CWC1983

Sorry, £270 in total. They went Cat 3 for all 3 games. Look at the difference in prices for a normal group game and the opening game.......absolute rip off. They got 2 x 60 euros and 1 at 195 euros.

Scotland fan, didn't get any tickets via official SFA allocation. They sold out at 9 points, I have 8. The prices for the Germany game was ridiculous, top price was 800 euros, then 600 euros, then 195. My mates got the 3 group games for 270 euros in total. We are in dusseldorf for 7 nights then Mannheim for 5. I think hotels are £1k in total and I grabbed a flight from Heathrow months ago for £133 one way to Dusseldorf. Hopefully I'll pick up a ticket in the next Uefa ballot, or failing that the resale app in the spring. If not, fan parks and local pubs will do the job.

I've a flight to dusseldorf booked on 14th and banked on not getting drawn to play Germany on the opening game...... that didn't work out well. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Oh well, I'll watch it in dusseldorf instead. Cologne and Stutgart for the next 2 games should be good. I see England are in Frankfurt and Cologne, so no doubt I'll get a chance to have a beer or 2 with my English friends. 🙂 The 4 teams in the group are all much of a muchness. The 2nd game v the Swiss will be crucial.

Remember going to Maksimir stadium to see Scotland Croatia circa 2014. Fans were great, drinking with the Croats outside the stadium in a fan zone, brothers in arms etc. Got inside the national stadium and it was like a building site in the concourses. Portaloo's, crumbling concrete and uncovered wires galore. Don't envy English fans abroad, they are always seen as fair game.

This might sound weird but I'm glad we didn't win today. Leuge cup final in 3 weeks and there's no way we are winning it by beating them 3 times in a row. That's us getting horsed 5 0 in the final now.....😆

I'm biased, but that's a pen.

I'd completely forgotten about them. There's my childhood memories brought back in an instant. There were a bit fragile, but my word so tasty.

It's going to be a mad scramble for accommodation and tickets once the draw is made next month. Just hope we avoid England or Wales so that we aren't all going for similar flights, hotels, tickets. We reckon 9.5k tickets per nation per match. My priority points are going to too low to get tickets via the SFA. I stupidly didn't buy a home season ticket for the last 2 campaigns because the majority of the games were on days like Monday night, Thursday night, Sunday nights etc. Its not easy travelling from Leicestershire to Glasgow when it's not a Friday or Saturday game.

Over the border we have "chippers" that offer far more options than down here. I yearn for White puddings, red puddings, mealie puddings,Macaroni pie, mince and Tattie pie, chip steaks, king ribs, mock chops. Haddock without the skin, lemon sole, turbot. It helps living by the North Sea. A bit further south and you are into Pizza crunch territory.

applied for 4 in the group stages, didn't get any.

It didn't sound that loud when watching it live earlier. No surprise, it will get that reaction every year. I'd imagine Celtic are one of the few clubs without the poppy on the shirt this year.

Players on their knees. 5 away games in a row and the Thursday euro games have caught up with us. The break can't have come at a better time. Definitely need better performances from now to the end of the season, it's been hard work in the league so far.

If only evey game was like that, excellent entertainment for the neutral. How bad is Mudryk? He's a Pepe type singing. Bentancur being back will help Spurs, classy player.

So its your fault I can't get a beer at the game at Hampden on Saturday? ....😁. By the time I get the train from Loughborough at 6am I'll be gasping for a shandy when I get into Central station. It's so antiquated, clubs are missing out on some much needed revenue.

Had to stop the game on police advice as the fire alarms went off. Wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a clampdown by Police Scotland over the next few weeks. Ironically, Dundee stewarding / policing is the closest to jobsworth / over the top you will find in Scotland. They will be embarrassed this has happened at Dens.

I've applied for 4 matches within the first 10 days. Apparently each game has been oversubscribed by 3m 🤣🤣. I'm not holding my breath.

NZ lack of a decent kicker killed them. Whether it was off the tee or finding touch, Barrett had at least 20m further up the touchline to go for every penalty. Well done SA, can't argue with back to back world cups.

Surely game over. I guess that's what forward dominance pressure does.

Nz playing into SA hands here.

It was their UK business partner that was speaking about it on Sacked in the morning. Reading between the lines, they have chosen the English leagues for the long game and the media exposure that English leagues get. It all helps with the TV show. An Ireland or Scotland team would be a 3 season story at best. Then they are stuck with a club, 5kt fans, the media lost interest and no one willing to buy it off them. With Wrexham, get to the Prem and there's 5 years of a story, mega prize money and an option to sell to the Saudis......or whoever. Let's not kid ourselves it's all about business, and let's see how keen they are to pump money in if they spend 3 years in Div 2.

25, full house. I did have 3 attempts at the Boro player and 2 at the Sheff Wed one.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Booked hotel today and applied for tickets on the UEFA website around Dusseldorf/ Frankfurt / Dortmund area during the 1st week of the tournament. I'll just fly in and out for the quarter and semi finals...😁

Easily the best 30 mins of rugby I've seen.

What a powerful start from France.
