An EGM of Bohemian Football Club will take place tonight at which members will vote on a proposal to move to a purpose-built stadium on a green field site beside the M50 toll bridge.

Under the constitution of the Bohemians Football Club, a three-quarters majority vote is required to invoke the change of rule to enable the club to relocate from their current Dalymount Park home.

Results of the vote will be announced at a press conference this evening.

Bohemians have played at Dalymount Park since it was opened in 1901.

Meanwhile, Shelbourne have revealed that the much mooted ground-share with Bohemians could only ever go ahead if the ground in question is Dalymount Park.

Shelbourne have been linked with a groundshare in a redeveloped Dalymount Park and while that is still a possibility, Shels chief executive Ollie Byrne has ruled out any move to the proposed new stadium next to the M50 toll bridge.

"Dalymount is the only option for Shelbourne in a ground-sharing arrangement," the Shelbourne majority shareholder told RTÉ Aertel.
