    I'm bringing the missus to see this game. I keep telling her, she will never see a stadium like this in Sweden (The only thing I get to slag the Swedes about regarding football unfortunately )

    I really hope there is a good crowd there.
    I think I should the parachute, because I'm great.

    In fact, I think I should get both parachutes, in case one doesn't work.

    Very true, its a perfect opportunity for people who find it difficult to get tickets to Ireland games to come along cos there's loads floating around. Considering that Cyprus will return most of their allocation, the fai should consider gifting those tickets to school kids etc, would be great PR and would let loads of kids to see Ireland play for the first time.

    I think the crowd on wed will depend alot on how we do on sat.

    Spot on, the way the FAI sold these tickets ensured that the cyprus match was a sell-out (Bar the tickets the cypriots sent back), so people cant complain about not being able to afford a ticket since they are already paid for. Whoever turns up on saturday and isnt arsed to do the same doesnt deserve a ticket.

    Yes, people are fickle, but if they don't want to continuously shell out good money to sit through the dross that's been served up by the Irish team over the last few years, who can blame them?

    would people actually only turn up for one game? If so it's disgusting.

    People pay their hard earned money for a ticket its up to them what they do with it.
    Especially after spending 2000eur trekking across four countries last month to see that shambles.

    If I choose not to go on Wednesday, I will give my ticket away to one of the kids on my team.

    The thought of Delaney using my attendance as affirmation of his success sickens me.

    It will depend on how depressed I get on Saturday (no pun intended Daddy Dick).

    There's a lot of Cyprus spares around so I'm guessing by the start of next week people will be cutting their losses and you'll get a couple of tickets for the price of one. I suppose you could PM everyone with spares here and see if anyones open to selling cheaper than face value?

    we all spent big money goin on the away trips, support shouldnt be conditional, the team gave 100%, its just our mishap of a manager..dont try and justify your non attendance as a method to disregard delaneys tenure...the team needs our support more than ever

    I know I'll be there, supporting the team, as I was after we drew at home to Norway and got hammered by Denmark at home in 84/85, as I was after every other debacle since, as I was when we beat Brasil in 87 when only 17000 of the Greatest Fans in the World turned up !

    And I seriously doubt that EVERY player gave 100% in Bratislava & Prague - Keane ? McGeady ? O'Shea ?

    You could try Manchester City, they've definitely got at least one!

    If there are 50,000 there on Wednesday night, it'll be a great crowd for a game againt Cyprus. It's just unfortunate that the stadium will look half empty. You can't help the fact that some teams are bigger draws that others.
