Denmark Away Ticket Thread - NO TOUTING

Some difficulty getting in to D3. Had 4 home ends - 2 in D3 and 2 up in the Gods in the A section who seemed to have no trouble getting up but a different story for us 2 in D3. 

Got back today and signed up to YBIG

For the first time ever at an away game I was ashamed of the fans. We had 2300 precious tickets to a massive game. We had players giving everything and people who desperately wanted to be there but were deprived of tickets having to pretend to be Danish to get in. We let ourselves and the players down.

In the away section about 75% of the crowd never opened their f*****g mouths to support our team. Some of them were more interested in getting their pints than watching the match. Some didn't know who the players are. Others spent their time recording the experience. Some had got themselves so pissed that they didn't know where they were or what the f**k they were there for. Fair play to the bloke with the drum. He did his best. I honestly could not believe that we went from the passion of Cardiff to this crap. By the way I will guarantee you that some of the same waste of space "fans" will have been singing up a storm in the bars and on the street where it doesn't matter a sh##e.

Yes, some of it must be down to ticket allocations and the football family tickets seem to go to anyone who fancies a weekend away.   But there is more to it than that. I really wonder if we are putting the craic ahead of the game. It must be about the team not the fans or else it means nothing. For a game of this importance how can anyone who calls himself a supporter get so pissed that he can't function when the team needs support. There are people who would give their right arm for that ticket and would make better use of it. If I miss out on a ticket at a future game at least I want it to be to someone who will give the team everything they have got instead of someone who got pissed in more cities than me.

Anyway tomorrow will be better.

I was in A9. Found the atmosphere strange. There wasn't any singing and I felt detached from the main crowd of Irish fans. Even so the main block in D2 or whatever seemed strangely subdued.  Very little atmosphere.

Great post. I felt like I was being looked down on for singing for my country. Why some people were there is beyond me.

Was really disappointing to see a couple of Irish lads smoking the funny stuff before the match. Pretty disgraceful carry on in front of locals. I'd say that kinda carry on had a bigger impact on messiness than the McGregor boys.

Whatever about lads snorting the Colombian marching powder, a joint isn't going to bother the locals. AFAIK it's decriminalised there anyway. Lads are more likely to go on a Burger King binge than start a fight after a smoke anyway.

These fair weather fans don't generate the same support and noise for the team that regular away supporters do and the piss heads are effecting the reputation of Irish fans.   Simple solution is increase the allocation to Fans Direct and Supporters Club to 70%. Keeps all the fans happy, builds good relations between the fans and the FAI, keeps the reputation of the fans intact and most importantly ensures there's real noise and support for the Irish team in the ground.

How would a fair and transparent system be bad news for people on here panama ????
