Euro2004 Qualifier, Republic of Ireland V Russia, Saturday 6th September 2003 Lansdowne Road, Kick off 4pm.
First the good news - Supporters of eircom League clubs have been allocated a large number of North Terrace (bucket seats) tickets for this game and the friendly against Turkey a few days later.
The ticket prices for the games are Russia €25 and Turkey €15, (note the seating will still be in place for the Turkey game.)
The tickets will be allocated on a pro-rata basis dependent upon your take up for the last three games against Georgia, Albania and Australia but hopefully everyone can be accommodated.
The impact that this large grouping of the supporters of the domestic game has had at Lansdowne has been huge. No doubt you'll recall the Albania game where the atmosphere in the ground was electric with those in the Stands and South Terrace getting involved, participating in the singing and chanting.
We want to improve on this and your ideas are very welcomed on how this can be achieved.
The TIFO flags have generated much comment and ALL clubs/groups are especially asked to bring theirs along to the Russia game no matter what their colour. (Special arrangements will be made to ensure ease of access for the flag bearers).
Also, can you ensure that the large and small tricolours distributed to use are brought along so we can mark out our territory.
Finally, What I need from you now is an indication of the quantity of tickets you'll likely require ASAP, though I cannot promise you'll get the full amount.
Please get back to me with any queries you have.
Regards
John Barrington
