You sure he's bought land for it Candystripe? Is it not just a colab with the university, using their land?Quote:

Not sure away support, but must been 600-700 so good turnout by home fans, but remember a lot of people still don't feel comfortable in crowds regardless if outdoors due to covid.
3,141 at Finn Park
Only for that observation i'd have been more dismissive of the home support tbh, derby, home club possibly securing the novelty of finishing higher than local rivals while pushing those rivals in to real trouble.Quote:

And Covid restrictions/advice being ignored in Donegal as usual.
3,500 tickets sold for Utd v Bray tomorrow evening. Capacity is 4,500. It could be the first sell-out since the 90's I think
Yes it’s time this is called out regardless of covid they are putting health safety and lives of derry fans at risk with their deliberate over selling of away end to us and they know rightly they are doing it too.Quote:

Nit picking and looking to be offended is typical of some Derry fans though. :rolleyes:
Not looking to be offended at all here it would take a lot to do that to me I like Harps consider them neighbours more than rivals and hope they stay up etc etc but when something has happened now multiple times it does need to be called out as they are deliberately over crowding the away end and it is putting peoples safety at risk.Quote:

It needs to be approached now imo.
Why do you keep going back and putting your life at risk in this way?
Because i am a hero for my club and if I am martyred then so be it, it will be a glorious death indeed.Quote:

Looking like at least 4k expected in EDP for tomorrows playoff second leg with advance ticket sales great to see shows potential in Galway fir a successfully club
Plenty of Derry fans were smart enough to stand in front of the club shop, and the opposite side of the gantry, without any issue. There was plenty of space over there too.Quote:

I know Harps are moving soon but honestly, you wouldn’t keep Pigs in those conditions last night.Quote:

It's situations like this that indicate to me that the LOI is doomed and will forever be run by clowns.Quote:

Thats it settled so! Only UCD should be able to have away fans, only way to oust the clowns!
Have you been to Finn Park?Quote:

Genuine question , how many of them would be free tickets and not paying customers. If the majority were paying punters then it represents a growth in interest for women’s football.
Free I assume, like most other WNL matches. It still represents a big milestone.Quote:

It's was €5 for adults and €1 for kids as usual, there was a push to try and set a new record attendance and a charity tie-in with Breast Cancer Ireland.Quote:
