Because of that every little detail counts. Little victories, even in fixtures negotiation, mean a lot. The FAI insisted that Irish fans will not be ripped off at away venues, as has happened in the past and so the ticket price must be the same for both sets of fans. For those who travel and get behind the boys in green that's important as is the fact that none of the countries we visit should be too hot, or too cold, when we get there.
Hint small island in the Med charging visiting fans 3-4 times the home fans.
This is actually contrary to UEFA rules anyway. Wales even did it to us.
Wales charged us the sterling equivalent of what we charged them. We charged them the same prices of the home tickets for temporary seats miles away from the pitch.Quote:

Are they any further from the pitch than seats down the other end? It doesn't look like they are.Quote:

Double headers generally means you can get it all over and done with on one trip. Dublin, Riga Tiblisi, Talinn, Dubrovnik, Montenegro and Dubrovnik, to me that is the stuff of dreams for and Ireland trip.
