If the Lord spares me I will certainly be there. I never take a victory for granted. Apart from the possibility of winning a provincial title there there is the added carrot of starting off the super eights in Killarney as a result. . Last year surely taught us how important winning your first game is in that phase of the championship. So, buy your tickets and support these young boys. And remember the minors will be there also. Why would a Kerry follower not want to witness these games.

The top 6 teams or 8 div one teams should be playing each other during the summer like in the hurling.

Definitely going as well I think it’s only right to support the team but I expect it may be the smallest crowd at a Munster final in a long time

Why do you think there will be a small crowd at Munster final? It won't be a walk in the park for us. Cork have a pep in their step and will be really up for this. Beware. We need to go and support these young guns.

Cork are written off for 2019's Munster Final as much as Kerry were in 2014 and 1991. Definitely not taking anything for granted.

We need to go and support these young guns. Will the cork crowd turn up after a relegation and after what happened in the same game last year? Perhaps I am wrong but I don’t think it will be a big crowd

Will definitely be going to see Kerry playing in a Munster Final. 9 from 9 attended to date this year. Hopefully a run that will go all the way to the All-Ireland Final with Kerry.

Just to see SOS and DC playing is reason enough to go and support them........................

The difference between 15,000 and 30,000 attending the Munster Final wouldn't come to €400,000 in lost revenue to the association. They'd make that back during three songs of a Rolling Stones concert. We've guys giving up large chunks of the best years of their lives to play football for Kerry, the least we can do is show up and support them regardless of whatever flaws there exists in the structures of the competition as a whole.

I hope I am not infringing on Killarney Advertiser rights and if I am there will be some Laker will be on my case - this is a very interesting view of our options, a Kerry Depth Chart they call it -that's a new one on me! . PS Also no offense to Michael Healy-Rae for contributing here when he says on The Late Late that we should instead be walking the dog or going to a dance or the pub - us night owl poets deserve more respect and in any event all those important jobs have been attended to! Ah why didn't he say we could be writing a poem? Anyway here's the pic, and if anyone can make it bigger or better, it is on p.55 at www.killarneyadvertiser.ie/read-killarney-advertiser-online-5/Attachments:

Right now we’re beatable did any one see Brian Menton for Meath last weekend do we have anything even close ? we are so toothless. In this sector I fear more mediocrity I’m not traveling to see more of the same We had a good long time to figure this out but it’s the same old same old . Thanks but no thanks .

Some lads won't go cause they're too good, some lads won't go cause they're too bad, whenever ye decide again that they're worthy of yer support I'm sure they'll be honoured.

Go to the bloody game for the fun of it - that is what supporting your team is all about whether its club in division 5 or the AI final with the county. All sorts of hidden agendas and subliminal messaging about why not to go - FFS we could be feeding the daisies when the next game comes around. Just go and enjoy the spectacle, the banter and the day out. I go at every opportunity because one day I won't be able to.......

Kerry have just produced the greatest crop of young players the GAA world has ever seen and they are finding their feet at senior level. It’s a young team with a new management surely we must allow them the opportunity to improve? As for our midfield issues it is unfortunate that the one truly elite midfielder that we produced during the famous minor run picked another sport but there are numerous other prospects that could be the answer in time. Time is the key word there. We cannot expect instant superstars at this level, it rarely happens.

I'm going, I missed last year's Munster Final as on holiday, wasn't making the same mistake this year. I've my hotel and train booked and a ticket sourced. I will be there for the Minors, going to matches with my father down the years we would always be in early and watch the Minor matches, it's part of the match day experience. In recent years as I travel alone I've kept up the habit. It's great also to watch lads develop through the years, lads you first saw with minor teams coming up the ranks.

People look for different things. Its all about the contest for me.
Some of the best games i have attended in recent years to watch the green and gold was in hurling, especially v Antrim and Laois in portlaoise a few years ago.
The greatest game i was ever at i think didnt involve Kerry at all...Armagh v Tyrone in 2005.
The Cork keeper last year was shocking and he is there again this year. Whats to be enjoyed watching him raffle every kickout out the middle with Kerry getting half the possession ...whilst getting 100% possession from their own as happened last year...because Cork were asleep to Kerrys short kickout. You have a farse then whereby players learn nothing and are unprepared for the super 8.

Onlykerry, how right you are about encouraging people to watch Kerry play as often as possible before we start pushing up the daisies or before we are physically unable to attend. I cannot understand a Kerry follower not availing of every opportunity to see a once in a lifetime footballer like David Clifford in action.
Also, those followers who who choose to stay at home do they feel under any obligation to support these young lads in a championship match or is the relationship with them a one way street? To paraphrase my dear friend JFK: think not what they can do for you but rather what you can do for them. That bit of extra support could mean a trip to Fitzgerald Stadium for our next match. Wouldn’t that be something.

I would never criticise someone for not going to a match. Just because you don't go to a game doesn't mean you don't support the Kerry footballers as much as some one that does. Money might be tight. 35 euro for a stand ticket for a stand ticket might be be put to better use going to a super 8 game in Killarney or one in Dublin where the game actually matters.
Especially for those with families etc. In an ideal world every one would go to every game but lets be fair about it, why would you spend money on any munster games?
I to all the matches last year and will do again this year. Couldnt help but, feel short changed and wasted money going to clare and cork games due to non conteest. Until they bring in some sort of tiered system apathy especially in Munster and Leinster will reign

I'm not going to make little of anyone for not going. I don't get to as many matches as I'd like but you can't make bits of yourself. I am in the happy position of now being able to afford to travel which I couldn't have done in younger days. I had my family young and now I try to get to as many matches as I can, being based up country it's not always possible. I steward in Croke Park and have a married daughter with 2 little boys who also need my attention. I am a Kerry supporter who isn't always there to support the team in person but I'm behind them all the way. It's not a competition, we do what we can.

The timing is an issue for those based up the country - no train back to Dublin after the game. Checked it out a few weeks back and the ticket, train, spending money & accommodation was just gona be too much

Strange how all the excuses people have for missing the Munster final will magically disappear if Kerry get to an All-Ireland final.

Until they bring in some sort of tiered system apathy especially in Munster and Leinster will reign the only think the GAA will react to in empty stadiums. We are nearly at the longest day of the year and it will be another month before the top teams get to play their equals.

Checked it out a few weeks back and the ticket, train, spending money & accommodation was just gona be too much accommodation prices in Cork are ridiculous. Some places asking €300 for a single room, I found somewhere but its going to cost me on taxis. Solo female traveller so won't be walking through a strange city alone.Hoping for a Killarney trip for Super 8's.

Yeah im in the same boat my options are up and back same day from the North East or knock it on the head. Ivr Killarney booked for first-round of super 8 which is a month away. Was down last year and the highlight was the weather as the game was brutal. Id love to go this year but a Kerry walkover for a 7 hour return drive is hard to get excited about.

We cant do anything about Corks current ranking in the game. The GAA are highly unlikely to change the provincial system either.
