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 and ground breaking was started on 12 May 2008. Work recommenced in late 2011 with foundations in place. 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. Planning permission was extended for a further five-year period.
Construction
Initial drawings had the stadium planned as a 7,000 seater stadium, but minor changes were made to make it a 6,600 all-seat stadium. Ground was broken in 2008 but it wasn't until 2014 that significant building work was undertaken on site.
