I don't know why but I think this is way off. Spain / Portugal / Gib in March for a few days on a weekend. I reckon there will be 1500/2000 go to this. 

540 going to SC and FD. It's not a whole pile really is it?

Just going back in time, I was pied for Denmark playoff and Scotland away. Yes both times FAI tried to make amends but still not confident I will be sorted straight off. 

Can't see anywhere near 2000 attending this. Even taking into account its the weekend etc the cost of flights etc will put people off and our travelling support isnt that big usually unless the bandwagon is still going e.g. game in vienna  or we playing near home like Cardiff 
the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4

There won't be anywhere near 2,000 travelling. Lack of tickets and sh*te opposition will be a major factor. Also, the interest in the national team is seriously low at the moment. Very few casual/bandwagoners will go to this.

Not a chance of anywhere near 2k, 1k maybe but that'll be it, expensive trip really and short notice on venue will have put a few off. 
I know a few regulars that are skipping this trip and a few first time away travelers who dont have a chance of picking up a ticket. They'll increase numbers but won't have any effect on ticket allocation

Just an opinion and I don't think locals will sell either.

One of the lads who has been to a few aways but hasn't got his tickets off the FAI applied to the away portal in November or December and only got his password on the day the tickets opened so id say its a case of them being very slow instead of them not validating their accounts.

Who knows. Presume he didn't bother applying for this then given he's no record with the fai?
Think he applied for the sake of it since he has flights and all booked. Went to the game and Aarhus and loved it so booked this. God knows with the away portal anyway.
Yeah I know a few lads like him. First game and your hooked same as the rest of us.
I'd be surprised if he got one from the FAI, I'd say the locals will probably try and sell some tickets the nights before.

They all got validated today after the portal closed.

Rightly so, anyone with no account and record probably wouldn't have got one anyway. They could get them through the football family but at least that allocation has been cut.

I'd say there's a good few who's first away game it is. Everything booked and thought tickets would be no bother.

Hopefully we aren't left waiting ages to hear if we're successful or not
