"The Irish Independent reported last month that the Gypsies were considering a repeat of last February when they moved their first league fixture to Dublin 4; the meeting with Shamrock Rovers attracted an all-time record crowd of 33,208 and earned Bohs in the region of €250,000."
Bohemians will return to the Aviva Stadium on the opening weekend of the 2026 League of Ireland season for a Dublin derby with St Patrick's Athletic. The Gypsies considered repeating a venue move to Dublin 4 after moving their first league fixture there in February. The February meeting with Shamrock Rovers attracted an all-time record crowd of 33,208. That match generated approximately €250,000 in revenue for Bohemians. The club is aiming to replicate the financial and attendance benefits of the earlier fixture by staging a high-profile Dublin derby at the national stadium for the 2026 season opener.
