PIC: Bosnia supporters are taking over the heart of Dublin ahead of tonight’s game

The atmosphere is going to be electric

They are here in numbers.

The Aviva is a sell out for tonight’s second leg of the Euro 2016 play off between Bosnia and Ireland, and it seems that plenty of opposition fans have made their way to Dublin for the game.

The stadium in Zenica only accommodated 880 Irish fans on Friday night to witness Robbie Brady’s brilliant goal, while the home crowd of over 11,000 got to witness Edin Dzeko strike back for the Bosnians.

It’s all very nicely set up for tonight’s kick-off and despite some away tickets becoming available this afternoon in the away end, it seems that there is some serious craic being had by our visitors this afternoon.

And it’s not just in Temple Bar they’ve been spotted either as some of them started drinking earlier.

And some perhaps are just carrying on drinking from last night.
