4 buses now sold out. Heard at the game last night that over 700 away tickets sold. Not sure how reliable the source is though.

Seating is unassigned. Hard to gauge the ticket sales. Will be in the East Stand towards the North Stand side. In the corner like MH Park.
Brookwell fit for Sunday by all accounts. Anyone hear anything about Matt O Connor?
The profile of the club is being raised anyway. RTE News coverage. National print media previews. Kerry sporting people who appreciate what the club are doing will be in Tallaght Stadium on Sunday.
Read v good interview with Ronan Teehan in Irish sun today. Didnt know that he comes from a sporting family and his uncle is the great Maurice Fitzgerald of the Kerry GAA!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Best of luck Sunday lads. Squash all your fans Sunday in together beside your ultras and as the chant goes......sing your hearts out for the lads..... you'l be amazed to see auld fellas who thought that wasnt for them joining in and loving it. !
I see we've released a song now. Well at least Bryan Murphy the songwriter has. Not sure if it will catch on but great to see all these positive things going on.
Reported that 930 away tickets have been sold so far for Sunday!
Over 1,000 would be a fantastic crowd. I’m
Surprised the club have not shared the milestones for travelling support on social media more e.g. 500 sold by Monday, 1,000 now sold etc. you would be amazed how many more would attend knowing over 1,000 are going especially those based further up the country. It’s the one thing the FAI are good at for the cup final and definitely feeds a frenzy for a bigger crowd (FOMO kicks in)..
"This is more than a game - it’s a moment in our clubs story. Let’s make it unforgettable!"
The club issued a rallying shout when promoting the free buses. Maybe they'll issue another one on Friday encouraging more supporters to travel. The North corner of the Tallaght Stadium East Stand can become like the Mounthawk corner stand for a day!
Looking at KDL fixtures on FAI Connect, there only appear to be two on Sunday, and both kick off at 11, which would give supporters ample time to drive to Dublin afterwards.
Totally outclassed but what a day for the club. Players gave it everything and the huge Kerry turnout never stopped cheering on the team. Another step forward for the club and hopefully the players learn alot from today.
Particularly Ronan Teahan - he covered every inch of the pitch, and certainly held his own in a game at this level.
Rovers played their first choice 11 which was always going to make a tough task more or less impossible.
Tried hard and to be fair some of the rovers goals we conceded were top quality, can only really complain about 2 which were Kerry errors. It shows the levels in the game, the gap is huge, although I will add rovers are a level above any other team in premier division also. Can’t fault the players, they gave it their all and played to the end. 5 homegrown players started and 3 came off the bench, in an FAI cup semi final - who would have thought that a few years ago. 9 out there if you include GO’N too!!!!
The support was fantastic and the cup run has put the club on the map for sure and hopefully will boost attendances next season again.
