The FAI released a statement following last nights game between Waterford and Galway at Markets Field where the away-end stand was cleared owing to a "structural issue".

The Blues fans who were occupying the stand were forced to watch the game from other areas in the ground, but despite the inconvenience, it did not hush their voices or dampen their spirits.

The Blues secured their place in the promotion/relegation playoff with UCD - beating Galway 3-0 on a night that will not be soon forgotten.

The FAI say they will "Review arrangements around the SSE Airtricity First Division Play-Off Final at Markets Field in Limerick following the relocation of a section of the Waterford FC supporters in the first half of the game.""Local Gardaí and Stadium Event Management issued instructions for Waterford FC fans to leave the Away Stand of the ground after a structural issue developed affecting a section of the floor in the middle of the stand.""The FAI thanks Gardaí and Stadium Event Management for their swift response and the Waterford FC supporters for their immediate cooperation. ""The matter will now be the subject of an FAI review which will include consultation with all parties."
