Republic of Ireland V Russia, Saturday 6th September

[FourFiveOne]

Euro2004 Qualifier
Republic of Ireland V Russia
Saturday 6th September 2003
Lansdowne Road, Kick off 4pm.

City fans,

We have recieved the following message with regard to tickets for the upcoming game against Russia at Landowne Road.

First the good news - Supporters of eircom League clubs have been allocateda 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.

For anyone interested in attending the game please contact us by email, phone, text, or at the City game tomorrow and we will start compiling a list.

Obviously those who have attended one or all of the Albania/Georgia/Australia games will have a better chance, but hopefully everyone can be sorted.

Note: this initiative is designed to help the atmosphere at Lansdowne so anyone not prepared to sing and chant for 90 minutes might be in the wrong part of the ground!

Regards,
FFO

Still taking names but not for much longer...

Also to stress that part of the initiative this time is for tickets for the Turkey game the following Wednesday. The more people we get going to this the better for our next allocation of tickets.

The Turkey friendly could see the full international debut for a certain number 9 for Cork City? You'd have to be there for that...

Cheers,
FFO

Not nit picking here but the Turkey game isn't on Wednesday it's on Tuesday.
