Not the sfa,would you be happy giving England 10000 tickets as it's easy for them to get to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always end up with some supporters in home end as we are welcome anywhere we travel but i believe , correct me if i am wrong , but it is an offence to enter the wrong end knowingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden doesn't hold 100000. A lot of Scotland fans like to think we're welcome everywhere we go. I doubt it's an offence if you bought the ticket legally. Apart from that,cracking post.

We don't have a ground capable of holding 100000 supporters. Wembley is almost twice the size of Hampden, we should give them a pro rate allocation to whatever we get at Wembley. We always end up with some supporters in home end as we are welcome anywhere we travel but i believe , correct me if i am wrong , but it is an offence to enter the wrong end knowingly no it's not, at least not everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a smashing weekend and great of the SFA to set up beer stalls within the ground so we could all enjoy a beer or 13 during the match. I have no idea why they get such a hard time on here!? lol wis it the Sfa that set up the beer stalls i vaguely remember swigging a bottle of whisky ah thought they were selling raffles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done for completely missing the point. We'll have a situation here where the stadium will be barely half full, where a bigger allocation was avaliable but the SFA didn't push for it, they were the only ones who thought that would be an adequate allocation. Piss poor from the SFA. The fact that they got an adequate allocation six years ago will be of absolutely no help to those who have booked up thinking that with the size of the stadium and allocation we should have got then we'd be fine, it's ridiculous.

Going by the old 10% rule - we "should have got 1700 tickets, the SFA have managed to get over twice that amount - I would say that's fairly good going.

My mate had our tickets in his basket at noon and the payment page went blank. All booked up with no tickets.

SAY Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 5 minutes ago, Orraloon said: You'll get a ticket out there. One point might be enough for a Wembley ticket? Being one of the "unlucky" ones again via the SSC for Malta, what we need now on this thread is contacts of how to get a ticket over there. The various websites don't have any ticket info, probably in the knowledge that there will be a decent travelling support looking to snap up a few tickets. I've already made a few enquiries, so if I hear of any leads I'll add to this thread. Surely a few Jambos on here, no contacts over there from the recent Europa League exploits?
