Bohemians

Make The Case

Adopting Bohemians means Republic of Ireland Premier Division results start mattering to you, a club going since 1890. Not a novelty, a habit.

• Nothing won, everything to play for

  Trophyless, so far. That is the pitch: be there before the story turns.

• Close to the pitch

  Dalymount Park holds about 4,500. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.

• The calendar you inherit

  Following Republic of Ireland Premier Division means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Republic of Ireland becomes part of your week.

• Deep roots

  Founded in 1890, Bohemians were playing organised football before floodlights, substitutes or televised highlights existed. You are adopting 136 years of accumulated grudges.
