Kerry football supporters could be set for some bad news as the capacity for Sunday’s Munster Final clash is unlikely to increase.

At present, Fitzgerald Stadium is limited to 2,500 tickets for Sunday’s clash with Cork, and is set at 1,000 stand tickets and 1,500 terrace tickets.

However, the Kerry County Board is pushing for an increase in ticket allocations and were still awaiting confirmation to have their request granted as the Killarney Advertiser went to press last night (Thursday).

GAA officials in the county were bracing themselves for bad news.

County Secretary Peter Twiss all but conceded defeat on Thursday afternoon in an email circulated to all clubs. He was keen to start the distribution of the previously allocated 2,500 tickets.

“Unfortunately we have heard nothing back regarding any increase in capacity for the Kerry v Cork game in Fitzgerald Stadium, so at this stage I'm conscious that Clubs and District Boards are anxious to get their tickets and move on,” said the email.

The last time Fitzgerald Stadium hosted a Munster Final was on July 2, 2017.

On that occasion 31,836 witnessed Kerry defeat Cork on a score-line of 1-23 to 0-15.
