Issue 2 of The Finn Park Tone, the new monthly Finn Harps fanzine, will be on sale this week – and supporters will get a free gift with this edition!
The first issue sold out last month and all copies in a second print run were also snapped up. A free pocket-sized fixtures card will come FREE with issue 2 for Harps supporters!
Increased pagination for the second edition means there is even more reading for Harps fans to get stuck into this week.
In the Big Interview, Chris McNulty speaks to former Finn Harps midfielder John Gerard McGettigan, who recalls how “we feared absolutely nobody” after the club won promotion to the Premier Division – 30 years ago this month! – and competed with the big guns for five seasons.
Finn Harps Historian Bartley Ramsay looks at the fascinating story of how Harps bagged a kit after playing West Bromwich Albion in 1975 – and wonders what happened to the believed-to-be-shrunken clothing in ‘The Colours Of My Harps’.
As Harps play Cobh on Friday, local journalist Paddy Walsh recalls a forgettable, but never-to-be-forgotten trip to Cobh (on a chartered flight from Derry, if you don’t mind!) for a play-off in 1994.
Joe Doherty breaks down the facts and figures on the season so far and looks ahead to what’s coming up in the next month for Harps.
Bartley Ramsay also takes an in-depth look at the latest action from the Finn Harps Academy and women’s teams and Donegal Town native Kevin Haughey charts his journey as a Harps fan in ‘Harps and Me’.
Athlone Town fan Peter Keenan gives us his version of ‘When I Think of Finn Harps, while Chris McNulty examines the possible financial impact of the Republic of Ireland’s play-off defeat in Prague and Shane Bell charts the recent games of the Finn Harps first team.
The edition is illustrated by photographs from the lens of Joe Boland from North West Newspix.
The Finn Park Tone editorial team comprises Joe Doherty, Bartley Ramsay, Chris McNulty and Joe Boland.
The Finn Park Tone is priced at €3 and will be on sale at the Finn Harps v Cobh Ramblers game.
