Derry City

Derry City played their home games at Maginn Park from the beginning of the 2017 season, due to renovation works at the Brandywell Stadium, Derry, Northern Ireland.[2][3] The first League of Ireland match at the ground, against Limerick in March 2017, was abandoned after 25 minutes due to floodlight failure and torrential rain.[4] The final match in October 2017 was a 1-1 draw against St. Patrick’s Athletic.

gollark: If we approximate it by saying that having and raising a child consumes 50% of your resources and the other half of said resources can be used on direct contributions to things, and the child will definitely help with whatever your goal is, than the child provides a 50% benefit.
gollark: Children *are* quite expensive, but it's possible that a reducing population would actually be bad for future development of civilization and such - you would have fewer 1-in-1-million geniuses or something.
