But maybe the place is a lot bigger than I remember. I think that will be it at reduced capacity, had a look through fanzones from previous Euro’s and the smallest were 30ishK. Edit - if you look at the other thread, I am unfortunately completely wrong. Edited April 15, 2021 by No_Problemo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Are fanzones any good? I've always imagined them to be like the worst parts of festivals - long queues, shite and expensive pints and drunken arseholes everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Mata Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Are fanzones any good? I've always imagined them to be like the worst parts of festivals - long queues, shite and expensive pints and drunken arseholes everywhere. My personal experience was that they are fine and a great way to see the game with thousands of other people. Like anywhere, if there are annoying people it was solved just by moving ten metres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fans zones at the World Cup in Russia were the opposite of that in the main even on the day Russia played Spain we were in the main fan park in Moscow less than 1/2 a mile from the ground with 80,000 at both venues and it was superb. The pints were cheaper than the pubs and they had so many vendors the queues were not too bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Enjoyed the fan zones in Paris at the last Euros, can’t remember the pints being wildly expensive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I went to one in Budapest for the Wales vs Portugal semi in 2016 when a group of County fans were over there for our pre-season matches. It was pretty good fun, but the beer prices were a rip off compared to the usual dirt cheap prices in Hungary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to world cup in 98 we bought bottles of wine in plastic bottles from corner shops for 70p Utterly revolting but got you very gassed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in fanzones in Paris and Bordeaux in 1998, they were definitely the next best way to watch the games if you couldn't be there and in some ways might have been better. The 7 minutes from Collins' equaliser against Brazil until half time stand out as a great memory. I wouldn't travel just for a fanzone though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Now that it's a popular thing for moronic dickheads to do, you'll be soaked in beer if we score, after said moronic dickheads chuck their pints all over the place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr23 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Well that's the returns period ended. We'll hopefully hear something next week about what's happening. 53 days left until Czech Republic at Hampden and nobody actually has a ticket! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 What an embarrassment for the Irish to be the only host who cannot hold games. I wonder if that would have been us if we had not won the shoot out in Belgrade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
