Securing precious match tickets isn't the only worry facing many Kerry fans ahead of next month's All-Ireland football final.

The Kingdom's involvement in both the senior and minor finals has created huge interest among supporters - and led to a scramble for train tickets, flights as well as accommodation in Dublin.

Kerry Radio is reporting that the train departing Tralee at 7.10am on Sunday, September 20 is booked out, as is the flight back to Kerry Airport from Dublin that night. There are still a small number of seats available on the 9am flight out of Farranfore.

However, it's expected that Irish Rail will put on extra trains to cope with the demand - the company will provide six extra trains for Mayo supporters travelling to and from Croke Park this weekend - while there are also hopes of at least one extra flight being laid on by Aer Lingus.

We're sure supporters from other counties wouldn't mind having such logistical problems!
