View Full Version : LOI In Europe 2021
That's really good news that it's sold out so soon after tickets being available. Hopefully this (hopefully brief) little window where demand will exceed supply can be used by clubs to generate more interest than usual.
I know it's just a pilot for bigger events in the Aviva but I think it reflects well on Bohs and by extension the league how fast the uptake on tickets was.
Given how ad hoc updates to sporting capacities have been changing I wonder is there any chance they'd release another 1000 tickets or so?
Was going to speculate on what the arrangements could be in Bohs made it to the second round but I think I'll park that conversation ountil it's relevant

That's a bit steep isn't it?
Didn’t mind €20 tbh the ticketmaster fee has always been a pain in the neck and just keeps increasing. I’m delighted to be able to watch a game in the Aviva again. It’s a sign of the weird times we have lived through that the idea of going there now seems a complete novelty.

If there werent issues with the whole pandemic stuff would Bohs have looked to use the Aviva? 6k is a lot more than they could have had at home games even without restrictions. Hopefully the FAI have been generous in their rental costs so Bohs quids up!

It is one of the government sanctioned pilot events being run to increase live events to 6k. Don’t know if Bohs would have put their hands up or been approached as an option but, either way, I doubt there was much involved in terms of additional rent.

Big Bill Hulsizer wanted all of our games played in the Aviva.:rolleyes:
Fair play to Bohs for filling the 6000 seats, and so fast as well.

Doesnt really answer the question, makes sense to allow more to get to the game so if covid hadnt been an issue could Bohs opted for an option that allowed a bit over 2k (members) get to the game. Hardly have gone to Tallaght, but with progression and Dalymount limits kicking in how would members have chosen - pricey Aviva or practical Tallaght? Genuinely interested, not a dose of hypothetical stirring.

Bohs tickets on general sale now , picked up two. It’s €20 plus fees so €45.90 total.
Games a sellout. I had tickets in my grasp but cos of the timer and cos I have never being a user of ticketmaster online time ran out of me. This was around 1530. If you hear of any tickets for sale if people cant make it let me know please as I had plans made to attend it as two close pals of mine are bohs fans.

Will pm you if I hear of one going spare.
The shed and Connacht Street stand are being demolished next week, so a euro game had to be in a different venue..
Would have been happy enough to play in Tallagjt, but Boha have good record in Dublin 4.

Is that as a planed first stage in the redevelopment, or has H&S brought that bit forward ?

Not a H & S issue afaik.
Demolition of connacht street side opens up the possibility of a temporary stand .Not sure how feasible that is though, as it is unclear how long it could be used.

Dalymount redevelopment is probably 3 or 4 years away at least.
A temp stand would pay for itself youd imagine in that time frame.

Id imagine you can rent a stand for a few years to save on a substantial investment. It would be pricey but would probably pay for itself. I wouldn’t have a breeze what these things cost though. I’d say one will be needed to place away fans if nothing else.

Dundalks opponents in Covid trouble before the game next week….

Dundalks good luck in Europe in recent years continues apace it seems.
May well only run out when they don't qualify next season.
In terms of the country co-efficient Dundalk getting home and away wins in their first tie will be crucial to racking up some much needed points. If they can't put away a weak and weakened Welsh team the leagues ranking is likely going to come tumbling down to 45+

You just walked into Lansdowne and Croke Park on Saturday. Didn’t even do temperature check.

Temperature check going into Dalymount on Friday.
Went to the Kilmainham on Saturday gig and got the antigen test , multiple checks on the app to check check that your result was normal ( got result within 45 minutes). It would really make sense to do something similar for the Aviva game
From knowing one or two friends with C19 pre Delta, I have been told of five people I know contracting it in recent days, the more testing that goes on at organised events, the better.

It would be surprising if they didn't preform checks on a crowd of 6K with how delicately things are balanced. It would show that there is only a ad hoc approach to these test pilot events by the Minister for Sport, Tourism etc and no set standards in place.

Mahon is the player who is a close contact. He’s tested negative a few times.

Interesting to see Sligo and Bohs playing in (effectively) the same city on Thursday. UEFA rules wouldn't normally allow that, but I guess as there's no away fans allowed, it's less of an issue.
Wonder did Bohs/Sligo save any money pooling together for the same flight?

Looks like members and ST holders bought up the bulk of tickets so would doubt it., although it is Ticketmaster and touts seem to get hold of them.

Now thats just badness :D
On tonight's match i will be off home early to watch it but im not hopeful.
With the exception of the match against Dundalk we have been bang average for the last couple of months and we are up against a strong team.
Be nice to keep it alive at least for the second leg as i will get in as a member but i fear the worst.
Massive if we could do it as it gives us 3 more guaranteed rounds and if we win one of them we get group stages but that just makes it worse that our form has deserted us at the worst moment.

On a separate note, there were wins for Finnish and Maltese sides last night, so the LoI has dropped to 48th in the UEFA standings.
Slightly surprised to see Iceland in 52nd, so should be targetting maybe 0.625 (ie two wins, a draw and a defeat) from Bohs/Sligo.
Some of the countries we're behind - eg the Faroes, the North, Kosovo - have benefitted from being in preliminary rounds that the LoI got a bye through, so while 48th doesn't necessarily reflect our standing in Europe, it is still pretty bad. There is no preliminary round in the Conference League, so we at least shouldn't drop any lower, and the threat of dropping into that preliminary round is gone too.

Would this be via a 'connection' between some Dundalk and Welsh fan types from a umber of years back? I suppose it will be good to have some Dundalk support there but leave the auld covid stuff in Wales!!
No we just got chatting to some there fans via twitter and they had no issues grabbing tickets for us.
Theres a mini bus going over aswell so id imagine we will have a decent crowd at it
