Or we hold on to our tickets and turn up on the day…?
Id imagine the T's & C's when you purchase the ticket have conditions about being subject to change and being void/refunded if the match is cancelled. So should anything arise now that would change the participants of the game the tickets will be refunded automatically. We should have heard something at this stage though and with Bohs having had to make a presentation as part of the hearing they would have been involved throughout so I think it looks like Rovers appeal has been thrown out or some other agreement reached.

Don’t mention finals…
Bohs got the go ahead to play the Kerry game. Rovers have the right to appeal this decision too though
Unsurprisingly, has already sold out.
The away end in Mounthawk will be a disaster for Bohs fans, it's totally flat so if you're smaller than the person in front of you you've no chance of seeing the game.
Main problem with Mounthawk Park is one entrance which is basically 2 doors. End of game then becomes a bottleneck. So can't see capacity being increased even though you probaby could bring it up to 2k using grass banks and supporters 5 deep. Nice junior ground but games like this show its flaws.
There are some permanently closed "gates" leading on to a country road at the side/back of the second pitch to the right, so maybe long term that can be turned in to a second entrance/exit, but it's definitely not a setup that will suit expansion unless the club was moved up to the main Tralee Dynamos entrance and used that side of the complex instead. There's a lot of land to work with but the whole thing needs to be taken apart and redesigned in the long term you'd think.
Wouldn't be permitted to use grass banks anyway, but there's scope for terracing the far end of the main stand in Mounthawk Park. 3-4 steps of concrete along that half of the pitch would add another 300-400 onto capacity easily.
While attendances have dropped to 400 or so, there's no need to be increasing capacity, but definitely it'll never be more than a fine junior ground in it's current guise.
The away area has been discussed here before but it's easily the worst in the entire LOI.
