I just became a part-owner of an Irish football club! (Finn Harps FC)

[@dazzer273]

Brilliant, the roads in Donegal are far better than the roads you will find in the non-sovereign part of Ireland known as Northern Ireland. There is also like two flights per day to and from the capital (Dublin). A beautiful county with 1/3 people bilingual Irish speaker’s, the county is full of history and the most beautiful views. Hopefully Finn Harps and finally achieve their dream of the new stadium.

Always interesting when clubs do stuff like that Had no idea about Real Oviedo But Ik its quite common for fan clubs in lower tiers of Spanish football ⚽

[@AidanMcNelis]

Cracking stuff Tom and Ryan #WeOwnFinnHarps

[@SoccerZombieSTL]

Thank you! Hope this video did your club justice and gets more international interest! For me, it's cool that I get to own shares in a club from my ancestral roots.

[@Onpointsalad]

Let’s go 🤘🏼 keep up the good work. We appreciate you good sir 😎

[@SoccerZombieSTL]

Thank you oh Salad that's always on point!

[@robbysfootyfocus]

Love this ❤ Finn harps are a brilliant club

[@SoccerZombieSTL]

The response to not just this video but the ownership drive has been great! I love to see this kind of stuff in this sport! It's why I'm falling in love with the game: NOTHING unites like soccer!

DUN EEE GAWL

[@RobbZipp]

So does this mean you’re changing your support away from Bohs?

[@SoccerZombieSTL]

They play in two different divisions so I'm safe for now lol

[@BALHAM69]

Regarding first question, sì (yes in Spanish)😮 i own a share in CLAPTON CFC in east London which is only £5/€5\$5😅 Nice watch, thank you. Good editing in explaining to this. if you are in Ireland or near finn harps stadium; do get involved and buy a ownership. if you are a soccer (yes, i am in England and say soccer) football fan, why not say you own a football club! Pick a fan own team and be a proud football team owner. 8:57 are you related to Benjamin.. ? First time i learn your name :) Football is a game of hope yes.

[@SoccerZombieSTL]

No relation to Ben lol. Thanks for the feedback!

I first became interested in fan owned football clubs when Caledonian Braves and NK Tabor appeared on my Facebook feed. I haven’t bought into anything yet but this along with a couple others (Oakland Roots/Oakland Soul, Clapton CFC and AFC Wimbledon) look intriguing.

[@Joseph13163]

Finn harps is unusual in being a rural top flight club whereas GAA normally dominates in rural areas not soccer.The ulster scots in donegal are more or less concentrated in east donegal finn valley,though i think the fans are mixed not necessarily majority ulster scots AFAIK

[@SoccerZombieSTL]

Very interesting! I'm an Ulster Scot by ancestry. The McDowells have an address of "Derry, County Donegal". Did Donegal once stretch into what is currently Northern Ireland?

[@duggy5725]

And the county is pronounced dunny gaul

[@duggy5725]

It's the sole professional club cus donegal is a gaelic football dominated county

[@TheFort87]

Better than the cash-grab BS ones (Caledonian Braves, etc.), but really just a membership, like many other clubs. You don’t really own the club, you just pay into the fund and have to renew every year to get your single vote. It’s like the Green Bay Packers “ownership” where you just donate to a nonprofit and get a tiny vote in a massive pool. Kinda misleading

[@paulgorman3001]

Nooooooo stop saying Donegal like that 😂

[@SoccerZombieSTL]

I'm American, it's my job to butcher pronunciations!

[@SoccerZombieSTL]

Really wondering if the two dislikes I got were from people upset over how I pronounced Donegal. Like, your club is selling membership shares in an attempt to survive and someone was nice enough to do a video on it that has gotten a bit of traction. Would the two of you have just preferred no one did a video? Fuck, people can be so spiteful. Sorry I mispronounced your county.

[@spainishheron]

😂😂 you can never have everyone happy or like a video lol
