The Council and those in charge of this haven't a clue about football stadiums and the attention to detail that is involved.

I hope I am proved wrong
The council can't even maintain the astro pitch at Foyle Arena it is like a beach
Completely different kind of pitch, meant to be sandy.

More a hockey pitch than a soccer pitch.
Senior hockey can't be played on it. the local Priorians team have had to play all their games away because the pitch is unplayable

Has there been any confirmation of what type of contamination the Brandywell has and if it will delay the opening of the ground?

It's oil. Shouldn't delay the opening. It's been there historically - just that we're finding it now with the works. Nothing to worry about.

Has the Council announced a completion date yet? I'm sure it's not helping that the builders have been off from 22nd December until 2nd January.

Without having any great knowledge of what's going on with the Brandywell, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that Derry City will definitely not be playing Finn Harps or anyone else in the Brandywell on 9th February.

Look at the pictures above. The place is still a building site. Temper your expectations, lads & lassies, we'll be extremely lucky to get in tongue Brandywell for the match against Sligo Rovers on 23rd February.
