helped Celtic reach the FAI Junior Cup QF at the weekend.
Extra wide lens needed for the official squad photo!
They do realise that 'soccer' is only 11-a-side, right ?
Matt Keane announced as captain with Wayne Guthrie Vice for the season

Expect that then to be followed tomorrow or Thursday with the squad numbers (though the above effectively confirms Guthrie W will be No.1).
Moving the thread could have waited until after the first couple of games.
