DERRY CITY TO PLAY OPENING HOME GAMES IN BUNCRANA NEXT SEASON

maginn-parkDERRY City FC will play their opening home matches of the 2017 soccer season at Maginn Park in Buncrana while Brandywell stadium undergoes a major redevelopment.

The club will stage the rest of next season’s games at Maginn Park if they can’t secure an alternative venue.

Derry said the “only difficulty” with the Donegal ground is its capacity, which is said to hold around 2,000 fans.

The multi-million pound project at the Brandywell will include a new stand, changing rooms and new playing surface.

In a statement on its club website, Derry City FC said: “For the greater number of matches, the club believes that the capacity will meet the demand but they realise that in some matches, capacity will be limited.

“We are very pleased and grateful to the management of Maginn for the welcome and the flexibility they have shown to Derry City.

“The club is also exploring ways of providing public transport to and from Buncrana for supporters who don’t drive or who prefer to go to matches with groups of friends.”
