Well done Neil!.......are you a mathematics teacher?

**NeilMcD** · 24/09/2009, 8:52 AM

Those calculators come in handy.

I'm a bit annoyed at this whole buying the pair thing. I mean, not every fan has the finance to fork out for two sets of tickets, especially at that price.

**gspain** · 25/09/2009, 10:02 AM

Usually the way. Fair play to the FAI in my view.

You're either a supporter of the team or your not. There's a better chance that genuine fans will buy the tickets in a package rather than bandwagoners who sit down and keep quiet for the boys in green.

People seem to be getting over hyped for Italy which could be a dead rubber. Monty may be the more important match in the end. Especially if we need a win to make the play-offs.

I don't go to every game, since I can't afford it, but I am as much a supporter as someone who goes to every game and I'd like to actually be at a game here or there when I have time and can afford it. The package thing and this buying in bulk thing is simply something that caters to the richer elements of Irish society. Are you telling me that just because you can't afford to go to every game, you aren't a real supporter? Nonsense!

In any case, what's wrong with wanting to go see the Ireland versus Italy game? If you're in a situation where you can't always afford to go to every game, what's wrong with wanting to see Ireland play Italy? Sounds like a case of fan-snobbery to me.

I know its very expensive to go to games esp for someone who is livin up in Derry. You need to pay for petrol or for a bus down and hotel probably too and then match tickets also. Not only that if its a Wednesday you would need to take 2 days off work if you worked 9-5 type job. It is tough.

Although I will say that it is all to do with priority etc. There have been times I have stayed in for weeks on end so I could go to an Ireland away game. I was talking to a guy who was on the **** once saying that he could not afford the tickets for the home games as he sank another pint. Now nothing wrong with that, and we all have the freedom to spend the money as we wish but dont go on the lash and then say that you cant afford to go to games.

Good call Neil
A guy at work asked me how the hell do I manage to aford to go on so many football trips .
Easy I told him I don't go to the pub hardly at all these days and I work whatever overtime is going . I told him he should try it instead of bitching about lack of money for a change .

Spot on. And I've been going for years. As long as the regular fans don't miss out.....

We haven't had a home qualifier in months. If you wanted to save �20 a month between the last game and this one you'd have the money. Like Neil and Claret said, if you want to go, you'll make the sacrifices.

The package deal helps to pay for items such as the rental of Croke Park, paying Trappatoni, developing the game etc etc.
