Already been instances of SCs touting, and as mentioned in BBs own email whingeing to TDs, they openly admit to flogging season tickets regularly.  The FAI should have sole control over the administration of tickets, made all the easier now with the move to digital where they can trace where the ticket ends up if transferred.  Why anyone would want their ST with a club and not in their own name is beyond me anyway.   I have been here before Sham , Myself and Mrs Claret was turned over ( like soooooooooooooooo many for the Scotland away game ) we  decided then and then to go with the SC for tickets . Now since then if we did not have enough aways games for certain games we would not have got a ticket , now other SCs i can not comment on but ours told their members this in case .  I have always been open about what we shoud get and what we don't but i love the level playing field for all what we have at the moment .

I casting no aspersions on your club whatsoever. Many clubs are run well. The point remains though that the FAI dont know and cant control where the tickets go once a club is running it. They simply submit the total tickets they require. You could go to one away per campaign but your name could be on the list for every game if your club so desired to play it that way and they can do whatever they want with ‘your’ ticket. The result being that you have no record of your own and neither does the person who takes ‘your’ ticket when you dont go.

Yes  do they think the FAI owe them  ? Yes

I would say some of the discounted tickets would have been sold on to casual followers at full price with the usual €10 commission. I’m pretty sure there’s some at the head of these clubs getting free tickets and trips from generated ‘revenue’.

I'd say they said to JD through their cosy relationship "we want our own part of the stadium so our club can be together to enjoy the match together and to help create a better atmosphere....but not the singing section" which is fair enough (especially if there are many families).

Tricky one i must say , until we all know what has happened and what is going to happen going forward it's hard to 2nd guess things . 

the national team should be disbanded and forgotten about, save us all the trouble of listening to these event junkie pricks.

Not certain on exact numbers. They themselves, both in an email to TDs, of which screen grabs are doing the rounds, and previous messages to their members mention different or ball park numbers.

These lads profess to be die hard yet have thrown a wobbler because they cant continue to deprive the cash strapped FAI of roughly half of whats owed for the category ticket they previously held and that was basically given away to them by the most corrupt fcuker to ever hold office in the FAI. The ST is great value as proven already and represents a decent discount on single match. That should be the one and only perk on its price. The fact that it sold put and every other SC has signed up to waht was on offer speaks volumes about the reaction of Ballybrack.
