The whole Letterkenny thing has been looked at and discussed ad nausem among Harps fans and about 99% want to stay in the Twin Towns, including our Letterkenny fans.
Ballybofey is situated in the centre of Donegal and we have fans that come from Killybegs, Bundoran, Ballyshannon, Donegal Town, The Rosses etc. Finn Harps is a Donegal club, not a Ballybofey club, but we belong in the Twin Towns.
If we moved to Letterkenny we would lose fans and there is no guarantee that new supporters would come out in their thousands to watch live football. If the move to Letterkenny was beneficial to Harps, we would have moved there.
If businesses want to sponsor us, I don't think it is going to make much of a difference if we are 15 minutes up the road.
Our potential support is massive. When we played Dundalk two seasons ago we had 5000 in Finn Park and when we played Cork in our first game back up last season we also had 5000 at it.
Unfortunately playing absolute drivel for two seasons in a row has the fans flocking in the opposite direction in their thousands.
If we can put a decent team on the pitch, regardless of where we play, we will always have good support. Moving to Letterkenny would only exacerbate our problems to be honest.
And what ultimate downfall?? Too many people still care passionately about Harps. You'll be glad to hear that we'll be about for a long, long time to come.
Things never looked good for you when you swapped out Declan Boyle for Sean Cooney!
