    Question for Harps fans Re Playoff

    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

    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!

    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?

    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.

    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

    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.
