Derry fans stage protest outside council meeting against 'broken promises' to city

Derry City fans have this afternoon staged a protest outside the Guildhall during the monthly meeting of Derry City and Strabane District against what they claim are “broken promises” to the city.

The demonstration was in response to the Phase 1 plans for the redevelopment of Brandywell Stadium.

It follows confirmation this week that the new stand on the Lone Moor side of the ground is to be built in stages and would only be completed when funding becomes available.

The protestors (pictured) were joined by Independent councillors Gary Donnelly, Sean Carr, Darren O'Reilly, Warren Robinson and Paul Gallagher.
