incredible, Galway have come up with invisible walls. But seriously, I'm hoping this is incomplete?

Incomplete alright. Jacks roll and brush to be added still.

Far sighted club. It will be BYO on match night.

Club secretary John Campbell gives a brief run down of the next steps involved in the stadium development at Finn Park.

In essence, progress has been slow and there's been a lot of bureaucratic nonsense but they hope that the next drawdown of grant money comes in the next couple of months and that drawdown will see significant work done on the stadium.

It would be great if Harps could get into the new Stadium next year as well as into the Premier league

So if ye don't get that grant money?

**nigel-harps1954** · 11/05/2015, 8:06 PM

We already have been allocated the grant money. There's no more to be awarded, it's just the draw-down of the grant money to the club and construction company which comes in installments.

It would be going so much faster if the money was already there, but the crash in economy and construction sector really hit the company in charge of the building and they're relying on the grant money coming to them first before building any more from what I am aware of. It's all very tricky and very frustrating altogether.

Essentially, to answer your question, the big part of the deal is that Harps don't move into the stadium until it's finished, and the construction company, due to be handed Finn Park once completed, don't get their hands on any part of that land until building is completed. A bit of a Mexican stand off as such.

I thought the fai were contributing as it was to be a new centre of excellence? Surely it's in their interests as much as anyone else to see the stadium completed.

Shame they can't give a more definite deadline on completion of each section or rough idea when
they propose to move into new Harps stadium
