1320lichtie Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 truth is none of you have any idea how many Irish fans will be in the home end so until the game you should really all stop talking shite and then moan about it afterwards if it bothers you that much This Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeLuvIrnBru Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 truth is none of you have any idea how many Irish fans will be in the home end so until the game you should really all stop talking shite and then moan about it afterwards if it bothers you that much The only thing that bothers me is the total and utter inadequacy of the SFA. I do not have any issue with any Irish fans in the home end, lets face it we do the same a lot of the time whilst abroad. It is purely the burying their head in the sand approach that the SFA are adopting. No representative, no answers, no clue whatsoever. they are so out of touch it is becoming a total joke!

AFAIK the FAI only asked for extra when we had already put them on general sale, not sure what else they couldve done so wish everybody would stop moaning at them for it even the Irish are blaming Delaney! Have a moan about the ticket prices but doesnt seem fair to moan at them for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doric Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 How many Irish in stadium ? think the Staunton 20 000 was way off mark. They should have got more tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ANDYP Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 A lot less than I thought maybe 7 or 8 thousand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320lichtie Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Barely seen any in the home end, talk of a 'takeover' was exactly how I thought it would be, nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 How did that takeover go?? Ha ha ha. Show you how to di a takeover next June lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Quite a few in LL lower less than expected. We'll take far more to Dublin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Paisley Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'll have a pint of what Staunton was drinking. I agree with around 8000 Irish, maximum. Reckon we will take at least 10,000 over for the return game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkonian Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 In Edinburgh airport waiting to go home to Cork.We were in Jock Stein upper, Tartan Army were immense, bedlam when Maloney scored was incredible. Looking forward to the return in Dublin in June, we surely can't be as bad again. Very poor game was lit up by the goal and the atmosphere. Reckon Irish crowd was 7 or 8 thousand, not bad but expected more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 We will take 15k to Dublin. Saturday game. Easy to get to. Massive stakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 8000 seems an over estimation to me. I would say between 5 and 6k in the ground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flure Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Quite a few Irish Ireland fans around us in Lisbon Lions Upper. Good guys, supported their team, nae hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 5 or 6k I would say. Obviously had their official allocation and then just less than that again dotted about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Sounds about right. There was more Belgium fans at Hampden I bumped into a Belgium fan last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Is it true the SFA wrote anyone with an Irish address who bought a ticket online that if they showed up in colours they would be denied entry? If true how can anyone be sure how many they had? I thought they would be given a decent allocation (10k) with an expectation of one in return. 3k is pretty small for a stadium of that size.

Ideally but as much as the FAI were slatting us for giving them only 3k did they ever offer us extra for the return or were they just expecting us to give them extra? The SFA might of done a deal for extra tickets if the favour was returned, no point giving them 10k if they then give us the minimum as it is a crucial match.

stactuso85 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Saw a few Irish dotted around the home stands here and there. First thing I saw after going through the turnstiles was two guys with green and white scarves on. No 'denied entry' there, which is fair enough. I also spotted a Belgium flag draped over the trackside wall??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Is it true the SFA wrote anyone with an Irish address who bought a ticket online that if they showed up in colours they would be denied entry? If true how can anyone be sure how many they had? Irish lass next to us was wearing no colours. You can spot the probable Irish fans from the lack of celebration at the goal. I would estimate there were around 20 or 30 Irish fans wearing colours in our section. Extrapolate that around the stadium and you're looking at another couple of thousand...

Goozay Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Annnnnnd the games a sell out. As mentioned previously, It was fairly obvious there was going to be a big demand for this game, I'll accept your apologies. Was just short of a sell out, plus quite a few spare tickets available right up till kick off and a good few thousand Ireland fans in the Scotland end. If that's your understanding of "big demand" you should apply for a job with the SFA's marketing team cause they're as clueless at yourself.

Guess they just love the TAMexperience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
