Harps game

Post by kitwe »

May seem a bit premature but it's never too early to "follow" City.
Do you think the club will get a ticket allocation for this must attend match?

Home under 12s €2 away concession €12 does this mean under 12 City fans must pay €10 more?

In the absence of an "AWAY CHILD" option, it appears so.
Maybe you could buy a "HOME CHILD" ticket for €2 and show it on the way into the Derry side? I'm sure they'll let the child in with it.

Haven’t been in Finn Park since they corralled Derry fans through the top end and body searched every single one on the way in. Kenny Shields first north wa est derby. The last time I was body searched like it was by a Brit. The viewing facilities for away fans are as poor as it gets and have been for as long as I can remember.

It will be Loi tv for me………..

Ps it didn’t stop the drink coming in as there is an open fence to Aldi behind the standing area. (I refuse to call it a terrace)………

Finn Park is what it is. We all know the story with their ground move and the lack of funding to progress that. We need to remember that not every club is as lucky as us in having a ground sorted for them by someone else.

I go to Finn Park quite a bit to watch games. It is what it is, and is certainly not unique in the LOI in being past its use-by date.

Think McGinley was only suspended for 1 game. With Finn Park being its usual quagmire the game will probably be a war of attrition. Nothing will give them more pleasure than to stop our run. Hopefully class will tell and we can dig out 3 points. Not sure if Fats will be risked though.

Watched some of the Harps game, (half time and then full time during our game) and they are not as poor as their league position would suggest. The pitch also could be a good leveller for them so the 3 points will have to be battled for and hopefully our good run will continue.

i've watched Harps in the flesh twice so far this season (vs Rovers and vs Bohs). They're not a great side to be honest. Lack creativity, and haven't the fitness to not avoid errors late in games. They created more last seaosn when they had Owolabi in the team. Agree that the pitch will help them a lot though.

Their fans know they're not a great team this year as well, and attendnaces have been plummeting over their openign games - from about 2,500 vs Bohs to 700 vs Drogheda in the space of a month.

I have a feeling that we might not have it all our own way this evening. We haven't performed our best, despite 6 wins, and have only been winning games by the one goal (UCD aside). Their pitch is a real leveller.
Shams went there and won easily, so we'll see how it goes.

I'm scarred by last season.

With Rovers nicking it late last night the pressure is on us to take 3 points.
