    Total Joke from Drogheda and it shows the to be a small club with small minds. Obviously bitter that they are going to see Bohs win the title in their backyard.

    Guys - just been on the phone to Bohs - and have an update on the situation about Friday:

    http://www.bohemians.ie/index.php/cl...-announced.htm


    Following representations made by Bohemians to the FAI and eircom League - the club has been contacted this evening by the FAI and advised that the Bohemian FC allocation of 400 tickets will be arriving in Dalymount Park tomorrow morning (Thursday) at 10am.
    The allocation of tickets is broken down as follows:

    300 Adult Tickets (€20 each)
    50 Student Tickets (€7 each)
    50 OAP/Children Tickets (€5 each)

    These will go on sale tomorrow morning (Thursday) to Members only - from 10am.

    Please note that due to the international fixture taking place between the Republic of Ireland and Nottingham Forest at Dalymount Park on Thursday night - exact hours of sale cannot be confirmed at this point in time.

    Any unsold tickets will then go on sale to the General Public from 9am on Friday Morning.
    Kom Igen, FCK...

    stop talking out your arse will you FFS , there was hardly anyone in dalymount and you could have won it last week .Will be surprised if you even sell out your allocation with the pathetic crowds youve been getting for a team running away with the leauge .Mind you your usual hooligan scum will show up for some mayhem

    Bohs fans should all go to Drogheda and watch it in a pub so Drogheda don't get a penny from away tickets and the team should lose on purpose and wait to clinch the title at Dalymount. That'd show them!

    And win it next week against us? Never!

    actually - bring your League Cup down - we'll have the League Trophy by then - we can compare them and exchange tips on polishing them

    and I'm sure that ndrog got out of the wrong side of bed this morning

    Is that a ephemism in Phibsborough?

    Aside from that, Drogheda, reigning champions, aren't going to want to relinquish their title on their home ground to Bohemians, the Fenlon/Kenny factor will ensure Derry (the one team Bohs haven't beaten this season?) will be well up for it at Dalymount. UCD and Cobh are away games against teams that will be fighting for their lives, never to be underestimated...my prediction: Pat to win the title by winning all their remaining mantches as Bohs crumble under the pressure of needing a win against Cork in their final game of the season.



    Maybe.

    With reference to the money for rental of Dalymount, were Drogs given a timescale in which to pay or do they intend holding off payment for as long as possible just?

    A key element in being able to exhange tips on polishing trophies is to actually have experience of the need to polish them - i.e. winning them on a half-regular basis.

    It would therefore be a very one-sided master class from City....

    Maybe.

    Maybe, the only error I can see with it is that Cobh Will beat Pats on Friday night and Pats will then loose the title grip they had!

    We could have helped you there but all the people employed to polish our trophies have long since past away....

    Subject: Important: Drogheda United v Bohemians ticket information

    Tickets for visiting section at United Park sold out

    Dear all,

    With regards to Friday night’s Premier Division match between Drogheda United and Bohemians, please note that all tickets for the Bohemians end of the stadium have been sold. The club received their ticket allocation this morning and all tickets for the visiting section of the stadium have since been sold.

    There will be no tickets available to Bohemians supporters on the night and the FAI are requesting that Bohemians supporters without tickets do not travel to Drogheda as they will not gain access to the stadium.

    I would very much appreciate it if this point could be stressed in any coverage you give the match tomorrow.

    Many thanks,

    Eoghan

    Bohs sold their allocation in an hour. Will be chaos if Gardai and/or drogs stewards try to enforce this.

    Although quite a few of the Bohs hired goons (stewards) will be looking forward to the opportunity to have a fight as they have issued several challenges to Bohs fans in the last couple of months

    Limited sympathy for the Bohs bandwagon jumpers (we all have them) who haven't followed them away all season and expect to rock up and get a ticket.

    I got tickets this morning because i wasn't at work and live near Dalymount - they were all gone by Lunchtime, which means loads of people who - like me - go to every away game will be ticketless - so it's not just 'bandwagon jumpers'

    I'm sure there's more people who go to every, or nearly every, home game than there are tickets available for this. It's a bit harsh to label them bandwagon jumpers.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    PLenty of bandwagon jumper will have tickets too. A mate of mine bought one today.
    He's not a member. He was just off work and decided to chance it. I'd say he goes to about 4/5 Bohs games a year. He just walked up to office and bought 2 tickets (one for his non member brother too). He said he saw a guy buying 6 in front of him
    54,321 sold - wws will never die - ***

    Leaving aside how Bohs distributed them (I have a lot a sympathy for the regulars who miss out), there aren't 400 Bohs fans travelling regularly.

    They are getting 15% of the grounds capacity.

    Fair enough IMO. Similar happened with our game in Cork a few seasons back and we ended up getting between 5 and 10% of the tickets.

    You had something like 70 fans for the league game in Dalymount,and maybe 150 for the cup,your last chance of a trophy.

    Oh and when you won the league last year, last year's averages were Drogheda United 1,919,while we got Bohemians 1,924.

    We had over 100 for the league game. Not much over 100 though - our worst away crowd in Dublin in years - the apathy around the club at the time was very high. Still is really!
    For the cup game we had plenty more than 150 ffs! From memory it could have been anything up to 500, probably around the 400 mark though.

    What am I doing anyway - all crowds in the LOI are crap, and seem to be getting worse if you ask me - its stupid arguing over it really
