Oh dear. Memories came flooding back
I know. It’s unsurprising though given our history with the Scots. A lot of us haven’t forgotten.
**** me who let the rain man in
If....we beat Austria..there will only be a few days to sell the 33000 tickets
They will sell out easily
I imagine they'd sell a double ticket and refund if we don't get there
Wondered if they might sell the tickets as a pair
They'l all be gone in 10 minutes and be sitting nicely in people's phones somewhere.
They get about 2000 tickets max
All this talk of playing Scotland almost guarantees an Austria v Ukraine final
Hmmm. An unbiased & free draw comes out exactly in line with the UEFA rankings. The odds on that must be higher than a lottery win.
FIFA country seeding
6 Italy 1 v 67 North Macedonia 6
8 Portugal 2 v 37 Turkey 5
18 Sweden 3 v 31 Czech 4
19 Wales 4 v 30 Austria 3
34 Russia 5 v 27 Poland 2
38 Scotland 6 v 25 Ukraine 1
If it was true it would be weird, but they are not the order of seedings. If you are trying to propose a conspiracy theory I can debunk it easily. If FIFA fixed the draw do you really think they have made it impossible for Italy and Portugal to qualify?
Best way to sell both matches and stop the rush for the possible final.
Sell a double ticket of which if we don’t make the final then the void ticket becomes valid for the next nations league home match.
What if people can't make the next nations league home match? Better to refund surely?
No.
Better that the money stays in the FAW. Maybe it can be used for another Nations match instead.
Doubt much would worry when they are acquiring there semi tickets.
I know but it’s hell of a coincidence and the odds would have been astronomical. 1v6 2v5 3v4 4v3 5v2 6v1
Seems overly complicated to me (and probably the FAW)
I don’t think they are astronomical from a statistical POV. Considering half were seeded that line up had the exact same odds as any line up. More actually as Ukraine can’t play Russia.
Exactly, Scotland beat 10 men Luxembourg 1-0 not so long ago
Don’t we have around 24,000 red wall members?
A 1 in 720 chance, same as for any other draw.
However, it might be worth considering that the hardest part is probably getting the first 2/3 correct. Scotland and Wales were drawn first, so there was a 1/6 then 1/5 chance of getting the draws they did, so 1 in 30 chance of drawing the teams we did.
Next we have a 1/4 chance, then 1/3. Yes that moves the 1 in 30 to a 1 in 120 then a 1 in 360 overall, but a 1/4 probability isn't that unlikely, while a 1/3 chance is more likely again.
Once we get to Path C, it's a 50/50 chance of having the draw we did.
If they got over 30000 members and then can’t guarantee all a ticket would be interesting? They’re still selling memberships too so you’d think they might need to cap the numbers? I doubt they do mind as selling the memberships brings the money in.
I was 16 at the time of the Anfield game and travelled up on my own by train. We arrived at Rock Ferry train station, Birkenhead. They had laid on double-decker buses to take us to the ground. The journey to the ground (seemed to take ages) was quite uneventful, however, once arriving at the Kop End, things turned ugly.
We were up in the far right-hand corner of the terrace (looking out onto the pitch). The bottles, cans, lighters and coins were hurled at us throughout the game, there was never a lull in the barrage they sent over to us. The verbal abuse they gave us when leaving the ground was unbelievable.
I was there in '85 too - they had a bit of 'pay-back' then, well, at least on the Bob-Bank they did.
There were 5k more people at the Belgium game than for Belarus though despite them bundling the tickets together.
Hope this will be sold in the same old way with points given to people for away attendance, length of membership etc and a staggered timeslot to buy tickets. Some newer or less active members may miss out but I don't think they will be able to complain too much about that.
24,000 existing members, 3,000 away + segregation still leaves 6,000 available tickets, they’ll be a lot of new members signing up inan attempt to get those tickets.
