    Friendly VS Poland in November announced

    Makes sense, large Polish community here will sell a lot of tickets, like the China game a few years back.
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    Probably not that many left, but I was talking to a few lads from Ukraine and the majority at the match were living in Ireland(drogs match) so maby a good proportion will stay.

    Good friendly actually.

    Think it's November the 19th which is a Wednesday.

    In fairness friendlies are pretty lame and I tend to avoid them. Give me a competitive game v Andorra rather that a friendly game against Brazil any day. No doubt there'll be a good crowd of Poles there - christ their women are amazin' maybe I will pop along afterall!

    And on a personal level they're everywhere, often I'd see more Polish people than I would Irish on some days.

    Where are you getting your statistics from?
    How can you tell just by looking at them? I think a lot of people see someone that looks a bit Eastern European and has a strange accent and assume Polish, don't forget the Lithuanian, Slovakian, Ukranian and other communities here too. Poland is experiencing a rapidly growing economy and building boom and large numbers are returning home, the majority never intended to settle here.

    Either way it looks like a decent fixture and should draw a good crowd.

    It will be the first time two international sides have both played at home.

    I'd say USA v Mexico in LA would have more 'away' fans.

    Plus dont forget 91 when we outnumbered England fans at Wembley.

    We didn't come even close to outnumbering them that night. We got 6,000 tickets if I recall correcly and could have sold several multiples of that but we were well outnumbered. They setup different ticket sales for the Irish in Britain and only sold a handful of tickets that way but managed to exclude thousands of Paddys who dientified themselves as away fans and thus missed out on home tickets.

    I know time does play tricks with the memory but I thought we had outnumbered the English that night as well ... I wasn't there - just remember watching on TV the mass of green in the stands at Wembley. We did receive a paltry official allocation but I'm sure quite a few 'home' tickets went to Irish supporters. I remember them saying that - based on the number of applications received - Wembley could have been sold out three times over.

    I was behind the goal that Quinn scored into along with all the other 'official' Irish. When the goal went in, 3/4 of the people in the 'stand' to our right jumped up and cheered. I was living in London at the time and everyone I knew had a ticket for the game.

    Think I got 12 tickets from the FAI that night. Those were the days.
