With dwindelling fans, many to afraid to travel to Unionist areas, Derry appealled to return to Brandywell. They were refused and the following day Derry City resigned from the league and contiued as a junior side, for 13 years this contiued until in 1985, the Candystripes were granted a move to the League of Ireland First Divison, two years later they were premoted to the Premier Divison and in a brilliant achievment lifted the treble in 1989.
