Whereabouts outside the ground was this anyway Butch and what time did you get those tickets? When the Q-Towers showed me the spot where they had collected their tickets, there were only a couple of food stalls there, near the away sections and that was about 15-20 minutes before ko.


You having a laugh I didn't get tickets that's what I'm giving out about

So it was past the away section in the left corner and yes there was coaches around there and fencing and it was a smallish trailer. I was there from 8.15 until 8.50
Sorry, misread your post. LOL 
 
It was well hidden alright. At the time, we thought they had already left but clearly not.
The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!!

The look of panic on your face as the lad spent ages trying to find your ticket !

Considering how quick he found yours and other tickets no wonder I was bricking it. They sent me to the Danish collection point and got it re printed.

I met MJD and he explained that you got sorted (Which is why it's OK to laugh about it now!).

Saw Celtic there about 10 years ago and atmosphere I'm away end was equally poor, very unusual for a Celtic euro away . some stadiums just aren't designed well for a good atmosphere

i was there that night also and it was a similar atmosphere and full of idiots just like saturday (regular away crew not included)

as for the point above about harvesting having been at all aways i'd say the real issue was the football family share and where that ended up

And then to see some being touted. The FAI really need to implement a proper scheme with the Football Family reduced to max 15 per cent.




I'd hazard a guess that a part of the problem was harvesting. Just look on this thread at how many got tickets from a regular who pulled out "at the last minute" would indicate a lot applued to keep their record up, knowing they'd shift them easy.
 
Eh ??
 
so you are saying regular away fans who had no intention of going got their tickets and sold them (at no doubt inflated prices) to ejjitts who had no real interest in the team ?

You are but you particularly under your numerous profiles can't disassociate ybig as a forum from folk on here chatting about ticket systems and love to refer to them as one in the same, and the voice of Irish football therefore to use the terminology of my esteemed Co Down colleague on here -

File under WUM/Troll.

How about proving yourself not to be once in a while?

Well that's it exactly. I'm entitled to disagree with the healthy majority that take issue with things I don't take issue with.

It still amazes me people can't grasp ybig.ie is a football forum for folk to express their views on the ROI football team, LOI, grassroots, a section for other football and then one for anything else folk want to talk about.
 
YBIG is not a 'club', 'click', 'group' of Ireland fans. Yes some of its posters meet up at games but they do so of their own back.
 
YBIG has a mandate group which their members are seeking to better the match day experience for ALL fans especially their members of which there is a high number of regulars who do all home and the majority (if not all) away matches.
 
 
Why folk still seek to come on here with their agenda to identify the forum as a group, as speaking for or as reflective of all Ireland fans continually baffles me.


Well said.
PM me for all forum moderation queries.
