Bohemians were founded on 6 September 1890 at the gate lodge leading onto the North Circular Road in the Phoenix Park. A commemorative brass award this. It was a establish penis of the League of Ireland in 1921, and it is one of merely two clubs to have been members of the League of Ireland since its origin ( the other being Shelbourne ), and it is the merely golf club to have been ever-present in the top division of the league. In its first season it finished second in the league, fair two points behind St. James Gate. The club won its first league title in 1924. In 1928 the clubhouse won its second league title and completed a double that season by winning its beginning FAI Cup besides. The club was one of the major forces in the early years of the league, going on to win another three league titles and another FAI Cup in the adjacent eight seasons. After this achiever the clubhouse began to struggle, frequently finishing at the foot of the league and rarely mounting a title challenge, largely because of an inability to attract or keep lead players due to its nonindulgent amateurish status, which had been a fundamental part of the clubhouse since its formation. The golf club went 34 seasons without winning a major trophy. In 1969 the club ended its amateurish status, and the foremost player to sign professional terms was Tony O’Connell, who signed on 11 March 1969. The clubhouse then went on to win two league titles, two FAI Cups and two league cups in the 1970s, more trophies than any early clubhouse that decade. In 1970 the club entered european rival for the first time where it was beaten in the first base qualifying round of the european Cup Winners ‘ Cup ( see below ). The club went through another trophy-less enchantment after its 1979 league cup victory, which was not broken until the club won its one-fifth FAI Cup in 1992. It was not until 2001 that it regained the league entitle, besides winning the FAI Cup that season to complete its second doubling. After adding another league title in 2003, Bohemians triumphed once again in 2008, under Pat Fenlon, winning the double of both the league for the tenth clock with four league games still to play, [ 2 ] and the FAI cup in a penalty shoot-out. [ 3 ] In September 2009, Bohemians claimed the League Cup for the third base fourth dimension in the club ‘s history with a 3–1 succeed over Waterford United in the final. [ 4 ] On 6 November 2009, Bohemians retained the deed after a 1–1 string against Bray Wanderers. [ 5 ] They were already assured of the league title before the final round of matches as they held a three-point run and 16-goal remainder advantage over their nearest rivals Shamrock Rovers. Captain Owen Heary collected the Premier Division trophy for the club ‘s first back-to-back league winnings. [ 6 ] Bohs narrowly missed out on a hat trick of league titles on goal difference in 2010 in a season which besides seen them suffer european disappointment at the hands of Welsh club TNS .

Stadiums [edit ]

Bohemians ‘ first permanent family background 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 earth on Jones Road now known as Croke Park, the headquarter of the Gaelic Athletic Association. The quad then took in the ground previously occupied by the Old Belvedere playing pitches and now occupied by the Cusack Stand. For the first time it was possible for the club to build up some classify of finances, since a charge for admission was made at all important home matches .
One of the entrances to Dalymount Park, 2012 They moved to a newfangled home plate at Whitehall Farm, Glasnevin, in time for the begin of the 1895–96 season but in those days, the area was out of the means and without populace transportation so the bohemian committee continued to look for a new base ground. Their search came to an conclusion when they moved to Dalymount Park which was formally opened on 7 September 1901. In 2006 the club ‘s members decided to sell Dalymount Park to developer Liam Carroll in a report €65,000,000 bargain, although then board members refused to allow members to see the details of the deal. The deal included the development of a new 10,000-seater stadium in Harristown near Dublin Airport. [ 7 ] On 7 November 2008, Bohemians lost a court case versus Albion Ltd, when it was discovered that the board, led by Gerry Cuffe and Gerry Conway, had attempted to re-sell separate of the ground which the club no longer owned, which has had the effect of putting the move on hold long adequate for the property commercialize to crumble and the deal to be all but dead. [ 8 ] In March 2015 Dublin City Council announced that it would purchase Dalymount park. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] The Council completed the leverage in June 2015 for €3.8million. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] In February 2016 the Council published plans to demolish and rebuild Dalymount on a phase basis at a cost of €20 million. [ 13 ] It is likely that Bohemians would need to play elsewhere during renovation. [ 14 ]
