Finn Harps have confirmed that Friday’s clash with Cork City FC will kick-off at the earlier time of 6pm due to the ongoing floodlight issues at Finn Park.
“Work is ongoing to resolve the issue as soon as possible for the weeks ahead,” a club spokesperson said.
Earlier this month, the home game against UCD was also brought forward due to the same issue.
“There have been several issues with floodlights at Finn Park in recent years and the club has not been in a position to access the grant for an LED system, but continue to pursue this avenue,” a spokesperson said at the time.
“The club ordered and paid for components before the season, but were informed late on that the order could not be fulfilled. Further efforts to source the needed components saw a delivery today, but the wrong type was sent to us meaning the test this evening failed.”
The spokesperson added that it continues to be a huge challenge to ensure the facilities at Finn Park meet licensing criteria and they are very grateful to their volunteers and local tradespeople for their ongoing efforts.
They added “This regrettable situation is further evidence that the move to a new stadium is vital for the survival of the club.”
