Well that’s already been disproven by the post above.
I’d say that Bohs, Pats and Shels would easily bring a lot more fans to Tallaght than Derry. Often more than 1100, as long as they’re offered the tickets.
The Rovers/Bohs match is quite a big event these days. I’d say a few hundred neutrals and day trippers go along to that one, as well as it bringing casual fans out of the woodwork.
Keeping it empty would be a bit weird, especially if games are on tv it would look better to put fans in it.
Dublin City Council gives the Option 3A Dalymount development the green light - on the one hand, a compact, four-stand, almost 8,000 capacity ground would seem ideal for Bohs, but on the other, after all the protracted planning so far, fans will have to wait a further three years for completion:

This is disappointing news to some extent. This is a new stadium and the orientation of the pitch changed estimated €40 million . The last word from Bohs was a renovated Jodi and new stand on the Connaught side with stands or safe terracing behind the goals. Leave the orientation of the pitch capacity approx 10,000 estimate €30 million, but as you say as long as it enables future expansion it will have to do.
Why not just stick a stand in opposite the jodi and have safe terracing on both ends? Is this just the council looking for "community facilities" rather than just sorting the stadium?
Bohs wouldn't even have to move out to do what I'm suggesting.
Sometimes perfection is the enemy of getting things done
What UEFA category will it be? Bit pointless spending that kind of doh if you can't host European games there down the line
I’m fairly underwhelmed by this myself. Keeping the Jodi and the current pitch orientation and rebuilding the other 3 stands to an 9-10k capacity, with one big terrace at des Kelly end (option 2) seemed the best proposal all along. All the talk a few months ago was that a total rebuild was too costly and didn’t make sense. But now they’ve pulled an option 3 out of somewhere, which is basically option 1 with improved capacity.
All this faffing around is getting annoying. Option 2 would have been the cheapest and best option for all.
Am I the only person who thinks €40 million is an insane amount of money for a stadium of this size?
