Bangor have confirmed Wrexham as the venue for their UEFA Cup games this year, having played them at Rhyl before.
Will be interesting to see if Rhyl also shift, but I'd be curious as to why you think such a big crowd could turn-out for the Rhyl-Bohs game Cymro ? Rhyl have averaged less than 500 all season, yet you're talking about possibly over 10 times as many for a game in an unfashionable European tournament against a relatively unknown/unglamorous team from Ireland ? If the local grudge match against Bangor doesn't even get near to 1,000, why do you think Bohs could attract over 7 times as many ?
I'd hope/expect Bohs to take 500+ to the game anyway.

TO TELL THE TRUTH IS REVOLUTIONARY

All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.
They sold out the 1,800 capacity against MyPa last year (capacity was capped as UEFA games are all-seater). I wouldn't be surprised to see maybe 2,500 Rhyl fans turn up if it's a good first leg result. If the occasion is right, they can take a decent following around.Bangor have confirmed Wrexham as the venue for their UEFA Cup games this year, having played them at Rhyl before.

And Wales isn't particularly far from Ireland, so I'd imagine Bohemians would bring a few over. 5,000 is optimistic but not totally unrealistic.
I've had a look on their forum and they seem quietly optimistic, most of them think it is a decent chance to progress but not taking anything for granted. I don't think anyone's really reading much into the Carmarthen vs. Longford game a few years back, but if you offered them a repeat of that I doubt they'd complain!
In any case Bohemians' fans seem a lot more confident. We shall see.

5,000 is very unrealistic. we only average about 1,500 for home games. drop a zero off the end of your estimate and you'll be closer to the mark
For the love of God, don't mention the war!!!
A lot more confident than Longford? No disrespect, but I should hope so!
Unless they changed the rules Uefa do not impose all-seater regulation for Inter Toto games.

League Cup runners-up should have first refusal on the extra UEFA Cup spot. It would be wasted on the sliding scale Premier Division clubs.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
Not league cup winners no?
A UEFA Cup spot for the League Cup winner would make clubs take it more seriously and save the competition from extinction. It'd be a good call. Will Northern Ireland be getting a UEFA Cup spot to replace their Intertoto one too?
No sense in having Derry qualifying every year.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
