ASP is a great location. Alas not going to be. Mounthawk Park is the home of Kerry football. Everyone involved in the KDL is familiar with it. The youth teams play there. Just have to cut the cloth to work with what is there.
The main stand in the Markets Field is for one half of the length of the park. Mounthawk Park is the same. It is what it is.
If Kerry FC can become established, there will be a fair argument for funding of ground improvements at both local and national level.

And local sports reporter Murt Murphy with a comprehensive piece in the Examiner:
https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/...medium=twitter
"they are confident that Kerry FC will be granted a license in November that Kerry FC will be playing League Ireland soccer on Friday nights in February 2023."
If Kerry are in the League of Ireland next February, it'll be 15 years after knocking Waterford out of the League Cup, in a penalty shootout.

The nagging concern is that it's still unclear as to what levels of funding are being made available, even if the initial aim would be to keep the budget as tight as possible for a First Division club:

I really hope so. Given the population amd good Junior sides, Kerry will make a great addition to the LOI. Best of luck!
Season tickets will go on sale in the coming weeks, which seems to be putting the cart before the horse, but presumably is aimed to feed into the licencing process by showing both demand and potential revenue:

I'll definitely take in a game in Tralee, with a night tacked on as well. I imagine a lot of people around the league would be up for it too. Obviously they'll need to build their own support locally, but I would think they'll get decent enough away visits for the first season or so anyway.
100% for me, night out in tralee beckons, hopefully we get them in the cup

Been at cobh a good few times down the years following Rovers but have gone a few times as well to random matches when down in that part of Cork on holiday . Always a friendly welcome.
If there is potential talks of creating some 'Third Tier Championship' then should Kerry FC be considered for this first!
Are they trying to get in ahead now before something is set up by the FAI!
Anyone else feel that Kerry FC need an extra bit to their name like a "United" or "Celtic" or "Athletic"? Just to distinguish themselves from Kerry GAA in everyday conversations?
In Cork, "City" are the soccer team and "Cork" are the GAA team and in Sligo you have "Rovers" and in Longford you have "The Town" etc.
Imagine the conversation starting...
"good result for Kerry last night?"
"Which one?"
Etc
The alternative is that they beome to be referred to as "the soccer team" or just "FC". I think they'd be better off picking a name tbh.
There is a vacant spot in the First Division. Kerry are the only non league club at U19 level. If new clubs are to be encouraged to join the youth leagues, Kerry are first in line to set the example of a pathway to the LoI.
There is an obsession with names. Kerry is Kerry. Get on with the game!
