Hunky Dorys Park, Football stadium in Drogheda, Ireland
Hunky Dorys Park is a football stadium in Drogheda with a 2000-seat capacity divided into four separate stands. These distinct sections allow spectators different viewing angles of the match below.
The venue opened in 1979 and hosted Queens Park Rangers from England in its inaugural match during Drogheda United's preparations. This marked the beginning of its role as the club's home ground.
The stadium takes its name from a sponsorship deal with Hunky Dorys Crisps that began in 2010, marking a shift from its earlier names United Park and O2 Park.
The ground is easily reached through the Windmill Road entrance with distinct areas for different groups of supporters. Away fans are directed to covered standing sections near the Clubhouse Car Park.
Local authorities once approved plans for a new 10000-seat stadium on the town's outskirts, but financial constraints prevented its construction. This abandoned expansion plan remains part of the ground's story for many supporters.
