Bohemian F.C. Thread

Well it seems to be a great success by the sounds of it. Some revenue figures. 

Hard to justify DCC spend on the the redevelopment unless the pitch was being turned 90 degrees and the residual land on the site used for other purposes as was the plan. Take in the fact that they've also lost the tolka land too, and you'd have to say the Council have made a balls of the whole thing by not getting on with it earlier.

plan now is, new stand capacity 3-5k on Connaught st side, covered terrace at school end, small terrace at tramway end and internal redevelopment of the Jodi, 2026 new completion date.

The main entrance and its murials / paintings are treasure alone - where in Europe will you see this . If the Jodi is just getting a coat of paint and a good hoover then thats a winner as the tradition of the place will be kept - as per a lot of your lot wanting AND true football fans everywhere ditto . Just make sure the away end has a cap of at least 2k and a jasizz roof . 

Its absolutely unfathomable that Shels couldnt come on board on this. Typical Irish backward sh1te. Oh ya lets save Tolka Park. For what. Its a dump and its been a dump for years now. Shels have an average crowd of a few thousand. Ground sharing a brand new shiny stadium.oh no not for us. How are we ever going to progress our facilities with these old age attitudes. Chances are in 10 years time not a thing will have happened except both teams playing in 1950s conditions. Plans plans plans. How much money is wasted on plans and designs in the LOI over the years? Enough to build 2 stadiums probably.

As Tom pointed out, there doesn't seem to be any benefit to the community here so ultimately can the council justify this spend? This isn't a Rovers fan having a go by the way, I'm actually concerned that nothing ends up happening which would be a great shame. Whilst I wasn't a fan of the look of the original plans, another new ground in the league with the potential to host more than just Bohs games would have been great.

Gonna be the cynic here. But I think its just kite flying by DCC to tell us what We could win in the future as they take away the community based stadium. And We are falling for it
