We've 2 home games in late February (Bohs and Waterford), followed by Galway on 7th March.adydcfc wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2025 3:48 pm New stand won't be ready expect club to make put statement out over weekend. Looking like end of Feb
Be a shame if the new stand isn't ready for the February games - especially Bohs, which would attract a great crowd. But won't be the end of the world if it isn't.

Re: Brandywell Stadium Development
There will be a major buzz around the start of the new season, and the new stand could have capitalised on this.
The fact it won't be ready is a major disappointment, especially if we have a bad start and the buzz fades before season tickets for it go on sale.

To be honest - If the buzz is gone just 1 or 2 weeks into the season, then we'll have bigger problems than just a new standKeyser Soze wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2025 8:28 pm There will be a major buzz around the start of the new season, and the new stand could have capitalised on this.

Re: Brandywell Stadium Development
Can we not request the FAI to rearrange those two fixtures to 'away' for this series, and swap with the 2nd series back at the Brandywell?stevebradley wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2025 6:41 pmWe've 2 home games in late February (Bohs and Waterford), followed by Galway on 7th March.adydcfc wrote: Fri Jan 17, 2025 3:48 pm New stand won't be ready expect club to make put statement out over weekend.

Someone mentioned Shamrock Rovers did this when their new stand was still under construction.

Definitely. Unless we get off to a bad start you'd expect that game to be a sellout.marcoloco wrote: Wed Jan 22, 2025 4:54 pmA full stadium will be some sight… 23rd May home to Rovers.stevebradley wrote: Wed Jan 22, 2025 4:09 pmLooks the business.brandyball wrote: Wed Jan 22, 2025 3:02 pm Fresh update

Hopefully we get a few other sellouts in the bag as well this year. Increased capacity will take a lot of pressure off for people to snap up tickets early, and Derry people love leaving things to the last minute. But a full stadium with that new stand open should make a huge difference to matchdays now.
