You not confusing them with former West Belfast team Distillery - now Lisburn Distillery....?

Still play in West Belfast. Its the worst ground in the league.

**Mr A** · 12/12/2007, 9:40 PM

Same thing

**GavinZac** · 12/12/2007, 9:43 PM

Sporting Fingal?

**dcfcsteve** · 13/12/2007, 10:27 AM

We were apparently all lined-up for a mini-tour of Scotland in the New Year.

Robbo's sacking will doubtless ahve put paid to that.

It officially has the smallest and second smallest seated stand in the world - move over Drogheda!

**holidaysong** · 14/12/2007, 2:05 PM

That is pretty bad alright.. How do they get away with the standard?

any news yet of bohs friendlies???

**gspain** · 17/12/2007, 9:00 AM

I'm pretty sure Limerick are currently the only team from the Republic of Ireland to have played at Donegal Celtic's ground. We lost a pre-season friendly there 2-1 in 1990.

Gary - I was up there prior to the 2007 season, to see DC play Bohs.
