A lot of debate has been had on the number of Irish going. The Irish Times say interest is 1/3 higher from Poland 4 years ago.
Surely we'll have in the region of 40,000 inside the ground in Paris and the somewhat smaller in the other two games. Anyone care to guess the numbers we'll have? From a personal point of view, there's 16 people quite close to me who are going this time that didn't go to Poland. I'd imagine I'm not the only one knowing people going who didn't go four years ago |

France is so easy to get to that people will go if tickets are available. I would say 40k at the first game is a decent shout. Saint-Denis (80,000 seats)Lille (50,000 seats) Bordeaux (Matmut Atlantique – 42,000 seats) |

Have had a good amount of people who know i travel away to games approach me asking if it is possible to get them tickets, most of whom have never been away to a game and very rarely been to a home match, some of who must have forgotten how they sneered at me after Poland, i have not forgotten .
But generally get the impression a lot more people are more interested this time around.

If we get 35,000 in for the Sweden game I'd be surprised was looking for 1 extra ticket for it and no joy anywhere. In 2004 we were given a huge allocation because the French public weren't interested in going to the game .

Sweden always bring big numbers, Belgium are on the doorstep and have their best team ever, Italians don't give a f**k till the knock outs. So yeah Claret your prediction sounds more likely than the half the stadium in Paris full of Irish scenario

Sweden will have a lot in that stadium. We'll do well to get 35k into stade de france. Belgium will bring a lot too and we all know how hard tickets have been to come by in that game. Italy game is one i could see being 70% Irish. They won't care about the game and probably the good people of Lille won't either
