Maybe we should have applied to the British Government too?Apologies - I stand corrected.
So - which part of the technically bankrupt government finances is the grant being supplied from....?

Harps and City could do a groundshare and build the stadium in Burt!
Say nothin til ya hear more!
I always thought that would've been a great plan for Harps and Derry in the heady days of the Celtic Tiger. We would've got bucketloads of grant money from either side of the border and the American's would've been all over it with their peace and reconciliation dividend.Harps and City could do a groundshare and build the stadium in Burt!
We could've put half the stadium each side of the border with the halfway line straddling it. Much like Slab Murphy, when the Revenue came calling from the North, everyone on the Derry City side could cross order to the Southern side of the ground and vice versa when the Revenue Commissioners called in on Harps. Meanwhile a very profitable car and diesel smuggling operation could use the under-pitch tunnel providing a solid ongoing revenue stream for both clubs.
Its exactly this kind of strategic forward thinking thats sadly lacking in the League...........

Nahh - you'd get nothing from that lot.
Though you could have applied to the Northern Irish government instead like we did ..
Thatcher built your floodlights

Hopefully the stadium will be built
i know what your saying and your scepticism is valid enough with the way things are, but contracts have been signed and money has been allocated for the build, it will go ahead. it might take a little longer but i assure you the stadium will be built.Either way it's unlikely you'll get it unfortunately
i know you would all be only too happy for the whole thing to fall on its arse but the stadium build is still firmly on, and until anybody hears otherwise officially you can give your take on it all you want.
some day you will arrive at our state of the art stadium and **** your wee panties with jealousy so get over it lad

It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

One thing though, wouldn't 6,800 seats make it bigger than Tallaght?
It isn't going to be apartments. Really don't know how you all came up with that!
The reason why the ground was worth so much was because the area was re-zoned and Finn Park will be the new town centre.
There is going to be a shopping centre incorporated in a new town square. Either Lidl, Aldi or Tescos are already in place as anchor tenants.
The same developer is busy building another large office complex in Stranorlar.
Ballybofey reminds me of Dingle a lot, because the only things there were a load of pubs and a tourist office.
there are plenty of things in ballybofey! mostly traffic congestion though!

Stranorlar is pretty much in Ballybofey (or else the other way around), don't know why they don't join up and become Stranbofey or Ballynorlar?
Sky built everyone else's in the league, ya bunch of feckin bar stoolers.....Thatcher built your floodlights
P.S. Is there electricity in Donegal....?
Well you know wrong then BH, as Harps are my second team and I'm keen to see the club doing well and back in the Premier. If I'm at home when Harps are playing and City aren't I'll always head down to Finn Park for the game. I also used to take great pleasure in wearing a Finn Harps scarf to school in Derry as a kid for a bit of craic.
Some City fans can see past the whole sham rivalry thing you see.....
Except people consciously chose to go to Dingle in large numbers.
And it's got a dolphin.
Though I think I once spied a special brown trout floating down the River Finn.......
