Lawman Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 This needs to be taken up by the fans and reported in the press. so someone who was on a point more than me but did not go to Lithuania now has a better chance than me after I have made the effort to go to Lithuania,to apply for a ticket for Slovenia, what is the point of the supporters club. it should be renamed the SFA cant be arsed looking after the supporters club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the capacity in Slovenia? Off the top of my head I've no idea but having seen it on tv I'd be very surprised if it holds more than 15-16,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Hibs Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 So back of a fag packet calculations: Allocation: 1230 10-8 points: 944 10-7 points: 1525 So, 286 tickets left for 7 pointers (if all 10-8's take theirs). There are 581 seven pointers. Points Table (Nov 2016) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawman Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 That's not what I was getting at, I meant we should all be bombarding the various sports writers about this and shaming this excuse for an organisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Baws. Been booked up for this one for a while, and probably won't get allocated a ticket. Despite making the effort to go to Poland. (sorry!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goozay Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 1 hour ago, Mazziessc said: I'd hazard a guess that Slovenia are reluctant to give the same allocation out as they could be looking to beat us to qualify for play off's. However unlikely that may be. On this ocassion you might be right but the SSC's ability to negotiate has been diminished in recent years - Slovakia last year was nowhere near sold out but the SSC were unable to get any extra than was initially offered. Plus as captain said we're getting less than they gave England. Level of service in general from the SSC has seen a steady decline year-on-year.

Lawman Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Also why not tell us in the email that we got about the ticket sale that the Lithuania point would not be included? possibly to hide their embarrassment of the decision and hope it is swept under the carpet? they really do not have a high opinion of the members of the supporters club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 How can it take 2 weeks to update the points? Delete a column with the Poland points in it, and add a"1" into a new column for everyone that went to Lithuania. A few hours work max. They could even have waited a week before putting them on sale to get it done. Negotiating is awful as well. We will all be killing each other and losing the rag trying to get an official ticket - meanwhile the stadium will be half empty like Slovakia.

I don't dispute the Sfa can do more to get better allocations but Slovenia have a right to play hardball especially if they believe it will be a winner takes it all game.

tartanmartin Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 A good solution to this would be to put the tickets on sale in two weeks once the Lithuania points have been added and make it 100% pickup in Ljubljana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, do I apply as a 3 or 4 ? If your account shows 4, hen you'll be in the 4 point bracket.

After all, should we make the playoffs that it the same sort of time frame between Slovenia and that game, are they gonna with old the Slovenia point till after the sale too?

tartanmartin Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I can't remember this happening before and we must've had similar timescales. Even if they could identify the ones likely to be affected and hold back that many tickets and make them pickup. Or go ahead with the sale and distribution of 10,9 and maybe 8 pointers and make the rest 100% pickup once points have been added. There needs to be a better solution.
