No Loyalty to Genuine Away Fans

Well lads and ladies,

This Denmark away game has again proven the FAI to be incapable of looking after genuine supporters.

I know of two groups of fans of 6 supporters in different parts of the country who have gone to every away game for the last 20 years. Both groups only got 50% of what they wanted.

So these fans have been let down for the first time ever.

No loyalty whatsoever.

They were all in Bosnia two years ago when we only got 900 tickets.

Mind boggling stuff

Know of 1 person who's done over the 6 game criteria but hasn't got a ticket.

Same issue for Wales and when he contacted them about it was told his account only had 3 aways on it (he had applied on a friends account previously) how can these tickets not be linked to him when his name and account number was given on his friends application.

As far as I know he was told them games can't be transferred to his account either which is crazy as it's because of this he been let down again

Why apply for some on his own and others on a friend's? There's been numerous reports of the FAI allocating half the number of tickets requested across the board to groups/SCs. It's a mess, but you've little come back compared to having your own individual account.

I agree having all games on own account is the only way to go but surely can't be that hard to transfer the games from the other account to his own when his details would of been given when applying for them

Think he got tickets on the other account after been rejected for Glasgow. Has got all tickets for the current campaign on his own account (only game missed was Serbia although Wales ticket wasn't sourced direct from fai)

Was said on the last email received on the ybig mandate that people leaving clubs to go to fans direct etc can bring their account records with them might be something to check at next meeting about people being able to transfer records from 1 fans direct account to another at least that way more people will have accurate account details

Still not clear sorry to be pedantic but it's important to be factual
2 fai accounts ?
6 people in each all with perfect away records getting their tickets off the fai
3 tickets given to each account ?

What's beating me is why is Bosnia highlighted as an example of their support?

There were spare tickets for Bosnia.

Because there was less demand. We got 90 but less than 900 needed a ticket
