ianp Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I predict and hope there are plenty of empty seats for the game against England. It is the only way the SFA will get the message that the pricing is way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy North Croy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Agreed..............boycott v Gibraltar is best idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnum Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I'm pretty sure that there will be a very poor crowd. Out of our group, who go to all games, home and away, of normally between 10-14, there are only 2 who are going to the England game ! However, I don't support boycotting the Gibraltar game, as we really need a big support to intimidate them and push us to a big victory, as Poland and Ireland have done against them. I know that the goals scored against them are not going to count in goal difference, at the end of the group, but we really need to put down a message about how we can dismantle teams like them, as the others have done. As daft as it may seem, the England game is not the most important, in the large scale of things. It will probably end up being a training exercise, with a lot of call offs and numerous substitutions, and no great atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Don't know if I'd called it a boycott but wouldn't give the SFA that amount of money for a friendly. It's a shameless way of making money off the back of last years friendly and the teams good form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest allyc Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Would have preferred to play them next summer in the off season and on a Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance it'll be a sell-out, you're living in cloud cuckoo land if you think it will be. Say hi the SFA marketing team for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Folk trying to guilt trip folk into not going is selfish too. I got 16 tickets for Ireland for our group and 16 for England. I paid the same price for Wembley last year. I don't particularly agree with the price but I want to attend the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) The qualifier is obviously the bigger, more important game. In fact it's the most important game in years. Right now I'd take a 5-0 doing from England if we get 3 points, I'd even take a doing if we get 1 point on Friday. But, If all goes according to plan and we get 3 points on Friday and turn the English over in a friendly, in 10 years time will you say to yourself or other people "I was there when we beat Ireland" or "I was there the night we beat England" for me it'd probably be the latter along with many other fans I'd imagine and the $FA know this, even though right now I'd sacrifice anything to get 3 points The prices are scandalous but it's the fact we've got a VERY VERY good chance off beating them that I've crumbled and will be going next Tuesday Edited November 10, 2014 by DoonTheSlope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately the Irish game is the important fixture but if we beat England on the Tuesday night how many of those fans that did not turn up will be the same ones goading their English work colleagues the next day and ultimately gutted that they did not turn up to see it... Was never going to miss these two fixtures although I do understand why folk not forking out,..of the group of 10 of us that go only 2 are making the England game and of course the SFA has a lot to answer for but ultimately so does the Tuesday night friendly as ultimately if this was a Saturday afternoon and tickets were the same price it would be much better attended.

Hirta_1976 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Beat Ireland on Friday and folks will be scrambling for tickets to do the double over the English following Tues. Fact. Yes, prices are a disgrace. Edited November 11, 2014 by Hirta_1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
