    There's no new stadium in Ballybofey. There won't be either.

    I'm sure they're aware of the stadium being built in Stranorlar, but we don't really need a new one in Ballybofey too.

    Sophie's choice for Drogs fans, play out of a ground in Dundalk or wither and die down to junior football level.

    Hasn't there been a similar rumour around the last few years? Something along the lines that DKIT were going to build something with the GAA but the county board is broke.

    That wasn't a rumour. Both parties confirmed that they were interested in building a stadium. The GAA pulled out for a variety of reasons.

    DKIT are still keen on building a stadium but need a partner that will bring in revenue to pay for the upkeep.

    Sorry, I meant the rumour that the FAI would step in.
