Robert Mcdermott Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Venue for remaining Home European Qualifiers Following speculation that matches may be moved to venues in London, the GFA would like to confirm that the European Qualifiers against Germany (13th June 2015), the Republic of Ireland (4th September 2015) and Scotland (11th October 2015) will take place at the Estadio do Algarve in Faro/Loule, Portugal. The two issues of concern regarding the continued use of the Estadio do Algarve have now been resolved to the GFAs satisfaction. Concerns over VAT and other tax issues have been resolved following discussions with the Portuguese FA, Portuguese tax authorities and UEFA. Concerns over security arrangements have also been resolved after the GFA contracted a new security company to deal with security at the stadium on match-days. The new company performed satisfactorily during the recent match versus Georgia and the feedback received by the GFA from our supporters was very positive in that respect. Furthermore, the GFA had also received representations from the German, Irish and Scottish FAs on behalf of German, Irish and Scottish fans who had already booked flights and made accommodation arrangements in Portugal. The GFA will now provide those FAs with assurances that the matches will take place in Portugal. Given all these considerations, the GFA is content to continue using the Estadio do Algarve as our home stadium, until such time as there is a stadium in Gibraltar which meets with UEFAs approval for the hosting of competitive international matches.

fringo Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Does any 1 know how many tickets we will get for this 1... Thinking of taking my 6 yr old to first away game.... From what I recall the stadium holds about 30k and the population of Gib is 6.5k. It wouldn't surprise me if we got close to 20k tickets but that's just a wild guess.

Not sure where I got that figure from. Never checked but I was sure I'd seen it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottincarlisle Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Does any 1 know how many tickets we will get for this 1... Thinking of taking my 6 yr old to first away game.... Remember its an away game so officially we are only entitled to 5% minimum of stadium capacity. However I would say all SSC members will get a ticket.

Paul, you must be on enough points to get an SSC ticket so take the wee man and I'm sure you'll pick a ticket up over there for him or pick up 2 "home end " tickets. Let me know when your back and we'll have a few beers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
