DALYMOUNT PARK, HOME of Bohemian FC, is set for expanded capacity as part of its proposed redevelopment.
Bohs shared a significant update today after Dublin City Council announced that it has chosen a final design for the redevelopment, which costs €40 million and will be completed in March 2026.
The whole stadium must be demolished, with a four-sided stadium development to follow. There will be a new capacity figure of 7,880 (5,880 seats and 2,000 terracing), north/south pitch reorientation — it’s currently east/west — with construction to be completed in March ’26.
“Bohemian FC is delighted that the design is now finally chosen and that we have been successful in working with Dublin City Council to both reduce costs to an achievable level, and to increase the capacity by 33% from the previously-planned level of 6,000,” a club statement reads.

“The level of support for the Dalymount project remains unanimous across all major parties and there is a widespread recognition of the importance of it for Bohemian FC, for Dublin 7 and for the wider inner-city and north Dublin communities.
“The stadium has been at the heart of these sporting and geographical communities since 1901 and will continue to be so into the distant future.”
Plans look decent and 8,000 is much better than 6,000 but Dalymount / Tolka redevelopment announcements are a bit plans for a Dublin Metro. Will believe it when spades are in the ground
Hope it happens
Looks like Pat’s are the only Dublin team who own their ground
@Michael Graham: and also that they’ve never been relegated as they boast about. They should get a nice trophy made up for themselves and engrave those two facts onto it and put it in a little glass box in their boardroom, seeing as they’ve more or less won nothing in their history.
@Kevin: I bet what you know about Pat’s history could be written on the back of a match box .I would like to know what you call history
@Kevin: saucer of milk for table 3
@Kevin: hahahaha…. you probably wouldn’t know where Milltown is, let alone the history of other league of Ireland clubs. But in fairness, you do know bolloxology!!!
@Michael Graham: Pats history COULD be written on the back of a matchbox in fairness.
@Kevin: Rovers history is they sold their ground and spent years playing in in other teams ground including Pat’s
@Michael Graham: we did. 30 years after our ground was sold from under us. Now we’re a fan owned club playing in the best stadium in the league. And even with us having no home for that period we’re still miles ahead of everyone else with titles and cups.
@Kevin: the fan owned club playing on a county council pitch
@Kevin: Fan owned me arse, if it wasn’t for Desmond you’d be broke.
@Michael Graham: Forgetting Pat’s stint in harold cross are we?
@Kevin: 8 league titles, 4 FAI Cups and 4 League Cups is “nothing”?
Bizarre train of thought.
