How can you not see the bigger picture here? As a football fan surely you want to go to games like this? Have a good atmosphere?
I don't want us to beat you in Finn park in front of 1000 people I want us to win in front of 7,000.

There will be some crying if its you and the rest of bogmen can't get a ticket for the game. Small club mentality..No surprise

No we haven't it's government funding controlled by Derry City Council. The club have input but little influence. As its public money all work has to go to tender.

Afaik we dont want two home games just that first game is at home, you'd still then have 2 the 2 home games

You missed my point on the 1000, it was by way of example as that is all we are likely to hold during redevelopment.
Re 2 games - see post above

The way crowds have been in the brandy the last number of seasons i think there will be plenty of room, They could give the Harps 1000 tickets and it still won't be full and if as Henry seems tom be suggesting that Finn Harps coming to Derry will attract 7000 wtf that seems mad when you consider the brutal crowds there in the last number of years then i suggest its the Derry public that are not seeing the bigger picture.

I didn't present anything as fact. There is a lot of vagina straining going on here. My opinion that is shared by others is that Mons timed the announcement knowing the FAI had less options during the Euros. That has equal validity to your belief that it was a coincidence.

But carry on nitpicking over a tiny phrase with Dunadalk there.

You on the gear or what?
Crowds down alright but we can expect a full ground for harps. Its a derby so will attract people who don't normally go.
Where did I say we'd get 7000? I'd be dissappointed if we couldn't get 4k.
What bigger picture do the Derry public not get ?
