Email today stated still waiting on confirmation from Lithuania fa regarding ticket allocation. I don't know anyone who's been ticket less at an away match miss oot yet though.

MeadowArab Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It's very small. It's also astro turf. No doubt that will be used as an excuse if we lose or draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm planning on going in the home end. First time doing it for an away game. Getting there seems to be the main problem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Anyone below 8 points has no chance of an away ticket I'd guess. Not sure how easy it would be getting a home end ticket either due to the size of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are in the SSC then you can phone up as soon as away end tickets have sold out and ask to be put on the waiting list for when people cancel after being selected for pick up. They seem to do this in order of when you contact them rather than points order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Would going in the home end stop Lithuanian supporters getting tickets? How would anyone have felt if England suporters had done that at Hampden last week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no double standards unless you can find the exact same posters from this thread complaining about the same thing elsewhere. Are you suggesting this or have you seen posts by other posters annoyed at this, applied that to this thread and then created some sort of collective double standards by the forum which is just odd? I don't care enough either way to say if it's ok or not for any supporter to sit in the opposition end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 So you are happy to break the published rules and for others to so when it suits them? Depends. If people are well-behaved and don't act like arseholes then I think it's ok and can add to the atmosphere a wee bit. Having the Belgians in the home end at Hampden a few years back was no problem at all due to the fact they didn't make themselves a problem. The Poles were terrible. Setting off and chucking flares while in the home end and just acting like arseholes. In the Ireland game at Park Head I thought the atmosphere was pretty poisonous, but it could've been largely avoided if the SFA gave Ireland more tickets.

I'm certain that there'll be pished Scottish fans who'll rub the Lithuania fans up the wrong way. If you go in the end of the opposite team then you have to be prepared to sit on your hands for the duration of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the desire completely, but the segregation rules are not very flexible. If you buy a ticket for the home end are those that bought them prepared to be turned away, or get lifted?

Nightmare Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Heard there's been bother on both our recent trips to Lithuania. Scotland fans getting jumped or robbed. Game is in Vilnius this time, so maybe that's a different case to the previous trips to Kaunas, but good luck to anyone planning on going in the home end.

forameus Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I've only ever sat in the home end once and that was at Cardiff thanks to a mate who was living down there. They weren't really happy when he went to collect them with his Scottish accent, but with his Welsh address (and Welsh father, not that it matters) they gave him them. I was very conscious that we weren't amongst friends, and a couple of rows in front there were a group of about 6 fans that looked like they'd missed a few evolutionary steps and promptly picked a fight with a few of their fellow fans (they unfurled a huge banner after a few minutes about a missing kid, and when asked to take it down because no-one could see, they suggested that everyone else supported child murder. Honestly.). When we scored, celebrating inwardly obviously, but managed to behave myself. Unlike a guy on his own in the block across who celebrated wildly and then gave the come ahead to the group in front. Unfortunately when Bale mugged us off later in the game, said group left their seats and charged at the guy. They were only stopped by the kettling the stewards were performing around the guy, which remained until he left the stadium. So I don't see a problem with it if people don't act like complete dicks. We didn't exactly snap up tickets when they went on sale, so we were taking ones that no-one had been previously interested in. Don't believe it was a sell-out either. Got talking to the row in front after the game who were really nice guys (admitted Bale had dived and usually did) and it was a great night out in Cardiff with some others.
