H
ere we go again, another season has begun and with it the
excitement and promise of what has yet to come for Bohemians
this campaign.
Unfortunately we begin this season as we ended the last, watching from
home once more as our beloved Bohs take to the Dalymount field. While
I personally believe we shall see crowds trickle back once the vaccination
process has ended (hopefully this year...), it’s scant consolation for trying
to build up the same urge of excitement at kick off as would normally be
automatic where we in Dalymount. The banter, the laughs, the slagging and Premier Division
hand-shaking with named and nameless friends and acquaintances is still 1923/24, 1927/28,

We are looking for progression not

not always straightforward. Only by remaining
true to our core values of hard work, honesty,
accountability, integrity and respect can we
continue to build a club which across all areas,

but ultimately we were extremely fortunate
to be in the privileged position to play football.
The decision by the board and, by extension,
the members of the football club to honour
players contracts during lockdown with so
much uncertainty, was a powerful statement
giving us all another incentive to represent the
club as best we could on the pitch.
