In pics: Derry to play home games in Donegal as Brandywell redevelopment begins

The diggers have moved in.

DERRY CITY WILL play their home games at Maginn Park in Buncrana during the 2017 SSE Airtricity League season as work continues on their Brandywell stadium.

The League of Ireland club finally received the green light to begin the redevelopment of the ground at the end of last year and pictures taken this week show the progress being made.

The multi-million pound project includes the construction of a new stand and changing rooms as well as the installation of a new 3G pitch.

Derry begin their Premier Division campaign away to Bohemians on 24 February before facing Limerick at home a week later.

The club had previously explored the option of using Celtic Park, the home of Derry GAA, as their home ground but it would have required the backing of the Derry board.
