In case you genuinely didn't know here's the full lyrics to that chant:

You are a culchie, A smelly cuchie, You're only happy on market day, Your ground's a cow-shed, Your fans are inbred, You're only sheep-shaggers from Ballybofey. - Sung to the tune of You Are My Sunshine Funnily enough, there's a full page of Wikipedia about the Derry/Harps derby. I assume it's the same Danny Invincible as the one on here who was the main contributor for that page based on its history.

In fairness...I'd rather watch from our own cowshed, than a council owned dog track.

Haha! It was indeed. I included that pseudo-encyclopaedic item of information with tongue ever so slightly wedged in cheek.

Any update on Sligo's new stand? Will it be ready in time? Pictures please.

Had a look dong. Concrete lintel externally with a steel I beam beside it. You can sleep easy now.

Word on Orielweb that Oriel will revert back to a grass pitch in 2014 should the club survive..

How can Matthews make that statement(because thats where its coming from) if he is leaving end of season ??

That is an absolute nonsense statement to make. Of all the things to be worrying about right now... Sounds like the kind of muppetry the GUFC directors were at.

Thats brilliant, shaping up to be a lovely ground now.

That's class looking now. Are they going to do anything with the open end of the ground now? Should have thought of a temporary stand for that end for the European games this time.

So I wonder will it be done before The Brandywell is fixed up.

Finn Harps will be holding an open meeting for all supporters on Monday 27th August 8.30 in Jacksons Hotel. Agenda will include new Stadium, league format for next season and financial update. The chairman and board would be grateful if all those who support the club would make an effort to attend.

Maybe some progress on Harps stadium plans.

Pat was on 95fm this morning. He said all the pre-planning is done, the plans have been agreed on and finalised by limerick FC and the LEDP. It is being lodged in two weeks. Unless someone places an objection to the markets field it should be ready for kickoff of the 2013 season.

Hopefully the keep us updated from here on.
