DylanScotland2203 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Anybody want to take a guess and how many away points will be required for this game, I know it's a bit far in advance just so I could maybe start booking travel etc, I will be on 2 points prior to this match so what do you reckon my chances will be?

John_B81 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Depends on the allocation that we get but I'd guess they'll give us the minimum 5% (2,500) to start with then they might give us more if they don't sell out. Game is on a Saturday in the middle of June and it's an easy trip to make so there's gonna be loads of interest. Think you will struggle (like myself) to get one with 2 points.

Shotts56 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I suspect a lot of points will be needed for this one, probably 5/6 plus. Ireland asked for 10,000 tickets for Celtic Park and were told no, they were only getting the minimum 5%. All such a ludicrous decision means is that we will only get 5% over in Dublin now, i.e. in the region of 2,500. If we had played ball and given them more tickets, it would certainly have been reciprocated. Instead, the SFA screw us over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdisaaccie Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Should still have 6 points or more (barring a glut of away friendlies beforehand) so should be OK for Ireland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true then it's absolutely ridiculous given we have no chance of selling out the home end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'll have to get my mates to pretend they're going to this one so I can get their ticket. It pays to know loyal supporters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If this is true then it's absolutely ridiculous given we have no chance of selling out the home end. I'm not convinced there is no chance mate. Good results in the games prior will see this one possibly sell out IMO. I actually think demand for this one won't be far off that of Germany as I think most folk see them as our biggest rivals for second place. I'm torn as well. Ireland have a good away support who do make a racket so giving them any extra advantage would be daft. That said I also travel to away games and know what it's like to be scrambling for a ticket and there is no question Scottish fans will be disappointed here. I think it's safe to say there will be a good few away fans locked out at both venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Five upwards at a guess would guarantee an Ireland ticket. Ballot at four? Only an estimate from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langtonian Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 why should the SFA give the Irish more tickets just so we get more from them for the game in Dublin?it surely better we get as many scots in the ground as possible to back the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts56 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Don't we want as many Scots as possible in the stadium in Dublin too ? The three points there aren't worth any less than the three points at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we'll sell out our Dublin allocation but not our Glasgow one. never said we,d sell it out but doesn't,t mean we have to give them 10k tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre logic to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham of Montrose Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'd imagine it depends what that wee stand behind the goal holds, that seems to be allocated to away fans. Anyone any idea how many that holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoonTheSlope Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 With the match taking place mid June I wouldn't be surprised if there's a friendly somewhere between the end off the season and the ROI match. Training camps are all well and good but the best part off a month with no game time is another matter. Just a guess mind you but if that is the case I'd hope they could arrange and announce it well in advanced. I'll be on 5 after Poland so would be quietly confident off a Dublin ticket but any away friendlys inbetween would almost see me scunnered for a ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgypie Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) The North stand where away fans are housed holds 3k. If we get a part of the East stand like last time we could well be looking at 4-5k tickets seeing everyone down to 4/3 points is ok for a ticket. Going by seating plans at Parkhead, most of the Lisbon LIons stand has been blanked out for away fans, but obviously there will be a buffer zione. But that will still give Ireland like 5.5-6k tickets at Parkhead I'd estimate.....so hopefully SSC have come to some sort of deal with them for our allocation over there too.

It was reported a while back that ROI were getting 3200 tickets for Parkhead ie 5% 5500 had applied for tickets. So cant see us getting more than 5% at Aviva.

So hopefully we'll get something similar. http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/european-championships/diehards-celebrate-georgia-win-in-euro-2016-qualifier-30569225.html Edited September 24, 2014 by Dodgypie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on me attending home competitive games in the new lansdowne Rd since it was built - I expect Scotland to get a part of the lower east stand at the north end of the stadium as well as the north stand - which will give ye guys btwn 4.5-5k tickets easily German ,Swedish and Austria fans were housed in the east lower in our last campaign , along with Russian fans in the campaign before that - if the T.A are bringing a big group then i fully expect the F.A.I to allocate ye the same stadium sections Edited September 24, 2014 by Green_Tide_Rising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
