Bohemian F.C. (Irish: An Cumann Peile Bóithéimeach) is an Irish soccer club playing in the Football League of Ireland. The club, founded in 1890 are a founding member of the league, plays its home matches at Dalymount Park stadium in the Dublin neighbourhood of Phibsboro. Its nicknames are 'Bohs' and 'The Gypsies'. Its colours are red and black.
The club announced Sean Connor as manager on 17th November, 2006.
Previous Home Grounds
Bohemians first proper home ground was on the Polo Ground in Phoenix Park. Goal posts and other equipment were kept at Gate Lodge on North Circular Road (Dublin) They remained there until the 1893/94 season when they obtained a private ground on Jones Road now known as Croke Park, the headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association. The space then took in the ground now occupied by the Belvedere Rugby Football Club, and for the first time it was possible for the club to build up some sort of finances, since a charge for admission was made at all important home matches.
They moved to a new home at Whitehall, Glasnevin in time for the start of the 1895/96 season but in those days, the area was out of the way and without public transport so the Bohemian committee continued to look for a new home ground. Their search came to an end when they moved to Dalymount Park which was officially opened on September 7 1901.
New Stadium
In 2006 the club's members decided to sell Dalymount Park for development in a €60,000,000 deal which will instantly put the club in unprecedented financial wealth in Irish sporting terms. The deal includes the development of a new 10,000 seater stadium in Harristown, near Dublin Airport.
