I'm from Ireland. I have lived in Birmingham for nearly 20 years now. It gives me great pleasure to see that Irish football is seeing much bigger crowds, better fans facilities, and an improved standard. The Bohemians stadium, when complete, will be an excellent addition to the city.
Yeah they have started demolition works already as you can see the away end is much smaller the back terrace has been removed, the roof removed and 400 seats removed. 4 months later the Connacht stand which had 2,800 seats closed for the 2011 season and they have started demolition works on this stand. All seats have been removed and they are currently demolishing the concrete structure.
8:27 I'm guessing that, by the end of the night, you'd figured out where all those Gardai were going to. It's been said that the Bohs v Rovers fixture (attendance 3,000-7,000) requires more Gardai than an All-Ireland Final (attendance 82,000).
Just finished watching all your videoes mate, and I have to say... I'm speechless, the quality and passion of your content are out of this world. 10/10 Keep it up
I'm glad YT suggested me this clip. Very interesting and entertaining, also all the things you could do in Dublin. And in the stadium that looks like pure football, as we are missing it in some leagues. We here are looking forward to next Saturday evening, when my club could come back into Bundesliga in front of 62.271 in the stadium at Schalke 04 (:-)
Shelbourne and St Pat's games full of energy too. Some cracking chants too especially Bohs v St Pat's. Bohs chant "Oh Inchicore (oh Inchicore) is full of smack (is full of smack) Oh Inchicore is full of smack. It's full of smack, smack and more smack"😅. The funny thing is St Pats like it so much they chant it themselves at various games 🤣.
Haha, some of the stuff being shouted at the Bohs vs Rovers game was wild 😂 Loved that about Dalymount Park - so intimate, everyone can hear everything. Poor ref & lino got hammered 😂
@@seeyouthen I just had been to a cup fight on local level Wuppertal vs. Essen, both 4th division. 11.743 viewers in the old "Zoostadion". They are big rivals, had better times in the past, but still very loyal fans
@@FootballWeekender Those were irish hares at the airport not rabits and i say irish hare because they are species unique to ireland ,they are on decline but dublin airport is a stronghold for them.
What a contrast the 2023 season is. New manager, 13 players left, 14 new signings. Top of the league after 7 games. Playing Rovers at Dalymount on 7/4/23. So far so good.
It’s been a brilliant turnaround in 12 months, Bohs were so poor in this game last year. Declan Devine has done a great job so far 👏 The new stand for away fans on the Connaught St side looks good too.
And now almost a billion euro earmarked for grassroots football in Ireland.. biggest investment in Irish football ever. This may be a major game changer!
Great video, im from the North East of England, but have been to Bohemians when they played Newcastle United quite a few years ago in a pre season friendly, also been to a few games at the Tallaght stadium, (Shamrock Rovers ).
Thanks Phil! Hopefully I can visit Tallaght and a few others in future. I went to the Newcastle vs Everton game a few months back and made a video, absolutely loved St James’.
Newcastle played St Pats a few years ago,won 2-1 and drank the beer supply of the 3 nearest pubs and that aint an urban myth-no hassle between fans either.
Excellent informative video. Next time take in a Rovers home game and you’ll be sorted for a ticket! Speaks volumes that you show more passion and knowledge about our league than some natives.
@FootballWeekender yes it is in some ways. Closer to working class dublin. Although Phibsborough is being gentrified quickly. House prices are higher than the last years of the Celtic Tiger - 2002 to 2007.
Just subscribed. Glad you enjoyed Dublin and the game. You should think about getting a Shelbourne game in this season, Damien Duff is the manager. If that's not click bait, I don't know what is 😂
Great stuff, the video came up on my timeline. I'm only about 5 miles away from Bohs. If you're ever over again I would recommend taking in a St.Pats Athletic game. And for something to do earlier a kilmainham gaol tour which is just an 11 walk away. Anyways I'm a subscriber after this, Keep it up 👍🏻
Cheers Aidan! Funny you say about Kilmainham Gaol - that was on my to do list but it was fully booked up, was gutted about that as it looks class. I’ll have to come back for a St.Pats game and do the Gaol too.
Great video and I know you're a bigger fan of football, but it's a shame you hadn't time to go down to the 82,000 seater Croke Park.. only 15 mins walk from Phibsboro where Ireland's best sport, GAA, is played. Its far more popular in the country and if I'm honest more entertaining too. Class video tho and hopefully you can return when Dalymount is redeveloped. It was actually the original home of football in Ireland where all international games were played for decades.. incredibly famous pitch!
What is it exactly that makes some people want to come on to a football website and start talking about a completely different sport. I really don’t get it.
@@davidpryle3935 Don't know whether you are irish or not,but sports in ireland operate in a competitve environment and football is no different its not like england or scotland where football reigns supreme.
Look like Hares at the Airport. Dalymount as is is a dump. but it is the most historic soccer ground in Dublin. Boh's really need the redevelopment to push through to have any chance of getting back on terms with Rovers as the main team in Dublin.
Deadly video , it was probably said to you at the game but the opposite stand is closed off to fans as it’s condemned so fans can only put their flags on it . There’s an ongoing plan to have the ground redeveloped
Cheers mate! Yeah the ground and atmosphere is class as it is but if they could get those stands redeveloped the place would be absolutely bouncing. The extra tickets on sale for the derby sold out in 3 minutes so the demand is deffo there!
I follow Bohs on Instagram and they announced a couple weeks before that a limited number of tickets were going on general sale. I managed to get one before it sold out in 3 minutes 🙌
Thanks Marvin! I was actually told in advance that the game would be a sellout and it would be difficult to get a ticket. But I follow Bohemians on Instagram and they announced around 2 weeks before the match that a limited number of tickets would be going on general sale on their website. I managed to get a ticket online as soon as they went on sale - it sold out in 3 minutes!
The Language is usually called irish here not gaelic and when they say gaelic in dublin it refers to gaelic football or gaelic games which includes hurling
They ain’t rabbits hahahaha 🙈 They are Irish Hares and far bigger than a rabbit. They are a common sight around the whole area of Dublin Airport (Áerfort Átha Cliath). Glad your experience was a good one. I’m a Bohs fan but why don’t you get over for a European game and watch Shamrock Rovers take on Gent 🇧🇪 or Molde 🇳🇴
Haha, in my defence we don’t get many rabbits or hares in Manchester mate, I wouldn’t know the difference even if one came over to shake my hand and introduce itself 😂 Yeah absolutely got plans to be back over there again for another game!
@@FootballWeekender Well you can’t pull a rabbit from your arse lad 😅 haha jokes aside I used to live in Preston and used Manchester airport quite a lot. You’ll see plenty of rabbits along the rail tracks from the airport in Manchester, especially along the more sandy soil banks as easier to dig burrows. Look forward to the next video on Irish Footy 👊🏼🇮🇪
check news today for Dublin City Councils long overdue decision to finally help three of Dublin's oldest clubs grounds redevelop their grounds.The unholy history of how it got to this-for once a good decision from the DCC-could easily take up a tome or two,but at last something which should have been done years ago to help BOHEMIAN FC,ST PATRICKS ATHLETIC,AND WELL....SHELBOURNE TOO is being done allbeit at a snails pace in real time.It;s in all the media today and papers like The Evening Herald,Irish Sun,Irish Mirror,Irish Star,Irish Times and irish Independant.Also Mail.
Great video , shame u went to cork match and 0-0 , should have waited till last Friday, cork 6-1 winners, we'll get promoted back to where we belong , who do u support in England? anyway thanks again
Yeah shame about the 0-0, looks like they saved all the goals up for Athlone 😄 I’m a Liverpool season ticket holder - check out my video from the Champions League Final, I speak about it a bit there if you’re interested!
@@FootballWeekender cool , pool fan myself too , will definitely check that out, I remember watching the European cup final of 81 as an 11 yr old , good memories, cheers mate
BOHS hosted a beautyful friendly last week the ladies palestine match. It was so Beautyfull on nakba day a minutes silence and even the President of Ireland mr M D Higgins graced it and signed the ball for the Palestinian nanager after the match you can see ut in HD on the Bohemian Rovers official page
Bohemians have really been terrible! The Bohemians Football Board have utterly failed to maintain Dalymount Park which used to house 40,000 plus fans for Ireland games in the 1950s 1960s up to the mid 1970s. Like Shels, Pat's College and Shams, football in Dublin has only a NICHE following of 2,000 on average for the 5 Dublin clubs. Football is tiny in Dublin and overall in Ireland. Rugby Union is by far the Biggest PROFESSIONAL Sport in Ireland while Gaelic Football and Hurling while big sports are strictly Amateur and Ireland only sports .
Rugby is the only professional sport in ireland and football soccer is only semipro at best ,however rugby at grass roots is by far the weakest sport of the top 4 sports,they are more GAA clubs in cork then Rugby in the whole of ireland.Football is not tiny in dublin its the most popular ,GAA or Rugby wouldn't be bigger than football they get bigger crowds alright but that has a lot to with the population they represent 1.5 for GAA and nearly 3million for leinster rugby whereas dublin is split between 4 clubs and even without PL competition they still would have a much less of a draw than GAA and rugby
next time leave out TEMPLE BAR dont know why everybody thinks they have to go there-it's the centre of over proiced pints,gaudy tourism and is not what Dublin's all about.Then again neither are shamrock roVErs....BFC 1890
Agreed on Temple Bar Gerry, I went there for a token pint and the barman apologised when he told me the price 😂 Tourists seem to enjoy themselves there though so fair enough, it is what it is.
A year to forget for Bohs fans. Poor season all round, sacking of long term manager Keith Long, poor signings. And then there was the death of stadium manager Derek Monaghan. Known to all as Mono. Gone too soon.

Thanks Phil! Hopefully I can visit Tallaght and a few others in future. I went to the Newcastle vs Everton game a few months back and made a video, absolutely loved St James’.

Are you talking about the game in 77? That was a UEFA cup game, I was there.
1998
Excellent informative video. Next time take in a Rovers home game and you’ll be sorted for a ticket!
Speaks volumes that you show more passion and knowledge about our league than some natives.
Cheers Fergus! Loved the match, Rovers support was class - looked absolute bedlam in that away end 😂 I definitely want to come back for another game.
Doyles Corner is a pub that serves food, its about 200 yards from Dalymount. A closer alternative to the Bernard Shaw.
Thanks Alan, looking forward to getting back over there soon. Feel like around Dalymount is proper Dublin 💪
@FootballWeekender yes it is in some ways. Closer to working class dublin. Although Phibsborough is being gentrified quickly. House prices are higher than the last years of the Celtic Tiger - 2002 to 2007.

Cheers! Hoping there’s some more good ones to come 🙌
Great video. Just to let you know it's not Bohemians FC but in actual fact Bohemian FC (Singular). Keep up the impressive work ✅
Bohemian FC sold the stand directly opposite your seat so they didn't actually own that part of the ground (hence why it was empty).
Well that's not factually correct
