Prague council backs purchase of Bohemians 1905 stadium

Prague City Hall has agreed to buy most of the stadium of top flight football club Bohemians 1905. The council has agreed to pay 121.1 million crowns for the Ďolíček stadium in Prague 10 district with the club chipping in around 7.0 million crowns. Several dozen Bohemians fans turned up at the council meeting to back the purchase from the current owner, the company Bohemians Real. The club, nicknamed the Kangaroos after a famous tour of Australia, had feared they might have to quit the stadium at the end of this season. In the past, various real estate development projects have been mooted for the prime Prague site.
