Finn Harps hope to move into a brand new 6,800 all-seater stadium in 2010 – and they will be the envy of nearly every club in the country.

Harps have done a deal with the trustees of their present ground, a local developer and Donegal Co Council.

The club will move less than a mile from their current Finn Park home in Ballybofey to a new ground in Stranorlar.

The official sod turning ceremony was performed this afternoon
by Minister for Health Promotion and Food Safety Pat ‘the Cope’ Gallagher.

Work on the €9million project, which will also receive financial backing from the FAI and the government, is expected to begin next month.
