El club, fundado en 1928, inicialmente jugó en la Liga Irlandesa , la liga nacional de Irlanda del Norte, y ganó un título en 1964–65 . En 1971, las preocupaciones de seguridad relacionadas con los problemas hicieron que los partidos no se pudieran jugar en el Brandywell. El equipo jugó partidos en casa a 30 millas (48 km) de distancia en Coleraine . Las fuerzas de seguridad retiraron sus objeciones al uso del Brandywell al año siguiente, pero ante la insistencia de la Liga Irlandesa de que continuara el arreglo insostenible, el club se retiró de la liga. Después de 13 años en el fútbol juvenil, se unió a la nueva Primera División de la Liga de Irlanda en 1985–86. El Derry ganó el título de Primera División y logró el ascenso a la Premier Division en 1987, y permaneció allí hasta un descenso administrativo en 2009. El club ganó un triplete doméstico en 1988-89 , el único club de la Liga de Irlanda hasta ahora en hacerlo. [4]
Después de pasar la mayor parte de su tiempo en la Liga de Irlanda en la Premier Division, el club fue expulsado en noviembre de 2009 cuando se descubrió que había contratos secundarios no oficiales con jugadores. Fue reinstalado unas semanas después pero degradado a Primera División, la segunda grada. [5]
Historia
Fundado en 1928, el club decidió no usar el controvertido título oficial de la ciudad, Londonderry, en su nombre, [6] mientras que también decidió no continuar con el nombre del club principal anterior de la ciudad, Derry Celtic , para ser más inclusivo para todas las identidades y aficionados al fútbol de la ciudad. [7] [8] A Derry City se le concedió la entrada en la Liga Irlandesa en 1929 como profesionales y la Londonderry Corporation le dio permiso para utilizar el estadio municipal de Brandywell. [7] El primer éxito significativo del club se produjo en 1935 cuando levantó la Copa de la Ciudad . [9] Repitió la hazaña en 1937, pero no ganó otro gran trofeo hasta 1949, cuando venció a Glentoran para ganar su primera Copa de Irlanda . [10] Ganó la Copa de Irlanda por segunda vez en 1954, superando de nuevo a Glentoran, [11] y por tercera vez en 1964 - ese año también ganó la Copa de Oro - a pesar de la conversión del club al estado de medio tiempo después de la abolición del salario máximo en 1961. Esto condujo a la primera entrada del club en una competición europea, en la Recopa de la UEFA de 1964-65 , en la que fue derrotado por Steaua Bucarest por 5-0 en el global. [12] El club ganó la Liga Irlandesa 1964-65 y posteriormente se convirtió en el primer equipo de la Liga Irlandesa en ganar una eliminatoria europea a dos partidos, venciendo al FK Lyn 8-6 en el global de la Copa de Europa 1965-66 . [13] Derry no completó la siguiente ronda, ya que la Asociación Irlandesa de Fútbol (IFA) declaró que su campo no estaba a la altura, [7] después de que se jugó un partido allí durante la ronda anterior. Derry sospechaba de motivos sectarios , [14] ya que actuaba en una ciudad principalmente nacionalista y, por lo tanto, había llegado a ser apoyado en gran parte por católicos. La IFA, con sede en Belfast , estaba dominada por protestantes y se sospechaba ampliamente que hubiera preferido estar representada por un equipo tradicionalmente unionista . [15] [16] Las relaciones entre el club y la IFA se deterioraron rápidamente. [17]
No había habido un historial significativo de dificultades sectarias en los partidos en los primeros 40 años de la historia del club, pero en 1969 la campaña de Derechos Civiles se desintegró en violencia comunal, a la que siguieron 30 años de los Troubles . [18] A pesar de los disturbios sociales y políticos, Derry llegó a la final de la Copa de Irlanda en 1971, en la que fue derrotado por 3-0 por Distillery . [19] Como la localidad republicana que rodea a Brandywell vio la peor violencia, numerosos clubes apoyados por sindicalistas se mostraron reacios a jugar allí. La Policía Real del Ulster (RUC) dictaminó que la zona era insegura para los accesorios. Sin otro terreno local viable disponible, Derry tuvo que viajar a la ciudad de mayoría unionista de Coleraine , a más de 30 millas (48 km) de distancia, para jugar sus juegos "en casa" en el Showgrounds . Esta situación duró desde septiembre de 1971 hasta octubre de 1972 cuando, frente a la disminución de la multitud (la mayoría de los fanáticos del Derry no estaban dispuestos a viajar a Coleraine debido a la situación política y el viaje más largo) y las graves finanzas, el club solicitó formalmente permiso para regresar al Brandywell. A pesar de una nueva evaluación de las fuerzas de seguridad que concluyó que el Brandywell ya no era más peligroso que cualquier otro campo de la liga y un levantamiento de la prohibición de seguridad, la propuesta de Derry cayó por un voto a manos de sus compañeros de la Liga Irlandesa. [18] Continuar sin un terreno se consideró insostenible y el 13 de octubre de 1972 Derry se retiró de la liga en medio de la percepción de que efectivamente fue expulsado. [7] [20] [21]
El club continuó como un equipo juvenil durante los 'años salvajes' de 13 años, jugando en la liga local de los sábados por la mañana, y buscó la readmisión a la Liga Irlandesa. [20] Cada vez, el club nominó al Brandywell como su lugar de origen elegido, pero la Liga Irlandesa rechazó la readmisión. Ante la sospecha de que el rechazo fue impulsado por el sectarismo, [14] y creyendo que nunca volvería a ser admitido, Derry dirigió su atención a otra parte. [18]
Entrada en la Liga de Irlanda
Derry solicitó unirse a la reorganizada Liga de Irlanda (la liga de la República de Irlanda) en 1985 con el Brandywell como su hogar. El movimiento requirió una dispensa especial de la IFA y la FIFA , pero finalmente Derry fue admitido en la nueva Primera División de la liga para 1985, uniéndose como semiprofesional. [7] Como su estadio estaba situado en un área incondicionalmente republicana una vez conocida como " Free Derry ", con una historia de escepticismo hacia el RUC en la comunidad local, [18] Derry recibió un permiso especial de la UEFA para administrar sus propios juegos. Se consideró más probable que la presencia del RUC provocara problemas que ayudara a prevenirlos. [22]
El primer partido de Derry en el nuevo sistema fue una victoria por 3-1 en la Copa de la Liga de Irlanda sobre Home Farm of Dublin en el Brandywell el 8 de septiembre de 1985. [23] El regreso del fútbol senior a Derry atrajo a grandes multitudes. [7] Más adelante en la temporada, después de convertirse en profesional, ganó el Escudo de Primera División de la Liga de Irlanda con una victoria global por 6-1 sobre Longford Town . [24] Al año siguiente, 1987, Derry ganó la Primera División y el ascenso a la Primera División, [25] permaneciendo allí desde entonces. El club llegó a la final de la Copa FAI de 1988 , pero perdió ante Dundalk . La temporada siguiente, 1988-1989, el club se vio obligado económicamente a volver al estado semiprofesional, pero el equipo de Jim McLaughlin consiguió un triplete ; la liga, la Copa de la Liga y la Copa FAI. Al clasificarse para la Copa de Europa 1989-1990 , se enfrentó a los ganadores anteriores, el Benfica , en la primera ronda. [7]
Altos y bajos modernos
Desde 1989, Derry ha ganado la Primera División de la Liga de Irlanda una vez, en 1996-1997 , pero ha sido subcampeón en tres ocasiones. Agregó cuatro Copas FAI más a su cuenta en 1995, 2002, 2006 y 2012 fue subcampeón en 1994, 1997 y 2008 y también ha ganado diez Copas de la Liga más. [26]
El club se ha visto acosado por problemas financieros y estuvo al borde de la bancarrota debido a una factura de impuestos impaga en 2000. Las celebridades locales y la gente de la ciudad llevaron a cabo un gran esfuerzo de recaudación de fondos para salvar al club de la extinción. [27] Derry jugó amistosos de alto perfil contra clubes como Celtic , [28] Manchester United , [29] Barcelona [30] y Real Madrid [31] para recaudar dinero extra. Esto ayudó a mantener al club en funcionamiento, pero las dificultades persistieron y Derry estuvo a punto de perder su lugar en la Premier Division en 2003 cuando terminó noveno y tuvo que disputar un desempate de ascenso de descenso a dos partidos con sus rivales locales , Finn Harps . Derry ganó 2-1 en el global después de la prórroga en el Brandywell y permaneció en la máxima categoría, evitando mayores daños. [32]
Con las finanzas aseguradas, el club se convirtió en el primero en Irlanda en recibir una licencia principal de la UEFA en 2004. [33] Derry reintrodujo el fútbol profesional y su forma mejoró, [34] ya que terminó segundo en 2005. [35] Derry's 2005 La victoria de la Copa de la Liga también vio al club clasificarse para la Copa Setanta transfronteriza por primera vez en 2006. [36] [37] Entró en las rondas preliminares de la Copa de la UEFA 2006-07 , venciendo a IFK Göteborg y Gretna para alcanzar la primera. ronda donde se enfrentó al Paris Saint-Germain ; [17] después de un empate 0-0 en casa, perdió 2-0 como visitante. [38] Derry terminó segundo de nuevo en 2006, [39] pero ganó la Copa FAI y el doble de la Copa de la Liga . [40] [41] Se clasificó para la Copa Setanta 2007 , así como para las rondas preliminares de la UEFA Champions League 2007-08 , [42] y fue aceptado en la Premier Division reestructurada para 2007. [43] El club tenía un decepcionante campaña de liga en 2007, terminando séptimo a pesar de ser favoritos de pretemporada. [44] Sin embargo, logró ganar su octava Copa de la Liga , gracias a una victoria por 1-0 sobre los bohemios en Brandywell. [ cita requerida ]
El club, debido a enormes deudas, fue expulsado de la Liga de Irlanda por la FAI en noviembre de 2009 por violar el Acuerdo de Participación y se disolvió, pero un nuevo club de Derry con el nombre de "Derry City" se unió para 2010, y la FAI lo permitió. en la Primera División [5] [45] En enero de 2010, con una nueva junta, se informó que el nuevo presidente, Philip O'Doherty, había adquirido un nuevo contrato de equipación con Hummel. Adicionalmente, O'Doherty fue citado en el Derry Journal refiriéndose a la aplicación para jugar en Primera División:
... Estoy seguro de que hemos proporcionado una solicitud de calidad y esperamos que obtengamos la licencia UEFA necesaria para competir en Primera División. [46]
El lunes 15 de febrero de 2010, el nuevo Derry City recibió una licencia de Primera División por parte del Comité de Licencias de Clubes Independientes, lo que le permitió ser elegible para competir en la Primera División de 2010. [47] A finales de octubre de 2010, Derry se había asegurado el título de Primera División y, con él, el ascenso a la primera división después de ganar 1-0 en el Monaghan United en el último partido de la temporada. [48]
El máximo goleador de Derry esa temporada, Mark Farren , que terminó con un total de 20 goles, marcó el gol de la victoria contra Monaghan antes de retirarse del fútbol por razones médicas mientras buscaba combatir un tumor benigno ubicado en su cerebro. Farren murió de cáncer en febrero de 2016 y su camiseta número 18 fue retirada por el club.

Colores y crestas
Derry City wore Aston Villa Football Club's famous claret and blue jerseys with white shorts for its first season – 1929–30.[49] The colours lasted until 1932, when white jerseys with black shorts were adopted.[7] This style was replaced by the now-traditional red and white "candystripes" with black shorts in 1934. The style derived from Sheffield United, who wore the pattern and, specifically, Billy Gillespie,[7] a native of nearby Donegal.[50] He played for Sheffield United from 1913 until 1932, captaining them to a 1925 FA Cup win. The club's most capped player with 25 appearances for Ireland,[50] he was held in such high regard in his home country that when he left Sheffield United in 1932 to become Derry's player-manager, they changed their strip within two years in appreciation of his career at Sheffield United.[49]
Derry have worn red and white stripes since, except from 1956 to 1962, when the club's players wore amber and black.[7] Jerseys since 1962 have had "candystripes" of varying thickness. The kit features white socks – originally black socks were used and occasionally red if a clash with the opposition occurred. Similarly, white shorts were adopted for a spell in the early 1970s and for 1985.[49] They are still sometimes worn if a clash occurs, as are black socks. Away jerseys have varied in colour from white, to navy and green stripes, to yellow, to white and light-blue stripes, and to black.[51]
Derry have had various kit suppliers, including Adidas,[52] Avec,[53] Erreà, Fila, Le Coq Sportif,[54] Matchwinner,[53] Umbro,[55] Spall O'Neills, Hummel, and, currently, Adidas.[56] Commercial sponsorship logos to appear on the shirt's front have included Northlands,[57] Warwick Wallpapers,[58] Fruit of the Loom,[53] Smithwick's[54] and AssetCo. Logos to have appeared on the sleeve have included the Trinity Hotel,[59] Tigi Bed Head and Tigi Catwalk. For 2007, the logos of local media, Q102.9 and the Derry News, appeared on the back of the shirt just below the neck, along with the logo of Meteor Electrical on the jersey's front.[60]
The club did not sport a crest on the club jersey throughout the Irish League years, nor for most of the first League of Ireland season. Instead, the coat of arms of the city appeared on club memorabilia such as scarves, hats and badges. The symbols on the arms are a skeleton, three-towered castle, red St. George's cross and sword. The sword and cross are devices of the City of London, and along with an Irish harp embedded within the cross, demonstrate the link between the two cities – the city's official name under UK law is Londonderry and the city itself was developed by The Honourable The Irish Society, a livery company of the City of London. The castle is thought to be an old local Norman keep built in 1305 by the de Burca clan.[61] The skeleton is believed to be that of a knight of the same clan who was starved to death in the castle dungeons in 1332.[62] This is accompanied by the Latin motto, "Vita, veritas, victoria", meaning "Life, truth, victory."
In April 1986 the club ran a competition in local schools to design a crest for them. The winning entry was designed by John Devlin, a St. Columb's College student, and was introduced on 5 May 1986 as Derry hosted Nottingham Forest for a friendly, with Liam Nelis and Paul Gormley (on his fifth birthday) acting as mascots. The crest depicted a simplified version of the city's Foyle Bridge, which had opened 18 months previously, the traditional red and white stripes of the jersey bordered by thin black lines, the year in which the club was founded and a football in the centre representing the club as a footballing entity. The name of the club appeared in Impact font.
With the novelty of the Foyle Bridge wearing off over time, the crest lasted until 15 July 1997, when the current one was unveiled at Lansdowne Road with the meeting of Derry City and Celtic during a pre-season friendly tournament.[63] The modern crest also features a centred football, the year of founding and the club's name in a contemporary sans-serif font – Industria Solid. The famous red and white stripes are present along with a red mass of colour filling the left half of the crest, separated from the right by a white stripe. Known cultural landmarks or items associated with the city are absent from the minimalist design. The crests have always been positioned over the heart on the home jerseys.
Tierra de origen
Derry City's home ground is the municipal Brandywell Stadium, situated just south-west of the Bogside in the Brandywell area of Derry. It is often abbreviated to "the Brandywell" and is also a local greyhound racing venue, with an ovoid track encircling the pitch. The dimensions of the pitch measure 111 by 72 yards (101 m × 66 m).[64] The legal owner is the Derry City Council which lets the ground to the club.[7] Due to health and safety regulations the stadium has a seating capacity of 2,900 for UEFA competitions,[65] although it can accommodate 7,700 on a normal match-day, terraces included.[66] The curved cantilever all-seated "New Stand" was constructed in 1991, while development on the still-insufficient facilities has been delayed numerous times and had yet to take place as of the end of the 2016 season.[67][68][69][70][71]
Plans of Derry City's to purchase a pitch fell through after its formation due to the tight time-scale between its foundation in 1928 and the season's beginning in 1929 and so the Londonderry Corporation (now the Derry City Council) was approached for the use of the Brandywell which had been used for football up until the end of the 19th century. It agreed and the club still operates under the constraints of The Honourable The Irish Society charter limitations which declare that the Brandywell must be available for the recreation of the community. In effect, the club does not have private ownership and, thus, cannot develop by its own accord, with that discretion or whether to sell being left to the Derry City Council.[7][72][73][74][75]
Derry City's first game at the Brandywell was a 2–1 loss to Glentoran on 22 August 1929.[7] In 1933, the purchase of Bond's Field in the Waterside was mentioned, but it was thought to be too far away from the fan-base which had built up on the Cityside, especially in the Brandywell area. It also had first option on Derry Celtic's old ground, Celtic Park, but hesitated on a final decision and the Gaelic Athletic Association bought it ten years later. It also decided against buying Meenan Park for £1,500.[7]
Because of Northern Ireland's volatile political situation during the Troubles and security fears for Protestants and those of the unionist tradition visiting the mainly nationalist city of Derry, the Brandywell has not always been the home ground of Derry City. In 1970 and 1971, Derry had to play its "home" ties against Linfield at Windsor Park in Belfast – the home-ground of Linfield. From September 1971 until October 1972 Derry was forced to play all its "home" games at the Showgrounds in mainly Protestant Coleraine, over 30 miles (48 km) away, as police ruled the republican Brandywell area as too unsafe for visiting unionists, who themselves made up at least half of Derry City's own fanbase at that time. The Brandywell did not see senior football for another 13 years as the Irish Football League upheld a ban on the stadium and Derry decided to leave the league as a result.[18] Only greyhound meetings and junior football were held during this time.[14] Derry's admission to the League of Ireland in 1985 saw a return of senior games.
In December 2010 the club introduced a new credit card type season ticket system to ensure abuse of tickets could no longer occur and additionally ensuring more accurate attendance count at matches.[76]
They played all their home matches of the 2017 season at Maginn Park in Buncrana due to renovation works at the Brandywell.[77]
Partidarios
By Irish standards, Derry City have a relatively large and loyal fan-base. The club was considered among the strongest and best-supported teams in the Irish League,[78] and upon the club's entry into the League of Ireland in 1985, crowds of nearly 10,000 attended to the Brandywell for the return of matches. Derry's average home attendance of 3,127 was the highest of any team for the 2006 season.[79] The highest attendance was the last-night-of-the-season meeting between Derry and Cork City at the Brandywell on Friday 17 November when 6,080 watched Derry win 1–0.[80] Domestically, Derry's supporters travel to away games in "bus-loads".[58] They gave large support in the club's 2006 UEFA Cup run – around 3,000 travelled to Motherwell and "maintained a wall of sound" as Derry beat Gretna 5–1 at Fir Park,[81][82] and "some 3,000" went to Paris to see Derry play Paris Saint-Germain in the Parc des Princes.[83] During the home legs, ticketless fans desperate to see the games watched from a distance while standing on the high vantage point overlooking the Brandywell offered by the City Cemetery in Creggan and parked hired double-decker buses outside the stadium to help them see over the ground's perimeter.[84][85]
The club is known for its community spirit, and the supporters have played a pivotal role in the survival and successes of the club. When debts brought Derry close to extinction in the 2000–01 season, the local community responded en masse to help save the club. During the club's successful 2006 season, club captain, Peter Hutton said:
Nobody owns Derry City F.C. apart from the people of Derry. Five or six years ago the club was on its knees, on the verge of going out of business. There was no sugar-daddy, no millionaire, no Roman Abramovich to save the club. It was the people and the city who saved the club. People, fans, ordinary people; they went out and banged on doors to collect money, they went around pubs with collection buckets, they did what they could to keep the club alive. Derry is a close-knit place, a small community, they care about their club and that's why we still have a club. And every bit of success we may get this season is down to them.[86]
Likewise, former Social Democratic and Labour Party leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner John Hume, who was the club's president,[60] stated in 1998 of the club's relationship with the community:
Derry City F.C. has been the linchpin in the life of the community in Derry since its foundation in 1928. Throughout the club's history, the Candystripes have provided a sporting outlet for young people and older supporters alike. The history of the club is intertwined with that of its city. It has seen struggle and marginalisation turn to renewal and success. The pride people have in this club reflects the pride we hold in our city. Derry City players and supporters alike are superb ambassadors for the city. Today, the club, like the city, looks to the future with great hope. For all its successes, Derry City would be nothing without the people of the city.[87]
Support for the club is quite dependent on geography and crosses social boundaries. Fans come from both working class areas, such as the Brandywell area and Bogside, and more affluent regions of the city, like Culmore. The Cityside is seen as the traditional base of the club, especially the Brandywell area, although the Waterside is also home to a smaller number of supporters.[15] The club are supported mainly by Derry's nationalist community. The connection is argued to be rooted mainly in geography, as well as social, cultural and historical circumstances, as opposed to the club or its fans pushing towards the creation of a certain identity.[15] Indeed, prior to 1969, over half of the club's support base came from the sizeable Unionist community that lived in the cityside at the time. The onset of the troubles made the Brandywell's Nationalist location too dangerous to visit and Unionist support fell away to a small minority, in keeping with the rapid Unionist depopulation of the cityside as a whole. The city's wider Protestant community, almost entirely based in the Waterside, is largely apathetic, though some unionists and loyalists see the club as a symbol of Catholicism and nationalism as a result of the sectarian divide in support.[15][88][89][90][91][92][93] Joining the Republic of Ireland's league augmented the perception and, on occasion, Protestant hooligans have thrown missiles at Derry's supporter buses as they journeyed to or returned from games across the border.[94] Minor nationalist elements within the Derry City support-base see football as a means of reinforcing sectarian divides.[15]
With the city being a focal point of culture and activity serving the north-west region of Ireland, support stretches beyond the urban border and into the surrounding county; Limavady, Strabane in nearby County Tyrone[95] and areas of bordering County Donegal contain support.[96] The club has numerous supporter clubs, along with ultra fans, and support beyond Ireland – mainly emigrated city natives. Derry City Chat is a discussion website run by fans. Derry's fans share a rivalry with the supporters of Finn Harps and sing the Undertones' Teenage Kicks as a terrace anthem.

Registros
Peter Hutton holds the club record for matches played in League of Ireland football with a total of more than 660 appearances for Derry City, a club record.[110] As of 16 July 2007[update], Paul Curran has made the second highest number of appearances for the club in the League of Ireland with 518, followed by Sean Hargan with 408 since 1995.
The club's all-time highest goal-scorer is Jimmy Kelly with 363 goals between 1930 and 1951.[111] Since the entry of the club into League of Ireland football, Mark Farren is Derry's top scorer with 114 goals after 209 competitive appearances for the club between 2003 and 2012.[112] Derry's first ever scorer was Peter Burke at home to Glentoran on 22 August 1929 as the club lost 2–1.[113] Two days later, Sammy Curran had the honour of scoring Derry's first hat-trick, as the club came back from 5 to 1 down away to Portadown, only to lose 6–5 to a late goal.[113] Barry McCreadie was Derry's first scorer in the League of Ireland as he scored during a 3–1 home win over Home Farm on 8 September 1985.[113] Derry's first hat-trick in the League of Ireland was scored by Kevin Mahon away to Finn Harps on 15 December 1985.[113] Derry's 1000th league goal was scored by Conor Sammon on 9 May 2008 against Shamrock Rovers. A number[quantify] of capped internationals[who?] have also played for Derry.
Derry's record League of Ireland defeat was to Longford Town in January 1986 – the score was 5–1.[60] The club's record League of Ireland win was 9–1 against Galway United in October 1986.[60] The club has only suffered relegation in the Irish League due to a breach of regulations, in 2009. Derry are the only League of Ireland team to have completed a treble, in the 1988–89 season. Derry's 5–1 away win against Gretna at Fir Park, Motherwell in the 2006–07 UEFA Cup second qualifying round is the largest away winning margin for any League of Ireland team in European competition. Derry played a record number of 54 games in the whole 2006 season, including all competitions. Previously, the record had been the 49 games played in all competitions during the treble-winning 1988–89 season.[114]
The Brandywell's record attendance in the League of Ireland system is 9,800 people who attended an FAI Cup second round tie between Derry and Finn Harps on 23 February 1986.[64] In the Irish League, a crowd of 12,000 attended the 1929–30 season home game against Linfield.[115]
En la cultura popular
Derry City have made numerous appearances in popular culture. In the world of music, the club was given exposure by Derry punk band, The Undertones, which had the cover of its 1980 hit single, "My Perfect Cousin", feature a Subbuteo figure sporting the colours of Derry City. The song's video included the group's front-man, Feargal Sharkey, kicking and leaping to head a ball while wearing the red and white jersey.[116] Similarly, on the cover of its second ever single, Get Over You, the words "Derry City F.C." can be seen.[117]
The club have also featured on popular television. Due to the fact that it is a club based in Northern Ireland playing in the league of the Republic of Ireland, it often receives the attention of broadcasters in both jurisdictions. In the BBC documentary series Who Do You Think You Are? shown the night before Derry's clash with Paris St. Germain in the 2006–07 UEFA Cup first round, it was highlighted that Archie McLeod, the grandfather of Doctor Who actor David Tennant, was a Derry City player. Derry had supplied a lucrative signing-on fee and had enticed him over from Scotland.[118] Likewise, features about the club were run by Football Focus prior to and after the same UEFA Cup game. Irish television has also featured the club. Derry City played in the first League of Ireland match ever to be shown live on television when it visited Tolka Park to play Shelbourne during the 1996–97 season. The game was broadcast on RTÉ's Network 2 and finished 1–1 with Gary Beckett scoring for Derry.
Another medium to play host to the club has been the radio. On 20 April 2005, Derry City featured in an audio documentary The Blues and the Candy Stripes on RTÉ Radio 1's Documentary on One. The documentary was produced in the aftermath of the historic friendly game between Derry and Linfield that took place on 22 February 2005 – the first between the two teams to occur since a game on 25 January 1969 during which Linfield's fans had to be evacuated from the Brandywell by police at half-time due to civil unrest and ugly scenes within the ground.[119] The 2005 match was organised as a kind of security test in the run-up to the likely possibility that both teams, with socially polar fan-bases, qualified for and be drawn against one another in a Setanta Cup competition.[18]

Club connections feared it would fail to be awarded a licence to compete because of its financial problems and were worried that its participation would prove detrimental to the UEFA coefficient of the league as it had to release its whole first-team prior to the 2007 season and form a team of mainly youngsters.
