Hannibal Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) 51 minutes ago, Bob Loblaw said: I went to Bari with Scotland years ago and was next to the home fans with a bit perspex between us and it was pretty intimidating when they scored and started rattling it. Look forward to more of the same! What's the away allocated, about 2500 I'm sure I seen? I assume any of our fans without a ticket wouldn't be able to purchase a home end one? I was at that game too, there was a lot more than 2500 anyway, was directly behind the goal, the amount of police at that game was unreal, drink ban in Bari on the day of the game so everyone bought a carry out the day before and went to the beach on matchday. Was at the San Siro a few years earlier when Pirlo took us apart, all the Scotland fans were in the second and third tiers behind the goals as the italians fought in the lower tier, was the north against the south apparently with the police wading in with battons.

Sorry i meant away allocation at Fiorentina. Yeah there was about 8000 at the Scotland game i think. The drink ban was farcical. I asked for beer in a shop, the guy looked about shiftily before handing me a crate from under his counter haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really meant to stop ticket touts and the resale market . I've been to Rome a few times for rugby and had never heard of it. Until this year , I was stopped but I had my driving licence on me.

Perth to Paisley Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) 41 minutes ago, Perth to Paisley said: On the basis that 2500 is 2/3 of the Roseburn i would say its much smaller than that. Guessing at 1k Tickets are linked to a passport or ID so no chance purchasing a home ticket See https://footballtripper.com/italy/fiorentina-stadium/ Seating plan + tab Looks like they have another dedicated section os2 OS3 would give you a 'Meadowbank' view so maybe 2.5k is accurate.

Jambos_1874 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Desperate to go some of the away fixtures but it's tricky to know whether to book flights as I don't know if I'd get a ticket, particularly for the Riga match.

savage Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Think anyone who travels to any of the fixtures will get tickets no problem. Rfs have a tiny support and will play in the national stadium which holds 9500, fiorentina holds 40 plus and they average any 50% of that. Istanbul is 17500 and they average about 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckies1874 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Clearly they had to mess about with our group, I'm guessing due to other Turkish involvement on the Thursday as we play Istanbul match days 1 and 6 which is not what UEFA have in their own rules....... How does the group stage work? Teams in every group face each other home and away, with the same sides meeting on Matchdays 1 and 5, or Matchdays 2 and 6, or Matchdays 3 and 4. The top two clubs will continue their European campaigns in the new year: Group winners progress to the round of 16. Group runners-up go into the knockout round play-offs, where they will take on the third-placed UEFA Europa League teams for spots in the round of 16.
