Other than home internationals, all qualifiers used to be midweek and attendances were much larger than they are now.

I heard about that too. Big brave Rab attacking lassies.

"May have been...." Phew I thought you were ITK and dealing with facts......

Regardless of how our allocation has come about, can't we just all be happy that we'll once again have a big travelling support, hopefully cheering us on to second place?

Remember unsold tickets can always be returned. They gave less tickets to England than what we're getting. They got less than 1800. Slovenia need to beat England to have any chance and hope we beat Slovakia.

No. The SSC took their initial 1230 and said they'd take more. Now that Slovenia are outsiders, we've been offered more and taken them. However you keep thinking what you want to believe. You almost seem upset that our allocation has been doubled.

I'd think all away FAs would say not to go in the home end. They can only be responsible for fans that they have sold tickets to.

Doesn't say if a match ticket is required: https://englandsupporters.thefa.com/b/news/archive/2016/10/05/slovenia-v-england-free-shuttle-bus-information No more googling for me tonight. I feel quite dirty after spending so long looking at EFA sites!

England did get just under 1800 tickets. £35 each. Sections 27, 28 and 29 in the ground. https://englandsupporters.thefa.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-00-05/2311.Slovenia-v-England-Travel-Guide.pdf If that link doesn't work you'll find it here https://englandsupporters.thefa.com/b/news/archive/2016/10/04/slovenia-v-england-2016-travel-guide Also found that Slovenia run free buses to the stadium.

They only have to supply us 800 so we're getting more than 5% which I'm led to believe is the unofficial agreement in this group. As things stand we're getting more than that. If they're in contention then why would they want to give us more? Imagine if the boot was on the other foot? I can't see us getting more but I'd expect the SFA to have at least asked.

I bought 546 to 552 half an hour ago.

Lithuania points added. Crisis averted. Roll on Slovenia.

I can't remember this happening before and we must've had similar timescales. Even if they could identify the ones likely to be affected and hold back that many tickets and make them pickup. Or go ahead with the sale and distribution of 10,9 and maybe 8 pointers and make the rest 100% pickup once points have been added. There needs to be a better solution.

A good solution to this would be to put the tickets on sale in two weeks once the Lithuania points have been added and make it 100% pickup in Ljubljana.

They've always claimed to represent their members. Maybe you know different?

What cushy privileges do they get?

The "split" was to allow TACC to chase the "black tie pound" rather than the cash in buckets that TASA were more about traditionally. Both do great work and aren't in competition as such.

They still take Elvis CDs and Levi's 501 jeans?

If you're talking about the sporran guide then I believe it should be getting pushed out in the next day or so.

Away tickets go on sale next Monday, assuming those are the sales you're referring to.

England got an allocation of 850 for that stadium in 2015. https://englandsupporters.thefa.com/b/news/archive/2015/08/14/lithuania-ticket-update-amp-ballot-details

That'd be extremely dangerous to overload a stand just because away fans have tickets for the home end. Keep in mind that England fans caused bother in the home ends there in 2015 so expect better policing.
