Two down and Cork next on the menu - we need to clear our heads and focus on beating them. They are not going well but as we all remember only too well from last year that counts for nought if we do not get our own game plan right. Hopefully we will be allowed a decent attendance and there will be some atmosphere in Killarney on the day.

We’re in a good place. I’d like to see more work done on kick out strategies though. We have the players and the management. No excuses.

Has their been any information on when the tickets are due to go on sale ? If they follow the same format they won't go on sale to the public until firstly the numbers are agreed and secondly after the clubs return any tickets they don't want. I'd imagine very few if any will go on public sale. I'd still like to know what's the position with season ticket holders as this seems to have been ignored.

I have a 2020 ticket paid for without refund which I'm absolutely 💯 fine with but I'd have expected some communication about those tickets or some inclusion in tickets for the next games that the public had access too.

Whispers of the game moving to Thurlus.... Im assuming this rumour is fuelled by the need to get more bums on seats and easily assign same seats for social distancing purposes..Wouldn't the right job be to go to Pairc Ui Chaoimh and let another game be owed to Killarney..although if I was Kerry management I wouldn't be budging from Killarney

With the Mayo Galway game moving to Croke Park it wouldn't surprise me if it did move to Thurles.

Moving the Connacht final from Castlebar to Croke park increases the attendance capacity from 3.5k to 18k. 6k allowed in Killarney. I would think that moving to thurles would probably only add 1 or 2k to this. This is based on a capacity of 7k being allowed in Parc UI Chaoimh for the Munster hurling final this weekend. I would be surprised if match is moved out of Killarney.

They are talking about moving the Ulster to dublin aswell

If it was puc it might make some sense as its a modern stadium etc. But thurles isnt much different or bigger than Killarney it has two stands I suppose which might be an advantage re allocated tickets all conjecture anyway

Kerry waited long enough to see Cork slapped down in Killarney. Even if home advantage is a few thousand people, then so be it.

There’s no way Kerry will give up home advantage vs Cork - irrespective of attendance, Killarney is worth 4/5 points to Kerry.

I personally can't see the game being moved to Thurles. The only reason the Connacht final was moved to Croker was because the Mayo county board agreed to it due to McHale park only holding 3,000. Killarney will be able to hold about 6,000 even though thats harder to do because Killarney is 75% terracing. I imagine to encourage social distancing they'll have to section the terraces into red,blue and green like they would for a full capcity Munster Final. Once that happens it should be easier to have social distancing, there's actually many unused turnstiles and exits on the Finians side that could be used if needs be.

What season tickets do people have? I have a 2020 ticket paid for without refund which I'm absolutely 💯 fine with but I'd have expected some communication about those tickets or some inclusion in tickets for the next games that the public had access too. Did they not become null and void last year? I received a refund but didn’t realise I had a choice

A number of emails were sent and they gave a refund of €40 or €50. If you are holding onto any hope that having a season ticket in 2020 is going to give you any advantage in being prioritized for tickets you are bound to be disappointed.

Thanks Buck, Don't know how I missed that, I wasn't holding out much hope I just didn't see any communication about it but its obvious from the responses I received that I missed it. Thanks again.

In case any of our stalwarts weren't aware, Ballydonoghue today laid to rest it's Gerald Fitzgerald, and those who knew him don't need to be told much.
A quiz master he was, on as well as off the pitch if ya with me.
He once got the jerseys washed by praising the egg, and now hopefully such diplomacy won't be wasted on the powers that be when negotiating broadcasting rights.
RIP gentle giant Gerald Fitzgerald of Coolkeragh and thanks for the big contribution in making GAA what it is today.

So for a game that's happening next weekend no mention of tickets bit of a joke .
And is there a rumors that it's going to Semple ?
I presume tickets will be going through the club's and whatever they fail to sell (which won't happen ) will go onto general admission All abit airy fairy.

You are not in the AI semi final yet Killarney is worth a few extra points. Much better Cork teams have gone to Killarney and came home empty handed. Why hand off advantages for a few more thousand fans? As Kerry haven't lost a championship game since 1995 in Killarney, I'd be confident of a Kerry win in Killarney. The upset last year won't happen again.
