20 quid into Dalymount

**dong** · 04/08/2009, 12:13 PM

I know I'll be accused of not taking a beating but how can Bohs justify 20 quid to get into last night's game. I paid 15 at the last league game there!
Talk about encouraging a crowd to stay away. What's so good about the facilities? Away women fans still had to use the stinking portaloos for God's sake. Not good enough. I had two with me who hadn't been to a game in years and it was embarrassing to try and justify the price. I would be fairly sure they won't be back and mainly due to price because they enjoyed the game.
I take it every other team is just 15 euros. Remember you can get into a premier league game for 45 euros and a cheap Ryan air flight. Any wonder there was such a poor turnout. It's really taking the mickey.

Hasn't it been 20 all season into the Jodi, and 15 into the Connaught St?

I agree though, 20 is too steep

They divide their games into category A and B I think. A would be 20 into the jodi and B would be 15. Im guessing Sligo were category B for the league match and paid 15 whereas in your case cork would have been category A and you would pay 20. Bohs must have bumped the sligo game up to 20 for the jodi because it was a cup semi. Not the brightest idea I wouldnt think.

As the match went to exta time Bohemians would like to ask all fans to forward €6.67 to Dalymount Park to cover the exta-time.

are prices not set for these games by the FAI?

Myself and alot of other Bohs fans agree that €20 is too much into Dalyer

€20 is too much into any LoI game but you are only posting this because you are sore after the game me thinks.

Don't worry it will be a while before Sligo need worry about a semi final again

On foot of complaints from many Bohs fans over the 20 euro charge the board brought in the Cat A and B scheme as outlined by several posters. I think most agree that 20 euro is a lot for LOI but obviously not for Liverpool 3rd team
