153. An update on the NI Football Fund - Bobby Farren

This week's episode has focused on the Bannsiders' off the pitch efforts as we welcomed Bobby Farren on the show.

Mr Farren was asked onto the show after the club announced this week its application to the Northern Ireland Football Fund for £10 million to support the development of the South Stand at The Showgrounds, transforming the venue into the North West Regional Stadium.

Speaking to co-hosts Damian Mullan and Johnny McNabb, the Bid Manager explained the reasons behind the Bannsiders' bid, what they would do with the monies if successful and how the funding can help the local community.

Furthermore, Mr Farren gave an update on the community pitch and how the synesthetic surface should be laid in the coming weeks.

Of course, there is also a chat regarding on-the-pitch matters as Coleraine played out a 2-2 draw against Cliftonville, as well as looking ahead to this weekend's clash at home to Portadown.

As ever, we would like to thank our sponsors the Lodge Hotel.
