ham89 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 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. We were wedged between Poles in that game and there was no trouble at all. If anything, there was some good banter between us.At the end, everyone just smiled, said 'well played' and we all left.Mixed crowds aren't an issue imo.

Moo Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm on 7 points and I think I'll struggle to get a point for this. Anyway 4 of us booked up for this at just under £300 staying in Vilnius old town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California_Caley Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Geographical location limits me to about one away game a year, so I rarely have enough points to qualify for away game tickets through the Supporters' Club. As a result I almost always have to figure out home end solutions. Never had any bother so far. In fact the only bother I have been caught up in was in Italy and that was between factions of their own fans - they left me well alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pampered Adolescent Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I went to Skopje in 2008, and there were many of the TA who tried, and failed, to get into the home end. I was one of a handful who did. Everyone who bought a ticket at the local office was informed that we were buying at our own risk. I guess the Macedonian FA were happy to take the revenue, I think EUR 10 a ticket, ish. Some 20 to 30% of the TA were kilted up and many were singing the songs of the day; Doe A Deer, Comin' Down The Road, etc., on the march to the stadium. A few people were very drunk, though mostly people were merry, but fine. I was plain-clothed, armed with decent German, and carrying a Basler Kantonalbank ATM card. I duly got challenged, and explained in Swiss German that I was just here on holiday, my English is little, here is my bank card, etc. That my skin was the colour of the cross on the Saltire didn't seem to matter. So, I got in. No-one wearing any tartan got in the home end. I think in the pub debrief afterwards, there were maybe 5 or 10 of us who did get in. This would be my last away Scotland game. When I analysed the behaviour of the tartan lot, against how recently Macedonia was part of communist Europe, my love for the TA quickly evaporated. Another factor was the muppets at the SFA who allowed the scheduling of a competitive game in central Europe in September = 30+ degrees temperature. As others have mentioned, act sensibly, and you should stand a chance. Also, eastern Europe has changed a fair bit in the last nine years since my Skopje trip.
