Shels target Dalymount

The most successful side of the last decade Shelbourne have exciting plans for Dalymount Park, soon to be announced as their new home. These plans include two bars, a cr�che, a casino and a tactics suite.

Although the move has yet to be fully approved by Bohs members sources close to both clubs have indicated that a rejection of the proposed ground-share, while inconvenient, would prove little more than a delay as a full contingency plan has been worked out between the boards of both clubs.

According to one source, "both parties are mindful of the Bohs members' reluctance to embrace change, but, with the full support of the FAI's John Delaney, both boards are determined to drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century."

He told us: “John (Delaney) is determined to deliver Genesis in full and on time. Crucial to that is Shelbourne being re-housed at their Northside neighbours venue. He recognises that there are those who will move heaven and earth to stop this going ahead, but they don't know John very well if they think their protest will prevail”

I heard about this plan a while ago. John Delaney and Ollie Byrne have their hearts set on capitalising on the Texas Hold 'Em craze that is gripping the nation. Tough break for the Bohs members but it's too late to put a stop to it now - the (roulette) wheels are already in motion. You can't fight City Hall - FACT!

If they have any sense. IMO both Bohs and Pats have a big fight ahead of them. Those clubs have the most to lose under the new proposals.

I have no doubt that a) Pats will be forced into a groundshare with us and b) Bohs will be shafted over Dalymount and both Bohs and Shels will end up in Abbotstown. Hey presto, the government "sorts out" football in the capital in time for the general election.

Luckily for Bohs they are the only Dublin club sitting on a very valuable asset and they should stick to their guns. Once Ollie and Delaney get their hands on even a tiny bit of Dalymount it's bye bye Bohs and bye bye the "home of Irish football".

Maybe this might put a rocket under Bohs collective lard arses and they might start thinking for themselves. After all, they are a members club that owns its own ground - they hold most if not all the aces. And for a change I'll be rooting for Bohs in this particular battle.

That's why it's imperative that the "Provisional" wing (for want of a better word) of Bohs membership get up off their arses now and get rid of Cuffe and the other wasters. Delaney and Ollie will run rings around the current elected fools in Dalymount.

Believe it or not there's a lot of smart people following Bohs - I know that's counter-intuitive but it's true - now it's up to them to save their club and their ground. Having said all that the FAI won't lose any sleep if Bohs (or Pats) go to the wall and come to think of it neither will I. ;)

I love how you think you know more about our club rules. Its simple no board can enter into this deal without 66% or 75% majority of members. To change that rule they need the same majority. So requiring those numbers will make it very easy if the members choose to say No. The clubs can talk away but unlike Milltown we have the say. Also it may not be a bad deal, 15,000 seats in our own stadium, still owning half it, funded by Shels and the Government. Far better than having an agreement to play 40 games a year somewhere.

I don't think the deal will go through in the end, there are games being played here of that there is no doubt, but too many members are against it. Also both our president and club sec have not run for the new board.

A valuable asset isn't much good if they are not going to exploit it. If Bohs play their cards right they can make a lot of money in a deal with shels.

In fairness- what would Shels care what the rest of the league says? The whole area of gaming licenses and legislation is a mess. The law is totally out of date so in some parts of the country (Bray, Salthill, Bundoran) etc its allowed and then in other places it's not- it depends on the attitude of the local authority. It certainly is a license to print money if it is set up though, although local residents may not be too pleased.

Shels with a casino... it's a novel idea. They gambled last year on winning the League with their transfer policy... so who knows? :D

There is nothing to vote on yet. The members will be asked can the board talk to Shels thats it. When the talks are finished, the deal agreed, then we get a vote.
