Texas Pete Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 6 hours ago, Kirk said: Looks like bigger games may be at Seville so hopefully that applys to us I doubt it as it didn’t last time when we played in Alicante. We weren’t a pot 2 team then right enough but we still won’t be a big draw. I think the ground in Alicante holds 32,000 and there was only around 24,000 at the game in 2011. Wherever the game is played I hope the SFA secure at least 10% of the capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although don't think anyone struggled for tickets in Alicante either. That stadium was a bit of a dump too. Remember standing up in the corner with a load of others and the "stairs" were some sort of interesting thrown together slantey bits of cement basically.

We are a lot better but your average Spanish supporter either won’t know that or won’t care. As much as we love Scotland we are not a big draw and qualifiers aren’t that attractive in general to some countries that qualify for every tournament. Hopefully the game will be at a half decent stadium with a capacity of at least 50,000 but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was another 30,000 stadium. I didn’t go to Alicante last time but from what you’ve said I hope it’s not there as I’ll be going this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ullevall was being renovated at the time. Our game next year will definitely be in Oslo unless they are renovating again or of something else unusual happens.

dan cake Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I had it in my mind we played in Alicante because Hercules had won the 2nd Div and our game would give them a few extra Euros to help them attempt to stay up, could be utter shite tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their last 6 home matches have all been played in Larnaca; including matches against Croatia, Northern Ireland and Greece. Also a new stadium in limassol is under construction that will probably be open by our game. Apparently costs have gone up to 35 million so Cyprus may want to make use of that ground at every opportunity. Capacity is 11,000 I think.

I see they've laid the turf, so this new stadium probably makes it a choice from three... Limassol, Larnaca or Nicosia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I was up in one of those corners, think the stadium was modernised for the 1982 WC. I seem to remember buying a spare home end ticket & going to a ATM to get it printed off.

Used to be 5% for Euro qualifiers and 10% for World Cup qualifiers (or could have been the other way round). I think UEFA regulations just state ‘a reasonable amount’ of tickets should be made available to away associations now. Not sure what that means exactly but I think the generally accepted minimum is 5% with room for negotiation if both countries want more than that.

wanderer Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Olso booked via Gdansk and back direct to Edinburgh next morning, and for Cyprus booked a all inclusive break for the family for 5 days in Paphos via Gatwick. Georgia, looks like with Kyiv no longer a mid-point option, having to really look around. Word of warning though, speaking to a few guys I met out there last time, there is redevelopment work to happen at the Dinamo Stadium in Tbilisi, and with it being November (they played Sweden there last November), do not rule out Batumi, which is something you must really take in to account based on how many of the flights out of Tbilisi are at silly o'clock in the morning.

adamntg Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Anyone got any wisdom about likelihood of tickets for Norway game for 11/12 points. Sounds a bit dodgy to me - how about home end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something at the back of my mind says that for the Burley game years ago they released more to the SFA pretty late in the day for the game and opened up more sections.
