Good to see McGuinness finally getting to grips with this.
Was he as fed up bungling Stormont ministers(one of his own included)?
Did he head off the backlash this whole saga was creating?
Did he finally show his teeth again and made sure that money from Stormont was coming this way and not all to Belfast?
For all his faults. when McGuinness speaks,others listen.
Now lets get the job finished.

I heard yesterday that temporary seating was getting installed at Maginn this week.

Is it for us?

Is it though? May well be, or else the Inishowen League had plans to put in more seats anyway?

Who knows, until we are given more information.

Exactly, but the northern irish football bigots never understand those proven facts.

Proves what I said previously Martin has to get his constituents in east Belfast the money to refurbish the oval before we get the leftovers [if any]

Probably true Shauna but I, and many more like me, pay my taxes to the government of Northern Ireland so my home town football club is as entitled to the same funds that are available to any other football club in this country regardless of what league we play in.
