Sorry if this has been covered before but surely we will have the biggest away support at the Euros?
The traditional big travellers: Holland, England & perhaps Germany are all in the Ukraine...
With 20k + Irish going, surley no one will match it? Croatia will have a decent following too but we should outnumber the Italians and Spanish 3-1 easy.

No idea, JD said it in interview we had 4th most applications for tickets, seeing how many ukraine tickets were on the portal would discard them, poland, Czech and Russians would be my guess |

hopefully they'll be a good number of supporters from the other teams in our group. Always good craic when on the lash with Italian fans and Croats like a good sup too

It's one thing basing it on applications but anecdotally it seems like we have a monster crowd traveling... I suppose the Czechs won't have to stay in Poland and there would be a lot Russia transplants all over Europe so perhaps we're not the biggest travellers.

I mean apart from the home nations. The Russians will have a big following but a lot of that will be Russians living in Poland/ Ukraine.
I'd be supprised if the Czech's had more than us.

All their group games are in Wroclaw which is right beside the Czech border. |

All the Czech games are in Wroclaw. It's less than 100km from the Polish border. It's a four hour drive from Prague. That's like the drive from Dublin to Dingle. There is no doubt the Czechs will be the best supported team aside from Poland, maybe even better than Ukraine. |

Czech v Greece tickets have been readily available on the portal.
I think we'll have more than the Czechs. Germans will travel in big numbers for the later rounds but not to Ukraine. |

The Czechs dont have much appetite for attending games.. Look at the empty seats even when we played there in 07'. No way will they have more than us.
