So 2 National league games in Ballyshannon and only one in Letterkenny? Thoughts on that? With O Donnell park able to hold 2/3000 more I thought they would've gotten 2 of the 3 home league games. Maybe our record in ODP is a factor as to why we have picked 2 games for Ballyshannon. dgcrusader (Donegal) - Posts: 148 - 24/11/2025 11:30:33 2645864 Link 0 |

Donegal have an excellent record in Ballyshannon ODP has a better stand. But the new pitch in Ballyshannon plays better in all kinds of weather

There should be no matches in Ballyshannon because of the lack of a Stand there. Rediculas that a so called County ground has no Stand with all the past County Board officers from that area.

Jim on record as preferring Ballyshannon and our record there is impressive compared to Letterkenny. You can be sure Jim was consulted on this and will have had considerable influence. There is more comfort for supporters in Letterkenny but you can't argue with the records in both PeterQ92 (Donegal) - Posts: 172 - 24/11/2025 21:28:42 2645964 Link 1 |

Could be the same approach to last year's league. Get results on the board as quickly as possible and ensure Div1 safety. If that means playing more games in Fr Tierney to improve the chances of that happening so be it. I think the Ulster darw is on this Thursday is it? A benign draw is well overdue. 2024: QF: Derry (a) SF: Tyrone F: Armagh 2025: Prelim: Derry (h) QF: Monaghan (a) SF: Down F: Armagh Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 10144 - 25/11/2025 09:41:58 2645980 Link 0 |

Yes I think we are due a less challenging route this time, although probably hard to get such a draw in Ulster. I have a feeling we could be drawn against our previous manager... The new jersey is also out on Thursday so a big day all round. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1385 - 25/11/2025 10:56:19 2645991 Link 0 |

I'd take that! The last two ulsters took a lot out of the players no matter what way you want to look at it so anything resembling a slightly less strenuous route would be most welcome.

The reason ODP has a great stand compared to Fr Tierney park is because of Jim mcdaid, fair play to him. Apart from the stand no work done on terraces in ODP and little has been done since opening of stand. Ballyshannon doesn't have a good stand but plenty if work ongoing on terraces meaning good vantage point s from most areas in ground . The overriding consideration is our record there, not the accommodation of supporters. The choice of venues will have been made by Jim
