As an internet forum, the demographic of users varies from those who visit the site on a daily basis to those who visit on a handful of occasions in a year. What is clear is that the site, and particularly the associated forum, has been an essential resource for those attending Ireland games at home and particularly abroad. Users on the site have long campaigned for a clear and transparent ticketing system, with the flaws of the existing system acutely shown prior to the Scotland game in 2014. Site users analysed existing schemes in place in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, England and other countries and have proposed this as a suitable model to the FAI. This proposal was made long before the fiasco surrounding the Scotland game, and was raised with the FAI on a number of occasions before and since. Since the Scotland game, the site and its users appear to have been labelled as “troublemakers” and the previously positive relationship with the FAI has deteriorated. We believe that this is unfair, as the leadership of the FAI accepted that there were issues with the allocation of these tickets, but the channels of communication with the Association have dried up since late 2014. The FAI established a network of Republic of Ireland Supporters’ Clubs in 2013 an this initiative must be welcomed. It appears that the only communication between the Association and the fan base will be conducted through this Confederation of Supporters’ Clubs. Many YBIG users are not members of these official Supporters Clubs and wish to remain as “independent” supporters. YBIG has always rejected the decision to become an official Supporters Club, a move supported by many on the site. This decision became challenging in light of a policy decision to first prioritise the allocation of tickets to Supporters’ Clubs by the Association, and then also to consider Supporters’ Clubs and independent supporters as part of the same cohort for the allocation of tickets. The result is that Supporters’ Clubs and independent supporters, under the umbrella of the ‘Fans Direct’ scheme, are now eligible to apply for 30% of away tickets. YBIG believes that there is significant opportunity to bring further transparency to the allocation of tickets and has lobbied both the Association and also individual Supporters’ Clubs on this matter. It is becoming clear that in order to ensure that the voice of independent supporters is heard, YBIG requires an official mandate which people can sign up to. The intention is to remain independent. This will ensure that the voice of independent supporters is heard on all issues from match safety, travel, ticketing etc. We understand that many supporters will question this move and wonder why now? We believe that we have exhausted all our existing avenues of communication with the Association and despite our best efforts, it appears that this may be the best channel for supporters to ensure that their voice is heard. YBIG would like to invite supporters to sign up to this scheme in order to provide a mandate for the group. Key Points

Am happy enough to sign up to this otherwise independent fans will continue to be shafted The 30% allocation to independents and sc is a disgrace but the deafening silence on it from certain quarters is even worse Newryrep + 1 ------------- 'Irish' Songs for an Irish team - no SPL EPL generic sh*te Richard Dunne - 6th Sept 11 - best marshalling of a defence in Moscow since General Zukov Russia V Germany 1941 |

I see debate was invited on here so reckon I'll kick it off ! I think this is a positive step - Around the time of the Scotland ticket fiasco and the requests for YBIG to become an official supporters club, I had suggested maybe forming YBIG into a type of Fans Union to represent independent fans and I think this is a move towards that. By getting the mandate from people on here and forming into an organised group, it puts an onus on to the FAI to engage with a large group of fans. I'm sure many on here suspect that they won't but hopefully they take this opportunity to work in a collaborative manner. |

Do you think the FAI would have more respect for a fans union ? They obviously have little respect for the average Joe soap travelling independently . The YBIG forum raises issues and concerns already and they don't really care . I think the only way the FAI would listen is that YBIG turns into a supporters club . This way they have control over you like they do with all the other SC's in the country . It's all about the power |
Posted By: Borussia
Date Posted: 07 Jun 2016 at 10:34pm
I think if the lads succeed in getting big numbers together to support this, then it's possible this grouping would be bigger than most supporters clubs. The FAI would appear daft not to make some efforts to engage with such a sizeable group. |

| @Borussia Maybe that's what scares them . Trying to control a group of this size with a strong voice . Many of the other SC's are dotted around the country in different counties in smaller amounts . YBIG is a different beast that is nationwide and well supported and would be harder to control . |

I would agree - Which is exactly why we need a strong unified voice. It's the not the same situation with clubs in England as fundamentally those clubs have more at stake with their fanbases etc but a number of clubs do now engage directly with supporters union-type groups and it does work. They don't always agree but constructive relationships can be had. |

If YBIG was not around how many Irish fans would NOT be going to France because of gaining access to tickets Struggling to sort out Accom as few organised trips Understanding about travelling around Helping other supporters get tickets even when they have them I know I joined the forum after getting no tickets, got tons of help and assistance and offered it as well. Independent Fans groups can lobby Politicians more effectively than supporters clubs. Often a supporters club is really controlled by a few at the top and rest go along as long as tickets are forthcoming, there are exceptions. As pointed out FAI cannot control YBIG hence it wants to do everything it can to limit its influence. Reality is that engaging gives it easy access to Social Media forum who want to help. |

I don't understand what's going on here lads. It looks like just another one of those meaningless lists so beloved of YBIG or did I miss something. Is it planned to present some kind of petition to the FAI and, if so, what will the petition say and will the FAI be able to identify us all from our forum names to establish we are bona fide ticket buying supporters [I know they have a spy in our midst but I didn't think he was that good]. ------------- The mole, my hole - Just Saying Like |

No, not at the moment. What is being proposed is a supporters club with a difference. I'd like to see the constitution and rules of the proposed club and know who would be representing me before I'd put my name on a list which is going to be given to the FAI in support of an application by this club for official recognition.

no it is not there is no fee , no crest and no intention to join the confederation, you give your consent that YBIG can speak on your behalf on fan matters as an independent fans that's essentially it See above Likely the mods on here and or a couple of other long term poster Only that it can speak for on behalf of X No ST holders/away regulars it would appear so - bottom line is you either trust the people here will do their best on behalf of independent fans or you don't , if you don't fine do you think the confederation is going to campaign for the 30% to be increased ? ------------- 'Irish' Songs for an Irish team - no SPL EPL generic sh*te Richard Dunne - 6th Sept 11 - best marshalling of a defence in Moscow since General Zukov Russia V Germany 1941 |

It's all very woolly Newry. You say there is no intention to join the Confederation but one of the stated aims in the op is to get a seat at Confederation events. I'm not questioning the integrity of anyone on here but I would be reluctant to authorise self appointed individuals to represent me in a situation where they are operating without rules or restrictions and are free to make it up as they go along. I do not see the FAI or the Confederation facilitating this initiative and I would have serious concerns this could lead to the demise of Fans Direct the existence of which has facilitated many of us in getting tickets for France. ------------- The mole, my hole - Just Saying Like |

Just repeating my question from earlier : What would you suggest Portal ??? By the way, I'm not questioning your right to have the opinion above : All part of a healthy debate. You've obviously thought about this so would be interested if you would suggest an alternative approach. |

To be truthful I'm not sure I have a suggestion, or at least one that would meet with any degree of approval on here. Delaney has the FAI in his pocket and seems to be able to do what he likes and I don't think he is going to be in any way receptive to an approach from YBIG. That boat was burned long ago and won't sail again as long as Delaney is in charge. I've said before we were extremely lucky to get Fans Direct when we did and it only happened because Delaney was on the back foot with the media. I've also said before that nobody would understand our objection if the FAI announced the dissolution of FD and invited all supporters to join an SC and/or to facilitate people on YBIG forming their own SC. If I was forced to make a suggestion now it would be let sleeping dogs lie. ------------- The mole, my hole - Just Saying Like |

Getting a seat or getting some influence is different to joining a confederation we have stated categorically we will not be joining the confederation - not least as we would have to become a club contradiction - you either trust them or you don't, you clearly don't , that's fine Maybe , maybe not, maybe if enough were on board we would be hard to ignore ? really how many points did the FAI confirm that you had ? what was the cut off points for euro tickets BTW I must of missed the memo , how many people were ahead of you in the Queue ?Portal this is giving people a mandate to argue for a fairer and more transparent system and to argue that 30% of the allocation is a disgrace, you are not tied for life, it is not the mafia, you can withdraw that consent and go your own way at any time If you are content with the status quo then its maybe its not for you ------------- 'Irish' Songs for an Irish team - no SPL EPL generic sh*te Richard Dunne - 6th Sept 11 - best marshalling of a defence in Moscow since General Zukov Russia V Germany 1941 |

@newryrep Its not easy to follow your posts or be sure what point any particular comment relates to. As regards the issue of trust I said I'm not questioning anyone's integrity but integrity and judgement are two entirely different issues. It is not uncommon for well intentioned people to make bad judgement calls and I wouldn't be in favour of self appointed leaders representing me in any circumstances or on any issue or level. You asked me earlier if I would be putting my name on the list and I answered honestly that I wouldn't be at this moment at least. I respect the position of the people who want to support this initiative but as I've said I hope it doesn't damage the little we currently have. I think almost without exception the people who should have got sorted for tickets for France got sorted and I'm looking forward to the next few weeks and to the autumn when I expect to see the usual couple of hundred at the away games. ------------- The mole, my hole - Just Saying Like |

Just to throw my 2 cents in. I'm 100% behind the initiative. I don't believe anyone should be at a disadvantage regarding tickets based on whether they are or are not in a supporters club. We all support the team the same. I don't have an issue with the idea of supporters clubs but I don't feel anyone should be forced to join one (especially the way some of them are being run) I would have one concern. I don't think it should just be mods or long time posters from here representing people. If the idea is to represent independent supporters then all independent supporters who want to be join should be given the chance to have a voice regardless of when they joined the forum or how much they post. |

On these two points, do you think the usual couple of hundred and the people who should get sorted will get tickets for Cardiff, when we'll have about 1,600 tickets? Even more so if the game means something for both teams, which it might well. Just a reminder, if 30% of tickets go to SCs and Fans' Direct, that'll be under 500 tickets. Now, SCs have, I think, about 1,200 season tickets..... Fans' Direct at last count had two to three hundred (largely "the usual couple of hundred" you refer to). So, using those maths, generously counting 300 for FD, pro-rating, that's 100 tickets for FD and 400 for the 1,200 SC members. That means only 100 of the usual couple of hundred, who go to basically every game, home and away, would get tickets in Cardiff. And you're prepared to stand by and let that happen? This is something that we need to talk about now, not later. -------------

Well, there's no harm in having officer position elections. Everyone who wants to have a position should outline on here why they want it and what they can bring, everyone who has signed up to the mandate gets a vote. It's simple enough to do. -------------

@SD - I don't think the system is right or fair or transparent but I do think the FAI or should I say Delaney learned lessons from Glasgow and I don't think we will have a similar fcuking up again anytime soon. You seem to be under the impression that all of the die hard regular away supporters are so called "independents" or ybigers but that's not so. I know plenty of sc members who are part of the hard core and that's even more so since the emergence of C88. ------------- The mole, my hole - Just Saying Like |

Stop misrepresenting what I said: I quite clearly said "largely 'the usual couple of hundred' you refer to".... completely different to "You seem to be under the impression that all of the die hard regular away supporters are so called 'independents' or ybigers". I don't know whether you're doing that on purpose or whether you didn't read my post in detail; either way, that's not what I said. Put it like this: is 100 tickets for non-affiliated independent fans enough? Not even close. That's the key point. Misrepresenting where I said "largely" to mean "all" doesn't answer that point at all. We can't just hope that the FAI have learned lessens. They may well have; but we don't know for sure. If they have, great. If they haven't, we have to do all we can to make sure that sort of thing doesn't happen again. That's the purpose of the mandate. A hunch, whether correct or not, doesn't mean everything is grand. -------------

I note you avoided the Fans direct questions and the general thrust of our argument so I will repeat for your benefit when did the FAI inform you of your points total ? When did the FAI inform you of the points total needed to secure tickets to euro 2016 when did the FAI inform you how many people are ahead of you in the queue ? as to the general thrust - to give independent fans a voice we need to come together - the mandate is the mechanism the FAI could well ignore us no guarentees that they wont ...but I suspect they wont ------------- 'Irish' Songs for an Irish team - no SPL EPL generic sh*te Richard Dunne - 6th Sept 11 - best marshalling of a defence in Moscow since General Zukov Russia V Germany 1941 |
