I'm not sure whether you're talking about catchment area or the actual site Dalymount is on? I'm only talking about the site One of the stands will be the back of a tesco and I think they sold the car park as well,so their ability to build a 10k seater there is severely hampered. |

From the Sun
REDEVELOPMENT work on Dalymount Park could begin in
2017 after its sale finally went through. It had been reported that the deal between Bohemians and
Dublin City Council (DCC) had been completed this summer but the paperwork was
not finalised until last week. A meeting of members was informed of some of the
details of the agreement which, along with a deal over member loans, has seen
debts slashed from more than €6million to less than €300,000. Bohs will play at Dalymount next year but must seek a
temporary home if work starts in 2017. It is ‘99 per cent certain’ the Phibsborough pitch
will be rotated by 90 degrees as part of a complete revamp of the dilapidated
ground. A 4G surface will be installed to allow regular use by
Bohs as well as making the facilities available to the local community. Initial drawings would see two stands, each with a
capacity of 4,500, constructed at the School and Tramway ends. They are
currently behind either goal. Two smaller stands, each of which would hold between
500 and 700, would be built on the Connaught Street and North Circular Road
sides. All plans would have to be approved by the relevant
authorities before work could proceed but the club’s rental agreement has been
thrashed out. Bohs’ annual lease to DCC will cost €60,000 and allow them to
host 40 matches at the ground which has been their home since 1901. That figure offers considerable leeway given there
were just 22 competitive first-team games there in 2015. And the rent is less
than Bohs currently spend to maintain a ground which had fallen into such
disrepair that only two of the four sides could be used. In addition, the terms of the lease will allow Bohs to
host another ten special events during a calendar year. It is envisaged these would primarily be for community
days but could also be used to stage concerts. In the past, Bob Marley, Thin Lizzy and the Boomtown
Rats all played gigs at Dalymount. Nearby Croke Park can host three concerts
per year and Bohs would hope to get the go-ahead for smaller gigs. If, as expected, the FAI seek to play underage
internationals at Dalymount, it is thought they will deal directly with DCC. Bohs will have offices and bars under one of the
stands, probably the School End, which is also expected to house the main
dressing rooms. The three current bars in Dalymount are a significant source of
revenue. Talks are ongoing between DCC and Shelbourne about the
possibility of them moving in as co-tenants. Shels are trying to raise funds to agree a deal with
developer Jerry O’Reilly, who holds an interest in Tolka Park, to facilitate
its sale. Although an agreement looks some way off, it is
expected space under a new Tramway End stand would be set aside for their
future use. Bohs have not yet entered into any talks over
temporary homes but a club source admitted there are only two real
possibilities on Dublin’s northside — Tolka or Morton Stadium. |

That was always happening. The Corpo are looking to maximise the revenue they can make, football considerations are way down the list.

Although fair is fair, we all laugh at the Bohs directors and their antics over the years, but negotiating 60k a year rent when they had no cards to play appears to be a good deal.

Have you played on a 4G pitch ? It's still not grass no matter what G it is. |

Agree but it's consistent, given the state of some of the pitches in Ireland and the fact the DCC actually want to make it profitable astro was the only logical choice imo.

Its consistent in the sense that Bohs had a great pitch, made a conscious decision not to maintain it and a third party has decided for them that it will be astro from now on.

Dramatically less, but I am sure you know that having to play your European games in Tallaght. They are getting it for €1,500 an event inclusive of bars and office spaces. If you take the 22 home games as the benchmark, that is €2,700 a game, 181 punters at €15 a pop and they are in 'profit'.

From the rtid article, it's Schoolhouse End not School End. Schoolhouse and Tramway will no longer be Ends if they rotate the pitch. But it would be nice to bring back 'Tramway' as a label, images of shared Public Transport rather than 'Shopping Centre End' which was accurate but very commercial.
Having three bars under the Schoolhouse, wonderful nostalgia. Will the Jodi Stand be knocked and replaced with one of the 500 or 700 capacity stand. How many structures have been there over the years? The raised wooden stand before Jodi was ancient, but I'm sure there was one more before that. Always sorry shallow terracing in front of that wooden went with the building of the Jodi. Italians call that terracing infot of stands 'parterre'. Any word on the three or four steps of terracing to left of Jodi immediately before chip shop?

I think people have been put off by the oriel pitch - which is an awful pitch. Derry seem to be going the same way with their new ground. If you don't look after your pitch it will be terrible whether it's grass or artificial. |

I suppose we`ll all have to get used to 4G or artificial pitches as they seem to be the way forward. Forget Oriel, that`s an early example of what`s worst about this kind of surface. The technology of artificial pitches has moved on in heaps and will keep improving at a speed of knots over the coming years. In fact, we could all one day be asking ourselves how players ever coped with rain-sodden grass pitches.
