ColemanY2K Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Bullshit. Abdy and their dug were buying Germany end ones on here, what that actually amounts to in the scheme of say 10,000 people in one stand is badger all. Eta: I'll also be in the LL. In some of the only seats I saw available in that stand when the sale was to members and season ticket holders only. There is a list within the attached link of all YBIG forum members who have said they have bought 'home' end tickets, how many and where. The vast majority as you'll see bought tickets in lisbon lions lower: http://www.ybig.ie/forum/scotland-home-tickets-section_topic50236_post1556551.html#1556551 That list is just a tiny fraction of the total number who have bought 'home' end tickets.

Corkonian Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 FAI statement tonight really lays blame at SFA door for miserly allococation.It also acknowledges that as a result Irish fans have bought up tickets in all parts of CP. 12,000 applications for 3200 tickets. Really looking forward to this now, we're in upper JS . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really looking forward to this now, we're in upper JS .That seems a but rich from the FAI. Sounds like they're are laying off blame they should be getting for he way they handled their own processes. We are normally not backing the SFA but they've done nothing wrong with the allocation numbers. That's the rules.I do however blame them for selling tiks to Irish addresses, if that is what happened.

Goozay Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 FAI are saying the SFA told them the match was sold out, then continued to sell tickets through the public sale. That's just weird if true by the SFA. http://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/statement-on-scotland-tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however blame them for selling tiks to Irish addresses, if that is what happened. Rules state a minimum of 5% of stadium capacity, and that's exactly what the SFA have done.However in refusing to increase official allocation to away fans, and in turn putting tickets on open sale, they have created a situation where there will be up to twice as many Irish fans outside designated zone as within it. Still given the reputation of both sets of fans, I can't see any problems.Pound to a penny the same situation will unfold in Dublin in 2015. FYI 5% of Aviva is just 2,600.

The sfa were dead right in only allocating minimum amount.Absolutely fuming with the fai. Shower of cuunts.

1ANDYP Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I WOULD THINK 15000 PAddys in the ground, we will still drown them out I hope. Absolutly fuming at the sfa for what they have allowed here. But pounds mean more to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some hardcores in there every game, no chance you'll get it all, at a guess you'll get some of that end leading onto the west stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishandproud Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The paddys won't take over celtic park or anything like it. Well if there are 12-15k irish in there it will be pretty impressive for an away support no matter who you are, I don't expect us to have more fans than the home side, just having a bit of banter about it really.

Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Absolutely nonsensical from SFA, why did they not give irish 10 per cent to stop home end tickets being bought? Maybe fai would not guarantee same number for return game. Still, it would have avoided current situation, which could lead to bother. Also, game should have been at ibrox or even murrayfield to take the whole 'celtic' issue out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
