Donegal Community Stadium
The New Finn Harps Stadium is under construction in Stranorlar, Ireland. It is intended as an association football venue to replace Finn Park as the home stadium of Finn Harps F.C.. The stadium is intended to have a capacity of 6,800 spectators. Planning permission was granted in June 2007[1] and ground breaking was started on 12 May 2008. Work recommenced in late 2011 with foundations in place.[2][3] The project was again delayed in October 2012 due to financial reasons, as a decline in property values mean that the new stadium is more dependent on state funding.[4] Planning permission was extended for a further five-year period. In 2015, Finn Harps FC were promoted to the League Of Ireland Premier Division.
