 Topic: Rovers / Bohs - Kid friendly?
Posted: 09 Mar 2008 at 7:03pm |

lads - may seem like a strange comment, but have been out of the country for some time and I know there have been bad reports of skumbags causing trouble at league of ireland. Not worried about meself, but have a little 8 year old daughter, who is pure soccer mad and is begging me to take her to a game while we're home. I'll definitley take her to 1-2 bray games ( so she understands its not all glamour!) but wanted to get your thoughts if the rovers / bohs game on april 4th is appropriate (bad language no problem, but would prefer avoiding punch ups in / around the ground etc. Kid safe, or not?

can't advise you there Billybunter but it's an awful shame you have to even think about what should be a happy first game for your daughter

It's in Tolka BB.
There will be a great atmosphere at it and I would advise you to just stay away from the main support cause there will be a lot of comments and chants that you don't want your daughter to hear.
The main Rovers fans will be in the Riverside stand I think for that, wioth Bohs at one end of the opposaite stand.
Find a part of the ground where the more quiet folk are, maybe the lego stand behind the goal.
There would be no problems there.
If there are any punch ups it will be outside the gound but Bohs will probably be kept back for a few mins so you will be ok.

Ye pay in at the gate BB, but try get there early enough cause there is always the last minute rush and there should be a decentg crowd at it.
Remember, there are parts of the ground that will be family friendly so just look out for them, enjoy

gerk!
just settling back after a rough month in april. was unable to get along to rovers/bohs - overnight flights on the thursday night so did'nt get in until 8am the morning of the match and jet lag got the better of the young one!!). I was fortunate to take in 2 bray games (2 wins may I add against Finn Harps and Derry, so she settled for Derry and Bray - which was the coldest fcuking night i was ever at a game!). I was also lucky to take in Man Utd and Roma at Old trafford, so 3 games, 3 wins. no complaints.
Cheers for now!
