2,000 seats being replaced by Derry City FC at Southend Stand in the Brandywell
Work has begun on the replacement of 2,000 seats in the Southend Stand in the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, Derry City FC have announced.
Derry city & Strabane District Council approved the works earlier this year.
Replacements are necessary as a significant number of seats in the Southend Stand have reached the end of their lifespan, the club said.
Contractors started work after Derry City FC played their final home fixture of the season against Dundalk.
“Over 2,000 seats have been removed from the Southend Stand. These will be replaced in the coming weeks, with new seating available for supporters for the 2027 season.. The club would like to place on record our appreciation to Council for their support on this matter.
“Sales for 2027 Season Tickets will open after this work is completed, which is scheduled for the end of November,” the club confirmed as work got underway at the Brandywell.
