I’d be hopeful if we get the 500+ that vast majority would get sorted. The 156 from Baku should be a priority, lol. Nah I’m messing but it is a dead rubber so can’t see there being much interest. Depends on how we do in Dublin a few days earlier as well. A positive result against Portugal and Lux could be swamped with Irish. 

Not sure if I misread a comment but did someone say there is thousands of Irish in Lux? LOL There’s not even thousands of Lux people in Lux FFS 
30,000 Irish live in Benelux with just over 2000 of them in Luxembourg.

In 2019 they got a crowd of 8,000 against Portugal and 6,300 against Serbia. 

In fairness there are about 100,000 Portuguese living in Lux (almost about 1/6th of the entire country)

Where did you get the 156 number for Baku from? I’d imagine about 1000 Irish will be over in Luxembourg for this.

I made it up but it was less than 200 anyways LOL

anytime we play on the continent at weekends there is a large number of supporters who travel from all over Europe. Luxembourg is easy to get to so I’d expect over 1,000 to travel .

As I said above, purely only my experience but I'd know of 4 or 5 people who would only be occasional away game people who are going to this game. With no close away game in two years, I imagine there will be many in a similar position who will fancy this trip.

Will almost certainly be over 1000 travelling. Out of our group only 3 went to Baku but there’s about 12 going to Luxembourg for example. Most picked this one as their one trip for the campaign from a long way out.

Likewise know of a good few going, they'd only have the odd game here and there so they know they've little to no chance of an away ticket.

Will be interesting to see what the allocation ends up being and how far it goes down the groups. Could end up being similar to Gibraltar and that was 6 of 9 required. Slovakia dropped back to 8 so maybe 5 or 6 at a guess for this.

If they go on the last 8 games like happened for Slovakia it will be as follows:

2021  Azerbaijan 
2019      Denmark, Georgia, Switzerland
2018      France, Denmark, Wales, Poland
