Christ...I thought it was going to be a new club

Unlikely to be any new Munster club for a long time. A well run Treaty United will cover Clare and North Tipperary. A well run Waterford FC will cover South Tipperary.

Ennis would be big enough to have a LOI team. Didn't Clare win a couple of Oscar Traynor Cups recently too? Galway Utd usually have a few Clare lads in the Academy and Senior squads

There are no signs of any LoI interest in Ennis or Clonmel.

The guys who run the Kerry FC podcast plan to organise a supporters club away bus for next season:

Would be great to see that happen for Kerry FC!

Not a club promotion activity but a charity link up, but probably fits better in this thread than elsewhere:

This is going to be great.

I don’t think I’ve seen a more on brand video that lives up to the Bohs stereotypes

Great turnout in Rascals brewery in Inchicore tonight for the Patron Saints season preview night. There was Jon Daly , Anto Breslin , Jamie Lennon & Marcelo Pitaluga in attendance.

Similarly, Kerry recently hosted a charity soccer v Gaelic players match for a Tralee boy receiving cancer treatment - over €30k raised so far from the associated GoFundMe page alone.

Increase in prize money for the new season. Majority of it going to the womens league, which is fair given the paltry €55k they had on offer previously. Overall prize money gone up from €655k to €765k across the three leagues.

A step in the right direction, but still needs to be much higher.

Warm weather training camp for Finn Harps last weekend.

Noticed this from Dundalk page, the amount of red-like or maroon tops for the PD, 7 in total from the 10.

Even begs the question why we went with pink for the second top, as can only use that v Rovers and Waterford, but still can't get over the amount of similar-ish colours.

Best craic will be when Bray visit Finn Park. Green/White home kit clashes with Harps blue/white, and their second and third kits are both two different shades of blue. What sort of genius thought of two different blue kits for their change colours?

17% increase of sweet****all is still ****all but it's definitely a good news story all the same.

In the next 2 seasons the LOI should be hitting both 1 million in total attendence and price money.

Kerry have their open training session on Friday night. Another good profile event following the charity match last week and the provincial cup run.

First PR own goal of the season goes to the Galway United media team posting a picture of Ed McCarthy with a stop sign and a driver behind him, with ‘Murder on the dance floor’ as the song on the post. McCarthy was charged with causing the death of a man through dangerous driving in 2020. I’m sure (I sincerely hope to god) how the post looks was unintentional but it’s incredible negligence from the media team regardless of the fact that they’re probably volunteers, not least the player himself who should surely have clocked that holding that prop in particular was a bad idea given the past

It'll be hard to top that for social media stupidity though no doubt some clubs will try.

**total hoofball** · 11/02/2024, 8:42 PM

I noticed on the Sportsfile website for their portraits a few other Galway players posing with that driver and other random nonsense but you would have thought all LOI social media teams would have been well briefed for any of their players who may hold a criminal conviction of any sort let alone something as tragic as a road death to pay that extra bit of attention with cotton wool involving the player and second checking
