Cityview: Matchday Programme

Since 1985, League of Ireland match-day experiences at Brandywell stadium have been augmented by Cityview, the official match-day programme of Derry City Football Club.

Every league, FAI Cup, League Cup, and European fixture since then has been catered for from the day the late Paddy Doherty put pen to paper in the summer of 1985 right up to the articles which are being created for the current season.

Cityview has provided loyal Derry City fans and supporters of opposition clubs visiting the Brandywell with information on current affairs within the world of Irish football; League of Ireland, Irish League, European, and world football news; player profiles; fan views; a regular message from the manager; team news; a half-time quiz; a layout of Brandywell stadium and safety directives; Derry City history and honours; and an editorial on the game and opposition.

Considered by many an integral element of supporting Derry City Football Club and an essential part of the match-day experience, Cityview has gone from strength-to-strength in recent years. 

Cityview has long established itself as an absolutely vital element in the success and financial wellbeing of Derry City Football Club as well as being one of the most important means of communication for the club.

It is safe to say that without a successful Cityview and other marketing and communication branches of the club, Derry City Football Club would not be in the enviable position it currently is.

Fully supported by local, national, and international corporate entities, Cityview provides prospective sponsors with the ability to not only align themselves with the success of Derry City FC, but to actually make a valuable contribution to that success.

The Programme Committee is grateful to all those companies who contribute to Cityview and whose input ensures that, prior to each season, The Programme Committee can ensure that a match-day programme will be available at every competitive fixture every season.

The benefit to each advertiser is that in excess of 15,000 copies are sold sporting their advertisement or sponsorship, and Derry City fans loyally support those who support their club. Derry City Football Club is in the best position to offer advertisers and sponsors access to the largest official fanbase in domestic Irish football and Cityview provides the club and the advertiser with the perfect forum to reach each and every one of those supporters.

For those supporters in a position to attend the Brandywell on match days, Cityview vendors are positioned in Brandywell Avenue, inside Brandywell stadium opposite the Southend Park turnstiles, in the Southend Park stand, and inside Brandywell stadium opposite the Lone Moor Road turnstiles.
