I felt about as welcome in Dalymount as period in the bedroom last night.

Bohs can **** off, the sooner they do a Shels/Drogs/Cork the better for Irish football.

Listen bohs fans cant stand the security either unfortunately not much can be done about it,there is no need to say bohs can **** off though because of that, especially when im sure you have countless other reasons to hate us!

Bet UCD fans think it was great value

and were the stewards friendly ? And what about the toilets ? Did I mention the ref ? etc etc etc yawn. Congrats Waterford. See you in the final (whatever the entry fee).

Hadn't intended the thread to turn into an anti Bohs one!
Indeed we are not used to the Nou Camp. But that wasn't the point I was making. The point is we charge 15 euros into games, your club decides to charge 20 on Monday night which is a rip off for the quality on show at any League of Ireland game. How is Dalymount worth an extra fiver??There's no excuse, just greed as far as I can see. Your half empty ground was testament to that.

Its not fair to blame Bohs fans for their stewards.
But I will certainly be doing my best to avoid Dalymount for as long as I can in the future, 20 euro in and the ignorance of those stewards leaves a bad taste, they are as thick as pig ****, by far the worst stewards I have ever come across in the league.
Its slightly immature to fob off some genuine grievencess's with Dalymount as just "bitter" after the result, believe me we are well used to losing his season.

The next league game we play at home to Sligo will only be €15 in for Sligo fans

It'd only be greed if they were rolling in money. Bohs have obviously decided they won't be getting new fans so are trying to get the most money out of the existing ones.

Cos he's a Dub, like, and we're a Dub team. it's the way it works. Everyone outside the M50 knows that.

* after which he offered us some heroin and a dodgy Aslan CD.

That's probably the most honest post ever posted on a public forum.

i dont visit dalymount due to over-aggressive stewards at previous matches and when i heard it was 20 euro in , that made my mind up . It was not the fiver but the principle of the fiver extra. I would have brought 2 lads so bohs missed out on 45 euro but a rich club can afford that.
I dont go to the brandywell either as the area set aside for visiting supporters is terrible to view a game.
I was in terryland the other evening and that is the standard of facilities(toilets excepting) that other clubs should strive to provide.
i think Sligo provide reasonably good facilities for away supporters, but then again i was never an away supporter in the showgrounds.

**trevy** · 05/08/2009, 12:45 PM

Only 12 euro in as mentioned above at UCD last night which is great value and a great result for the Blues too. Looking forward to the final now.

I think that's right. AFAIK, €15 is the minimum adult price in the premier division and €10 in the first. I think this applies to any cup games you play as well. I don't know why there's a minimum charge, I don't see why a club can't charge less to try to attract a bigger crowd if they want.

€20 into a league cup game seems excessive, especially as the Champions' League game was only €15.

That said, we left people in for free earlier in the year...

Missing your club in a semi final for the sake of a fiver ?

and fans say Bohs are arrogant ?
Lets face it no supporter is going to miss a semi for the sake of a fiver ( and YES all Bohs fans on this thread agree 20 euro is too much but would not miss a semi over it). As mentioned in earlier post the cat A/B plan (which will benefit Sligo) was introduced following complaints by HOME fans.
Our (awful) stewards are just as bad (if not worse) to home fans and complaints of behaviour much worse than that experienced by Sligo fans has been reported to the Board (action awaited but breath not held).
Still think there is a lot of oppurtunism by Sligo fans whinging on here but hey, looking forward to the final so will leave you guys to it

Fantastically, in fact if we get past today, I'd say that could be the reason.....

Just pointing out that those minimum prices dont have to be stuck to, or at least to my knowledge we werent sanctioned for not doing so.

**Dodge** · 05/08/2009, 2:04 PM

I was joking micls. I'm nearly sure I made the same joke earlier too. However

1) How confident are you that Tommy checked with the FAI?
2) How confident are you that FAI knew about it?

We've a wonderful league...

Id be certain he didnt check, I presume the FAi heard about it but you may well be right.
