    Irish fans

    Over 10k fans with 3.5 tickets.

    A number of Irish fans have been buying tickets for home section.
    Authorities are warning they will not be allowed into the ground.

    It has never been a problem anywhere in Europe. The Polish are mad about the Irish. Had a fantastic time there.
    If there is one country that doesn't understand football violence its Ireland

    This game is a Home sellout, so presumably they're paying over the odds via disreputable channels?

    Re: Irish fans

    They've bought them from Welsh fans cashing in.

    Re: Irish fans

    I'm looking forward to the craic tbh, I'm sure that even if some Irish get into the home end, I don't think it would cause a problem.

    My biggest worry is how long it will take to get served in the pub!

    England on the other hand...

    A word of warning to any Irish doing this. I've seen two people on FB selling their tickets (one a Man Yoo fan from North Wales) and they've both been reported to the FAW and Lucy Jones.

    Those tickets need to be scanned to gain entry, so they can easily be blocked in advance.

    I wouldn't risk the £200 and then find you can't get in anyway.

    There's going to be a few disappointed. Its a shame for those that make a huge effort to make a game.

    Do they generally support their local Irish clubs, or is it a national excuse for a piss-up like the eggball here?

    As they do Cardiff City. :)

    When I say wanabee English, I mean the Donkeys posting earlier in this thread.

    National excuse? 40k in Poland an excuse?

    If we were given 25k tickets we would have sold them.

    Yeh, that's them. Strange lot, but suppose making a few quid will always uppermost for some.

    Re: Irish fans

    Going through my deceased father's stuff recently and I came across a football programme from 1948, Waterford city vs Everton, a challenge match (friendly), he had kept it since his childhood, didn't know anything about it until last week.

    Waterford have produced many good footballers.

    and Cardiff City too.

    There's a huge difference between club and International football.
    I remember being in leafy Whitchurch for England v Croatia 2007? 80% were glued to the game. The vast majority quite enthusiastic for an England win.

    His little face, the way it falls.

    For some extra fun, keep an eye on the guys in the background as the goal goes in. A very nice from the one on the right.

    Re: Irish fans

    Can I just walk up on the night and buy a ticket at the turnstile? I'll probably be getting there around 7:40 ish

    That's not actually an argument against the point I'm making

    Don't worry, just keeping you on your toes a bit. Hope the Irish fans enjoy themselves. I've always found them a friendly, likeable bunch

    On their forum they've said there were multiple arrests, IRA songs, and a guy standing on a bench outside Oneills with his kegs down pissing everywhere.

    A few months ago. Sometime before I came over for the Wednesday game.

    I know that, but at the same time why would their own fans try to make out their fans are acting scummy.

    They're talking about how a lot of bad eggs have joined their away following after it

    Not the same thing at all, that’s just a few well meaning fans enjoying a spot of high jinx
