Finn Harps' stadium switch gets half a million euro boost

Moves to relocate from the Premier Division club’s current outdated base in Finn Park have been in the pipeline for almost 20 years

A frustrating wait for Finn Harps to inhabit a new stadium appears to be nearing endgame after Donegal County Council granted an extra €500,000 to complete the project.

The League of Ireland club announced in May plans to halve the proposed seated capacity to 3,300 as delays and construction inflation threatened to scupper the development.
