Not sure about that one NR as we were we told that the game was going to be in Barcelona by the FAI ? Or when Andorra decided to have it at their place we were given only 175 tickets . Then as Hornet says we had a raffle and he got the " Golden Ticket " wink wink as he told us . As for the rest of us we didn't know anything until a few hours before and we had to queue for tickets next to the the portacabin , which they could not open as they didn't have the keys . Loads had spare tickets well in two pieces as I don't want to talk about that one on here again . So yes all things taken in I think it was a royal mess .

The FAI told fans Barcelona as they had been informed of that by the Andorran FA. They Andorrans had requested that venue with UEFA, as they had done before for other matches in the past with a large number of fans visiting. (Ireland, Engalnd and Holland AFAIK) The UEFA then later (at the 90 days deadline) told the Andorran FA they would not allow it, even though they did the previous times. Hardly the FAI at fault here IMO. |

Murph It was never confirmed for Barcelona everybody just assumed it was - it wasn't that surprising when Russia (likely) insisted it was in Andorra Given the size of the ground that's all the tickets we were allocated Given the size of the ground the FAI couldn't encourage fans to travel It was purposely left to just a few hours before KO to stop people travelling up from Barcelona

To be fair, the FAI did a raffle and handed out spare media passes and I think someone was even deputy head of security too. You'd not see the English FA doing that.

The English FA would not have lied to their fans telling them that there were no tickets going on sale the day of the game and to stay in Barcelona for those with no tickets. What happens? They took us (and still do take us) for eejits. It was a great way for John Delaney to boost his popularity after telling people at previous away trips the match was in Barcelona. A nice prelude for the raffle in Estonia later that year too.

They couldn't encourage ticketless fans to travel - how difficult it it to understand this The majority who wanted to see the game travelled to Andorra and seen the game |

Exactly. Andorra was a one off case and the FAI don't deserve criticism for it.
Glasgow, on the other hand, we don't need to reopen here. |

"Perhaps the reason that they did not consider the worst, was because discussion of such cases would have cast suspicion on the planner as being a "saboteur". Paranoia was rampant throughout."

Get them to do a deal with a Pizza / Other food emporium that delivers when we there as otherwise if people leave to eat elsewhere they will drink elsewhere at same time. Bit like the Asian restaurants in Birmingham without a license, offie next door will give what you want and you just take next door.................. works well for both parties. |
