Question for Harps fans Re Playoff

[Lim till i die]

Hi guys,

Just wondering. Considering bringing my 67 year old father to the game in Ballybofey Monday. He's a polio survivor so suffers terribly with chills in the left side of his body.

Anyway, have you any arrangements he could avail of instead of standing out in the ****ing rain and cold like a dog who went on the carpet?

Thanks in advance. x

Contact the club,its not rocket science....

Is Finn Park the only ground that doesn't have cover for away fans??

[Mr A]

Contact the club and arrangements can be mode for anyone who needs to be in the seats. Will send on email address for our match night coordinator.

general match night information is here: http://www.finnharps.com/fhfc/?page_id=1243

Always a handful of seats left for away fans who need them.

[SeanDMRooney]

I think the implication is that a post polio survivor would like to be in the directors box and given that my granny suffer from PPS I would agree and hope the club can do everything to accomdate them!

[EatYerGreens]

As an aside, the good news is there's no rain forecast for Monday.

I still fancy a seat for it anyway.

Jokeshop that ground being allowed in premier isn't there a rule about having to have a covered area and seats for away fans?

They do have such an area.

Bit early to be conceding defeat but I can understand

Not sure why you're posting that because away fans are never put there. They're always put on the opposite side of the ground on the TV gantry side, out in the open. Not that it really bothers me much.

[bluewhitearmy]

They do have such an area.

So we can head in there Monday we can? Considering I specifically said for away fans in my post.

I'd imagine if you contact the club it would be no problem. Even if you rocked up and explained I wouldn't imagine there would be an issue. We know our ground is in ragorder but nothing much can be done I'm afraid..hence the building of a new stadium

[nigel-harps1954]

Away fans needing seating are always accommodated in the stand, per FAI rules. Same as a section of Oriel Parks main stand has seating for away fans. There's always a few away fans in the seats.

If you pay for the use of the seats, then you'll be allowed in there, within reason.

And fair play to yee,always amazes me when the self proclaimed most loyal supporters of the superblues make comment on other grounds ,considering our nomadic past ...abodes....and possible future one.

Self proclaimed yet I have never called myself one of the most loyal supporters your probably still dizzy from rolling around the ground in parks tbf. If they had to come down and stand out in the open with no seating and no cover jd be calling it a disgrace too.

[ayeboy]

Give over will ya. If you hadn't until recently played in a kip yourselves, I'd say harps should feel slightly apologetic.

Parks???you have lost me there mate.No they wouldn't be calling it a disgrace they don't do the moral attitude that exists down here.

[osarusan]

3 years ago we were on the covered side, with about 1/4 or 1/3 of the length of the pitch. No seats but I'm not bothered about that. Some might needs them and should have access obviously.

Will we be directly across the pitch from that location? Beside the little tv gantry?

[joey B]

Yes directly across the pitch from that.

And...?

They gave out about the Markets Field last play off so do you wanna just take that back now or throw out some more nonsense? The hamster cages aren't gonna clean themselves now back to work.

The hamster cages aren't gonna clean themselves now back to work.Is this like a game of conkers ..lol.Actually ...tbf...i.m off to work in a hour ,if you do come off the wheel for a while enjoy the rest and I will see you in Ballyb mon.

[sbgawa]

This should have been a simple request for help which knowing the people at harps would have been dealt with properly, your attitude / characterisation of harps from your very first post was offside. Enjoy the graveyyard

What's with Rovers fans weird love of Harps?

I think Harps fans collected money for Rovers when they were in poor financial health or the club presented them with a cheque or something along those lines.

Sligo fans say the same about us and Rovers as well but I couldn't care less about them personally and there is no team in the league I'd rather beat, we haven't beaten them in yonks. It's probably the fact we never had any hassle with Rovers fans over the years and they always seem to cause hassle in Sligo.

[sbgawa]

Its not a question of wierd love , just read the first post and ask yourself is that how you ask for help

And then go on and say "personally and there is no team in the league I'd rather beat, we haven't beaten them in yonks. It's probably the fact we never had any hassle with Rovers fans over the years and they always seem to cause hassle in Sligo"

Use your head genius. Sligo fans seem to think that Galway United fans have a love in with Rovers - nothing could be further from the truth and it pains me how ****e our record is against them, I wouldn't want us to do them any favours.

Nice job underlining.

Harps have always treated Rovers fans with respect, which goes a long way, and I hope they feel it's reciprocated. For what it's worth, I think Rovers have always had good experiences with Limerick in recent years too.

What a ludicrous post and thread in general. Home fans at Markets Field stand on a GRASS bank completely exposed to the elements. As recently as 2015 Limerick were playing PREMIER DIVISION games in the embarrassment of a "venue" that is Jackman Park.

Some away fans have to be in the open after all of the 250-300 covered seats are sold out at Makets Field we havent even been given the option of covered seats in the first place im sure if you try really really hard you'll see the difference there. At the time I said it was embarrassing to be playing premier games in Jackman too so what's exactly is your point?

It's a case of Jackman and Finn Park both being a joke not as some of ye seem to think oh ye played in a bad ground so theirs is fine, it's not at all.
