Israel Away - the headcount

[Beavis]

I know it seems early but considering anyone whos going will know so by now,
I was wondering how many site members are confirmed as travelling.The headcount prior to France gave a good indication of the phenomenal numbers going to Paris and I'm interested to see if we'll fill our 4-5,000 application for this game.Maybe Peader might do the honours of producing a a list similar to last time.
Here goes: Myself and Bro (2) Dublin - Tel Aviv March 25th

[gspain]

7 total

2 of us for 2 days 5 for the week.

[Cowboy]

just waiting on new credit card, hope to book with "stand up" next week.
Me and Fudge going

[PaulB]

3 of us for 3 days

[SeanieBoy]

Do you think it is safe enough??

[Ash]

Iz deffo going but I emailed standup to see if there was still places still
available but got no reply. Anyone know what the story is?

Looking into other deals at the moment but will probably go with standup
if there are places

it appears that their trip kinda fell through due to lack of numbers. a third party has taken all the people who booked with them for the same cost i think. there is a phone number to call listed on another site (peoplesflag.com message board.... if i'm allowed mention another site!).

4 of us going to Israel match.

note that ticket applications to be into fai by tomorrow

Beavis, ya lazy sod, make up your own list. ;)


4 of us going.
3 from Dublin and myself from London.
They're going via Amsterdam and are spending a few nights there.
It will be interesting to see what state they're in when they arrive in Tel Aviv.

[Aldini98]

While youre there, ask the Israelis how they live with themselves, taking land that doesn't belong to them, etc ;)

[NOLANone]

2 of us travelling to Israel,

departing Dublin Thurs 24 March 07.00 hrs,
staying at Sheraton Hotel, central Tel Aviv.

I am leaving from Lisburn, Co. Antrim, on Wed 23 March and my friend and myself are staying at the Great Southern Hotel Dublin Airport. Our flight leaves early the next morning so we thought it was a good idea to stay the previous night and relax without worrying about missing our flight. I would be very keen to hear from any other Ireland fans with similar plans who want to meet up for a bit of craic and a few beers before we all jet off the next morning.

[Superhoops]

....note that ticket applications to be into fai by tomorrow

Tickets not likely to be a problem. From yesterday's Indo:

The FAI expects to have an allocation of 3,500 tickets for the World Cup qualifier against Israel in Tel Aviv on March 26 (Easter Saturday) but only 700 tickets will be available for the June 8 game in the Faroe Islands because of the capacity of the stadium in Torshaven is just 7,000.

Faores a different prospect. By the time officials, players and Treacy have their's not many left for the rest of us.

[Ash]

THE LIST
1 - Ash (on his own, Billy-no-mates) :D



Nah, a mate heading over with me so its Billy-1-mate :p

Looking like heading out 24th via Budapest, back 27th

[Peadar]

Looking like heading out 24th via Budapest, back 27th

Haven't had a backwards flag picture in ages. ;)

[Beavis]

Okay just scanned the Israel thread and theres two more which have confirmed there.
Slow2anger (say 2)
JGKyne (3)

That makes a total of 32 for foot.ie members and associates,just one less than the entire Swiss support for their Tel Aviv game! I'm going to estimate 1,300 - 1,500 for this game.Should be great,see yiz all out there...

heard that interest with package operators was quiet before christmas but picking up a fair bit now. reckon 1,500 max though myself. roughly same as basel last september so decent enough support

Ahh man, how romantic. So hows da family, your struggle's our struggle, no pasaran baby.


Is her good self ready for all this. :eek:

[Beavis]

According to a poster here (http://http://thepeoplesflag.com/web/messageboard.asp) the FAI have sold around 1000 tickets for the game.Probably will rise another 1 or 2 hundred in the next two months with people making last minute plans.Decent crowd,as expected for a relatively unnattractive fixture.

[soylent green]

The travel agents will also pick up a sizeable amount of tickets. Regulars with 747 travel get the tickets through that travel agent rather than through the FAI. I presume its the same with Ray Treacy travel et al.

my guess would be that the agents tickets are included in the 1,000 so far. still think the max going will be about 1,500 to 2,000 at the very most

[Peadar]

still think the max going will be about 1,500 to 2,000 at the very most

I'd agree with you there JB.
There's less than 2 months to go, allowing for a late surge of interest you're talking no more that 2,000 and that's being optimistic.

Don't know how many travelled to Lisbon the last time but the atmosphere was fantastic. We had 502 at Nantes for the Cork City game and made loads of noise. I think we'll make a great effort in Tel Aviv.
Loads of Rovers fans going and anytime I've met them away they've been leading the chants and songs.

[Green Tribe]

:( i cannot go to israel now, money probs, but i am saving to go to cyprus with my cousins :D so please all u guys going cheer and sing as loud as you can, we NEED to win this game, have lots of fun, enjoy the weather too, lucky!!! make sure u take lots of photos, i want to see what i missed out on!!
take care on the journey and hope all goes well.
xx julie

[eirebhoy]

we NEED to win this game
No we don't, i'd take a draw now.

[Green Tribe]

if those jammy swiss win their next game(in hand) there are 4 teams on 8 points, incl those israelis(how?) so we need to beat them at home, they might surprise us at home. i just don't want those jammy swiss sneaking infront of us again(euro04) :mad: i will be praying and sh*tting myself anyway throughout the game. :cool:

[/QUOTE]

I'm guessing reputation and all that. its just one of those things ye hear the odd time at Ireland games home or away when a group of Rovers fans are seen in a group. Heres trouble, theres that shower of x y and z. etc etc.... You'd never get that about other clubs fans. Personally I'd take it as a compliment :D

[Ash]

Just finalised my booking and payment so
its full steam ahead for the backwards flag

Went with the standup/e travel deal in the end cos the flight is
handier than the ones we were gonna book seperate with Malev
airlines.

[Peadar]

i just don't want those jammy swiss sneaking infront of us again(euro94)

I must have missed that while I was watching USA94! :confused:

Do your posts make sense to you Dav? :confused: :D


Trouble?? Please explain............

From reading your posts, you love to stir it.
No doubt your mates are just as bad.
Didn't mean it in an offensive way, just stuck it in.

Sorry about that.
Corrected now.
Bloody copy 'n' paste, you can't rely on it. ;)

kerr's tribe, you need to leave the "[/QUOTE]" at the end of any text you want to include.
i.e. The quoted text must be held between [QUOTE=Peadar] and what I've shown above.
Just a little tip.
I'm in a very pedantic mood today, sorry.

[Peadar]

make a Green-white-& Gold 'Star of David' :eek:

Or orange, even! ;)


Sorry for deviating here but out of boredom last Friday I told a young American girl that the orange in the Irish flag represented the people with ginger hair.
Once she bought this, I told her that the white represented their pale skin and the green represented their eyes.
That will teach her not to drink with Irish guys in Dublin. :D

[Hibs4Ever]

Meant 5 more THFC 'Yids' (Their name;Not mine!) Bhoys as it was :o Israel .....I was wondering if they would be ironic enough to make a Green-white-& Gold 'Star of David' :eek:


GOLD :confused: :confused:
