Should fai go down the presale route again could be a few left without tickets. Something that wouldn't of happened if both FA's worked together back in November

Completely agree, it was a ridiculous decision by the SFA in the first place. Not surprise that the FAI responded in the way they did.

How hard would it have been to reach a mutually agreed 10,000 away tickets each, for example ? Would have saved a lot of supporters a lot of money and hassle. And neither team would have been advantaged or disadvantaged if it was the same at both stadia.

To any normal person that would of been so easy to do but unfortunately we have some clowns in power in the fai and seems the sfa are similar.

To be fair us irish fans got the better end of the deal as could buy home end tickets in Glasgow for £35/£45 where as at the minute the only tickets available to yous are the premium tickets starting at €100 and would imagine there won't be many left at that price.

The only positive thing to say about either fa is at least the sfa allocating their tickets fairly using the points system. Fai have nothing like that in place and large number of us fans that go to majority of games got shafted for the game in Glasgow and then got treated extremely badly when tried to show our anger during a protest at the USA friendly

I heard that starchan fed back he wanted as small an official allocation for the irish at parkhead as possible. To make it as hostile as possible at what was percieved to be a " freindly stadia" for them. We won the match and who knows if this could have helped swig it our way ?

There was loads of irish in the home end but asd they were spread out they could not influence the atmosphere too much. You just have to look at the crowd going MENTAL when Maloney scored.

10,000 away fans???.....what home team would want that big an away section. How much did we give Eire? I get your point about bigger away allocations but they can't give more away tickets just because loads of folk who don't go all of a sudden fancy an easy to get to away game. Lose home advantage by giving too many to the away team

Pretty sure we did that for Holland in the playoffs.

IIRC we have done similar for Germany and Belgium in the past. Pretty sure somthing similar in the 1999 playoff v Them.

It was something to do with sunlight. A high stand was going to block it out so the big glass wall was a compromise.

It's quite an affluent part of Dublin too (despite the regular swarms of sports fans peeing in their gardens). If there was some council estate behind that stand you can be sure there would have been a completed stadium.
