NR, not sure how we got there as the tcikets were for Block 19 but it was a grand spot to watch the game and not often you'd be as close to the dugout.

I've a fair idea, ye got too f**kin lazy walking down that long corridor and when ye got that far, thought '' This'll do us'' LOL.  Could see the Apache chief's wig/hat from nearly anywhere in 1st half, dunno where ye got to in the 2nd half though, probably up eating prawn sandwiches with JD........

There was alot less than 100 beside dug out. We were there and if there was 60 or 70 that was it. Remember it was a small ground so numbers would be deceiving.

I was in that section too and thought there were less than 50 Irish fans in it.  I reckoned we had 500 fans in the stadium.  


You're probably right in fairness. There wasn't that many beside the dugout. I was being generous with the 70 odd figure. There's no way we had 900 or 1000 there.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

I might have had one Jemmy to many before the game. I'm happy to say I remember the game but don't actually remember much as to how I got there.

It just seems Wild West with the FAI you have to do what you can as there are no real rules , I threw all my bags in with my local SC as I did think it was the best chance of getting tickets for all games and so far we have never been let down .
 We all know this can be sorted out so but the FAI don't want to and we know the reasons for it .
As for ticket harvesting this could be stopped at a stroke well a scan really .
As those who travelled to the last 2 away games may have seen the head of security from the FAI checking tickets , now he could have scanned them also down dated then to whatever IT dobby do  and bingo we have everyone who turned up at the match .
Again all this is too simple , there will be change only when there is change at the top until then it seems it's everyone for themselves .



Murph - actual random pick up in host city would work a treat
 
Yep I agree NR but saying that the last two what I can think of were Tbilisi and Astana and they still didn't manage to work it out who was there or not .
I know fair play to Brianie who pick up a good few tickets for a good few of us in Astana , now we were all there but the FAI didn't know that .
 
Murph - just being in Tbilisi or Astana should not be THE factor in you getting scarce away tickets it should be A factor. Moldova wasn't exactly that easy to get to. Anyway I digress
 
Random pick up in host city
  • a number selected at random have to pick up at city centre hotel or at ground IN PERSON between certain times at hotel or hour or two before match
  • not their mate not their wife, not their mates wife, not the excuse he has slept in , or overindulged the night before and is in his bedWink
  • it really is that simple
  • don't turn up  - get a warning and advised you will be requested to pick up future away games
  • do it again  - touch sh*t - no more tickets

Why do you insist on sh*t stirring with rumours? This causes nothing but problems, if you have facts and evidence then by all means post it. This is like primary school on certain threads, with all the crying and finger pointing. Cringeworthy from certain posters.

Murph, does your SC meet regularly ? And if so, would they entertain the topic of ticket allocations being discussed at the meeting ? Genuine question here. Am just asking as I used to be in the SC over here for a while. They meet every month or so : If I was still involved now I might be tempted to ask at a meeting about it, would be unsure of how that would be recieved.
