;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D What a bunch of toy tankers!

Now if they'd offered a free ticket to A Night in November for every ticket purchased for the game :D

And we are expected to share a state of the art stadium with these numpties? ::)

Wow. New computer system experiences teething troubles. Who'd a thought, eh?  :o

Still, it's not like as if the IFA is accepting cash at the gate, bundling it up into bags and giving it to the Treasurer to take home in his car, thereby risking being followed, robbed and beaten...

Brilliantly 5ivetimes, you've actually managed to post the same article Tony linked to. People in glass houses, eh? :D

And now that you've seen that NI matches do sell out and that there's more demand than supply for tickets, even for a match against Liechtenstein, are you going to retract, or apologise for, this?

I, like many others on this board, do not know one single person who goes to NI games, catholic or protestant. The empty stands are testament to that fact.

NI matches sell out?
Maybe for glamour games like England and Spain, but for normal games the place is rarely if ever full. Dream on, first sectarianism is a myth and now you are playing to packed houses.

Looks like they have come up with an even better way to make money, by selling the same seats twice.

Up to 200 loyalist supporters were left fuming after a computer c**k-up on the new on-line system meant dozens of sought after seats for the big game were sold TWICE by the Irish FA.

Catch yourself on.

There are far, far more than 200 loyalists at the norths games.

The IFA have a new system which screwed up things for a bit, they did what they could to fix it and took care of the supporters as well as could be expected given the circumstances.

That said yer mans statement is a tad testy and I am sure some people were not happy with the outcome, some people you can never please.
