Donegal don't nessessarily want to win the NFL but would they like an extra game, a competitive one at Croke Park against a championship rival? The answer to that would be yes.
Donegal aren’t ruling out hosting Down in Ballybofey
DonegalLive revealed last week that McGuinness and Donegal haven’t given up hope that their Ulster SFC opener with Down can be hosted at MacCumhaill Park.
The Ballybofey venue is currently undergoing redevelopment work, including a ripping up of and relaying of the playing surface.
It wasn’t expected to be ready in time for April but McGuinness, speaking after the win over Kerry, said they were still hopeful of having their traditional home ground available.
“We’re definitely not closing the door on MacCumhaill Park yet either. I think that potentially could be an option for us for the championship as well.
“So we’ll just wait to see how the pitch goes and wait to see how it develops over the next number of months and hopefully a decision will be made then.”
