I got the same for both games even though I am a block booker.
It wouldn't be the case that eircom League block bookers are treated as less important than others on the list, would it:confused: Surely the FAI wouldn't do something like that...? :rolleyes:
Yeah I have received the same "Dear John" letters for both matches!:(:(
I think everybody will get this letter whether they are a block booker or not as a point of info. If you are not a block booker dont expect a form and if you are , do a expect a form is the way I would read it.
I sent an e-mail a couple of weeks ago stating that I was a block booker through ShelbourneFC and if I would also get preference,, and they replied saying that only block-bookers directly through the FAI shall get preference. Not looking good!!!!
Just sent an e-mail complaining about this, won't make any difference, will it?
From that can we take it that the game looks likely to be in Bratislava not Trnava ?
I wouldn't take anything from that tbh. They probably know as much as us as to where the game will be.
Anyone know the name of the scouse printer who organised the "extra" tickets for Athens?;)
well those near the top of the fai waiting list who took tickets for croke park (i'm at about 1,000 on the waiting list) aren't being offered the chance to apply for tickets. i reckon there should be no bother getting in the home end though.Quote:

How do you find out where you are on the list?Quote:

Lets hope to god the game is not in Trnava. They have a very nasty ultras group who will cause trouble. Do not sit in the home end if we play there.Quote:

Bratislava aint much better from what I have heard. All in all, I think this is an away game at which we should all be in the away end only.
On tickets. I honestly, dont know what to do. I am a BB and am submitting an application but expect nothing from the FAI as the travel agents are obviously going to get most of the tickets in our end (even though the dont get the from the FAI of course). They are selling their packages with guaranteed irish section tickets already.
Does anyone know whether there was any trouble at recent home matches?Quote:

I've never seen anything but good reports from Celtic fans that went to Bratislava a couple of years ago. No trouble, cheap drink, nice girls...
Well that's not really "news".;)................was there any reported trouble when Slovakia played Germany last Autumn...........anyone know what the attendance was......how many German fans there?:confused:Quote:

What are the other options? Watch in a bar? I think the FAI should consider giving some priority to the fans who go to all the away games and who aren't BBers as well. Giving tickets to BBers makes sense but it makes me sick seeing so many sponsors and travel agents getting so many. The prices of some of the package holidays are an absolute joke and at the end of the day, the FAI have a responsibility to show some loyalty to us as wellQuote:
