BOHEMIANS have announced that home section tickets for the Dublin derby against Shamrock Rovers at Dalymount Park are sold out.

The rivals clash on the opening night of the SSE Airtricity League 2018 season on Friday, February 16.

And Bohs have sold out the Jodi Stand - where home fans sit at Dalymount - two weeks in advance.

The news was revealed on the Phibsborough club's Twitter account this evening.

The statement read: "We're delighted to confirm that the SOLD OUT signs for the Jodi Stand have gone up in Dalymount Lane this evening - two weeks ahead of #Bohs' SSE Airtricity League opener against Shamrock Rovers.

"Thank you for your support. See you all on February 16.

"No more tickets for the home end will go on sale. Rovers fans must purchase their tickets for the Des Kelly Stand directly from Tallaght Stadium."

Stephen Bradley's men had the upper-hand on their rivals last year with three wins in four meetings between the sides.

But there was little between them as Bohs won the last meeting 2-1 at Tallaght Stadium - with Rovers winning a League Cup clash 3-1 at the same venue last April.
