    Would imagine rather than Castlebar themselves, it would eventually be the Mayo League launching a senior team, not just to get support from Ballina, Westport, etc, but also such a set-up would best be able to financially scale-up.

    That does make more sense re Castelbar as Kerry have done.

    I hope Kerry can extend that stand before the new season, as it looks like unfinished work!

    Maybe the Healy-Rae could sort something out!

    You'd imagine that will sell out easily for their first home game - expecially if it's against Waterford.

    With some good local marketing/PR and a few favourable early results, they could well sell out quite a few games, as that's not a big capacity at all. Surely smallest in the league?

    The stand has 500 seats. 1150 will be the capacity.
    Kerry have built up through the youth leagues. If they can become established, it would be a good template for others.

    They represent the "vote for me, I got the council to fix your potholes" type of Irish political person perfectly. That Pierse Morgan-style nauseating love-in for John Delaney ... Kerry would do well to stay 1,000 miles from them.

    The website has updated from "Coming Soon", with the box for subscribing to the newsletter, to "Currently Under Development", which suggests work is ongoing for it to go live before long:

    And it has just gone live today - hopefully won't be long before the senior manager is announced, along with a First Division squad.

    He had applied for the U19 job (which also couldn't be announced before the senior licence was awarded, and has yet TBC), but appears to be working with the new management at Killarney Celtic for the moment.

    For the wrong reasons though.

    It's a myth that 'all publicity is good publicity'. Just ask Harvey Weinstein

    Similarly with sponsorship - ground, matchday and player rates seem unremarkable, but unlikely (to put it mildly) they'll get what they're requesting for jerseys and shorts:

    Just show a lack of research from Kerry, like how hard would it of been to look at prices the other first division clubs set for season tickets and go similar

    Especially when the League itself published such a page only the week before. The more serious issues at play are that there is still no manager appointed yet, no players officially under contract as far as is known (presumably the U19s could technically play, but do they revert to KDL clubs once their season ends?), and almost certainly no merchandise released now in time for Christmas, all of which suggest a lack of preparedness behind the scenes.

    The tickets is madness. A complete own goal. As you say, price comparisons were readily available.
    With the late licence approval, the delay in merchandise is more understandable.

    Interesting to read in Kerry's Eye that a dozen KDL clubs use Mounthawk Park as their home ground - as you'd expect, a number of Tralee teams, but some surprises such as Abbeydorney, Ballymac, Cloghane (Dingle Peninsula) and Lixnaw, where you would imagine they might be able to rent a field from a local landowner, as happens in many cases in the county. That said, now that the full First Division fixtures calendar is out, the KDL should be able to maximise the local schedules for the weeks when Kerry are away, as far as underage games will allow.
