Yep - I did.
Home match is the priority and will be sorted later this week. Obviously its been complicated by the stub promise system.
As regards the away game, unless you go through the official Abbey Travel route where a ticket is guaranteed as part of their relationship with the FAI, you book your travel at your own (calculated) risk basically which is fair enough.
Who is this guy, Trapper Tony?
As a block booker who has applied for the Paris game - Anybody know when we can expect to hear if you will get tickets to the away leg?
obviously we all know the risks. i am not looking for a ticket guarantee but the sooner i know if i have been successful or not the sooner i can go looking elsewhere if i need to. my point was that block bookers and monty stub holders know a ticket is coming to them but those who applied for away tickets do not
Absolutely - Not to mention the cost of your digs (most can be cancelled in advance without cost) plus booze/food and general spending money.
If (God forbid) the tie was dead after the first leg - fairweather fans may well cut their losses. To be honest I dont think this will be the case though

We had over 30k fans in Paris the last time, thousands of fans that went to Italy and America, and the whole country partying and supporting from home, how many of them are hardenned fans?
Get over it guys, everyone is entitled to support in whatever way they like, the more the merrier, if we only ever had the seasoned supporters, we would miss out on some incredible atmospheres, like that in Paris before.
Listen - Im not one of these guys that bangs on about 'Real' fans or 'barstoolers' or 'fairweather' fans for that matter. The leprechaun outfits wouldnt be my cup of tea either. Im happy enough to support in my own way and I accept that there are 'fans' in all guises - I dont think I need to 'get over' anything. It was an off the cuff remark - nothing meant by it really.
For the record I'd take 300 in Latvia atmosphere on a par with 30,000 in Paris - The more doesnt always make it the merrier.

Ibaraki wc02 and sofia this year would be highlights. Bratislava 07 would be a low point, result wise and too much stag do antics by some.
