Donegal-lad Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I was talking to a Garda (police) mate last night who is assigned to the POU (Public Order Unit) and they are very concerned about the idea of Scots buying duo tickets for the Scotland and England games and the tickets being passed onto English fans especially after the last time they were in Dublin. They want all English fans behind the goal and no where else and all Garda leave has been cancelled that weekend. The FAI have been contacted about this situation it seems. Just a heads up... They will not want any English fans in the hone end for the game in June. After their last visit over here (1995) there will be high level of security around the game. The game has a 1pm kickoff to avoid fans being on the drink hours before kickoff.Would ask any scots who buy the duo tickets to try sell the English ticket on the Ireland football forum ybig.ie and also there is a number of Facebook groups for irish fans. Would say you be able to sell tickets on these no bother know always people on the Republic of Ireland fans forum (Facebook page) looking for tickets Edit: should of said be absolutely no bother with Scottish fans being in the home end at the following weekends game Edited March 25, 2015 by Donegal-lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washboarder Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 uk law legislates that resale of football tickets is illegal and cannot be resold under the criminal justice and public order act 1994, up to a £5000 fine could be imposed on vendor, just be careful lads n lassies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liammccarthy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Follow up from my Garda mate is they will be asking in the event of any trouble with England fans not in their assigned area of the stadium, they would be seeking the information for the seat holder from ticketmaster as to who the seats were originally sold to. The tickets will be for the same seat at both games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washboarder Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 no too sure bout irish law don't think it would be a prob selling to home fans in the home end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shavin Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I asked Abbey Travel what block the tickets were in and do they post them, reply below, the bit about the seating sounds promising. We will contact you when we receive the tickets in our office normally 2 weeks prior to the game. We try and avoid posting match tickets and reccommend that they are collected from our city centre office. The blocks have not been assigned yet and we must wait on the FAI to decide if they are going to seat all the Scottish fans together before we will know Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentina78 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 On the way home from Hampden tonight I listened to the first half of Ireland v Poland on RTE Internet radio. The commentator said he reckoned there were approx 12,000 Polish fans in the stadium tonight and as far as I know their official allocation from the FAI was 3200 the same as we've been allocated.

HaggisNeepsNTatties Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Was at the game, couldn't estimate a figure but 12000 must be quite close. Huge amounts of Poles in the sections immediately next to official away section and others spread throughout the ground. And anyone worrying about getting in with kilts and tops, needn't bother, there won't be any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
