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?

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.

Really wouldn't be worth it for one game, as the set-up and break-down of the facility is a large part of the total cost for short-term hire.

Much better sense for them to wait and see how demand pans out over a longer period, and then consider it.

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.
