Could online ticket sales only be effecting attendance. I know some people that are put off by it The price of them certainly will. Talking to a few regular matchgoers in the past couple of days, the feeling seems to be maybe not this time. I'm almost certain I paid €40 last year as one of the lucky 1500. I think the price thing is being blown way out of proportion. As regards online ticket sales I also believe that's not as big a factor as some are making out, how we live our daily lives has changed a lot since Covid. My mother was a cash only person up to then but now she's tapping away for everything. There's quite a high proportion of the over 70's who are very tech savvy with smart phones and tablets. My own experience here in the club is that the odd few we know would struggle to buy tickets online are looked after by committee members. I will happily pay €40 again this year, my biggest issue is getting a bed for the night in Killarney but if it comes to it I might just go down and back in the day.

I can't travel as its my little ones christening however if I was I'd look at flying as of this morning returning the same day is 45.98. That's great value.

Don't forget to factor in weekend queueing times (security) at Dublin airport!!! anything between 1 and 2 hours shuffling through "cattle grids" and then the Ryanair boarding queues. Sounds like great value but the train might be less stress when all is said and done.

If the minor final between Kerry and Cork was on before it, the entrance fee would be alright.
The minor final is on the following Wednesday evening at 7.30 in Cork. I know there are home and away arrangements between Cork and Kerry at minor level but maybe those arrangements should only apply to round robin games.
This would free up the Munster Council to fix the minor final as the curtains raiser at whatever venue the senior final is being played in.

That was my first thought to be honest, I'm only 15 mins from the airport but I queued for 55 mins to clear security at 5 at am 2 weeks ago. I've no desire to repeat, also have to take airport parking into account. Fast track is an option too but the morning I was there Fast Track was only marginally faster than the main queue.

Still quicker than the train Jackie and after the Dublin game it's definitely the way I'll travel down for games. 3.5 hours on a train with no catering or even a drink. But atleast it's straight into Killarney

It's definitely an option, personally I don't mind the train journey as I'm not rushing back to young family etc. Not being able to buy a cuppa is a massive pain , I really don't understand the logic behind it and it looks like it will be like that into 2023. I generally stay over when I travel for matches, it's my treat to myself, as the ad says I'm worth it!

Only did it once for the 2016 semi-final as I had an event in Kerry the day before. The flight was great but what you forget to factor in is the long hike by bus into Dublin city from the airport.
Between the jigs and the reels it took me as long to get back to my abode in Dublin from the flight to change into the jersey as it would if I just came up on the train.

Team selection and prediction time.
Kerry by more than 10. One change to previous team Paul geaney in for Tony, assuming all fit and well.

Nice fine day,
Wide open spaces,
Lads fighting for a jersey,
A team from D3 against the D1 winners.
Kerry +12 for me.
No pleasure and no good for us either.

What are the bookies saying about the spread?
For me I think the game will go like this: Kerry to start well, Limerick nevertheless will grow into the game and will have the pace and power to experience a purple patch. Maybe 4-5 points in it at half time. In the second half Kerry's bench will ensure a good circa 10-15 point victory.
The most important thing is the win and no injuries picked up. We need all hands to the pump this summer to get over the line please God.
As for selection, assuming there's no new injuries we don't know about, I would only make one change from Cork. Draft in Geaney and leave Brosnan to be sprung from the bench.

Any argument to be made to make a few more changes, I wonder. Or to at least give some decent game time to the likes of Dylan Casey, Joe O'Connor and Killian Spillane. We're only a red card or an injury from them being thrown in at an early stage against a Tyrone or Mayo in a QF. The team is a bit too predictable at the moment and with the same 5-6 subs coming in.

I think the predictability is part of the process that made dublin great, I expect us to proceed along the same course, consistency in team selection and execution.

If he doesn't cut it, at least we know then he should not start the QF - on foot of 2 below par displays. If he thrives, well then we have the option of starting him in the QF. Bringing him on as sub, when the game is won, will tell us nothing. We will be none the wiser. We know what PG can do and finishing with his experienced head when the game has opened up will serve us much better I feel at the business end of the season.

My wish for this game is that Limerick double team DC. Jack alluded to this likelihood for the rest 2022 and implied that others will step up to put scores on the board. I hope things play out like that.

I hope things play out like that. I don't think they will thought. I'd say they'll leave Fanning on DC. He's fairly fast! Limerick will get caught thought with multiple runners into the D area, they don't have the anticipation or pace to make things difficult for the Kerry forwards. Limerick's poorest area is their midfield, which incidentally isn't exactly our strongest area either but Tipperary really ran through the middle of the field untouched. Watch out for Robbie Burke, if he doesn't start, he'll come on, a real live wire, will have a go from anywhere and fairly accurate. They haven't enough of Robbie's thought!! Fantastic occasion for Padraig de Brún. A player/member of Firies Gaa Club. Grew up in Firies before his family moved to Limerick, maintained his allegiance to Firies. A member of the east Kerry County Championship winning team of, 2019?. A day to remember for him 👌.

I get the sense we might lucky to pass 10,000 for this game Blast it anyway and there where only terrace tickets available when I bought mine only yesterday. My Dad's in his 70s and it looks like it will be a warm day, not great for him to be standing for the whole game.

Well they had no problem selling tickets for the Munster hurling final at 40 euro. All tickets are sold out.

I'm expecting a much improved performance in this game from us. There are a few lads that won't have been happy with their displays against cork. We should be putting limerick away a lot earlier than we did cork , playing at home on a pitch that really suits us we should be able to get the scores early this time and not be reliant on the cavalry. Dublin laid down a marker in the first half against Meath we need to do something similar in my view it doesn't have to be a 70 minute slaughter but I'd much prefer if we got the job done in first 20 rather than last 20.

I don't think I remember such a lame build up to a munster final. I suppose the new format and the fact Kerry are overwhelming favourites does nt help either. This is much quoter than our build up to league games. There would be more excitement for a North Kerry first round C'ship game

Killian got plenty of chances in the league and did little, i definitely wouldn’t advocate giving him game time ahead of lads who have performed
