Tallaght24 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 If parkhead holds 60k say...what would be ROi's official allocation? We are getting 5% about 3k officially but given the Irish diaspora all over the UK I reckon there'll be between 7k to 10k converging on Paradise especially after Tuesday's result it's a cup final.

thplinth Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) oh ok but seems really low for parkhead to me. Edited October 16, 2014 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doric Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 oh ok, seems really low for parkhead to me. Don't think there was much left in public sale so that is what I have based my estimate on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersub Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 A lot of Irish have bought tickets in the public sale for Lisbon Lions Lower and Lisbon Lions upper to be near their 'official' away support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 20,000 is what I would expect from them at parkhead. It will be almost like a world cup game. You are delusional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalgety Bay TA Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 SSC members should have been offered the chance to buy a second ticket for this one. If too many applied then ballot to see who gets second ticket. Game sold out and no chance of away fans buying them. They were. 2 extra tickets per member were offered.

iainmac1 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 They were. 2 extra tickets per member were offered. Really? First I heard of that. They stopped it when there was 30,000+ members and couldn't offer extra ticket/s to each member anymore. Never seen the problem of doing ballots for second tickets even if a lot would miss out it would ensure all tickets going to home fans. SSC membership must have dropped significantly if they are now offering two extra tickets per member! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pencils Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It's two extra to anyone who bought a season ticket I'm sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 he used all have season tickets so possibly only open to season ticket holders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) You are delusional. I thought they would get 10k tickets legitimately, and then double it on the black market. (If it is 5k legitimately and not 10k then that is a mistake not a delusion you plum) edit put it back.

jerseybairn Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 The extra 2 tickets are only for season ticket holders. SCC members that did not buy the season tickets could not buy extra tickets prior to the public sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Of Paisley Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 To be honest, if there are 20,000 Irish at Parkhead we can hardly complain. After all, did we not have close on 25,000 in the Parc de Princes on THAT night? Lets face it, if that were the case they are taking full advantage of the complete cluster#### that is our ticketing strategy. No doubt we will see this in reverse in Dublin next June.

Anyone who thinks that there will not be a HUGE Irish support is kidding themselves. Only 34,000 at the game at Ibrox remember and with all due respect to the 'derby' nature of this game it is not that attractive as a match so an optimistic extra 10,000 Scots for this one in my opinion. A sell out means an extra 28,000 sold I believe the majority will be in green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReid Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 6-8k tops, seen a few on their forums but not a huge amount.. We Need to drown them out this game. I know a lot of people will still be feeling down due to the indyref result but we need to put it behind us and do our nation proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaLaAndy Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I reckon Ireland will have around 10k. The are only doing what we do at away games: take up the advantage of a poor ticketing structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspain Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 We haven't been bringing massive away support to qualifiers for quite a few years. 40,000 in Paris in 04 but 9,000 at a playoff in 09. We had 3,000 official tickets in Germany and a few hundred more scattered. No excess demand really. However it is hard to tell demand here. I've heard very different figures from sources so hard to tell demand. Many have not even bothered applying directly. I think there will easily be 10,000 Irish fans in Glasgow. Maybe not all at the game. As for "Scottish Irish fans" I can never really recall any travelling apart from 2 drunk idiots at Fulham a few years ago who wanted to sing sectarian songs. Loads in Hampden in 03 though. Once they behave anyone is welcome to support us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doric Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Point is the VAST majority will be TA and the noise will be defeaning in our favour. Their scattered extra few over the stadium won't make the slightest bit of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
