No me either, although there was an option put to Home Farm to develop their ground with the help of the FAI/Shels, which would then to used for underage internationals and they turned it down. We would have been sorted with a nice 4/5,000 seater and they declined it instead to keep their ground as it is!
I think the "groundsharing" suggestion you are referring to was Ollie Byrnes plan to buy half of Dalymount for 2 million while there was an offer from Danninger for 60 million to buy the ground ? Do you really need to have it explained why Bohs membership rejected Ollies offer ? (although an explanation on how we f****** up the Danninger deal would be appreciated :confused:)Quote:

That doesn't get old and almost certainly never will.Quote:

There was an initial proposal to move to Castleknock - back of carpernterstown etc which then made way for the Harristown proposal.Quote:

I have to say I agree with comments of no sympathy for Fenlon. It's not the first time he's been involved like this.
What a vague thing to say.Quote:

People need to get real.
Fenlon does not set the budget and if he did set the budget then the Board have alot to answer for.Quote:

Also Fenlon is the second most successfull manager in LOI history, great manager and a gent.
Hearing rumours that the vultures who were rumbled by the right thinking members at Bohs in this thread last march are going to now get what they wanted - Dalymount on the cheap. A shame the true Bohs fans couldn't stop these individuals and their friends being the ones in power at Dalymount making insane decisions on budgets etc. The ordinary members and fans at Bohs just woke up a few years too late to the reality of what was going on at their club.
From a personal point of view I hope they don't cease to exist but a homeless 5-10 year sentence in the first division before coming back to the premier in a new home would be a suitable punishment.
How is this going to play out - what is the event(s) that will bring it to a head?
Or the limerick way, 27 years with no home and 18 years out of the top flight.Quote:

What short memories some on here have :rolleyes:
Don't forget misuse of umbrellas.
If Bohs get the boot to the first Division,who replaces them,1.the beaten team in promotion play-off(Galway)or 2.next team in first div.ie Limerick
We're first in line for it (if we get a Premier license).Quote:
