On a plus point, it’s much closer to Budapest...

ridiculous decision. What was the allocation last time? I'm absolutely stunned. We might get 1500 I suppose but I cant go anyway. Cant travel until the Saturday morning and could get to Zagreb or Split but not much further with it being a 3pm kick off. Not that I'd get a ticket anyway. |

5% = 943
10% = 1,886
Allocation will be somewhere within those 2 figures I'd imagine?

Wikipedia has 18,856 as the total capacity, 17,876 as the seated capacity so it's even less seats. 5% of 17,876 is 893. 10% is 1,787 But Wikipedia says they have good attendances at the stadium so wouldn't be sure of their FA giving us extra tickets. 16,000 watched the last friendly there in June last year against Senegal and can't imagine that number has a lot of away fans. Granted that's in the build up to a tournament but that's still worrying for extra allocation for us. |

Think the FAW will need to clear up our allocation pretty quickly before people start forking out for travel.

Pissed off to say the least... getting a ticket is borderline now for me. Needed 1800 to feel certain bit less than 1000 No chance..

We should play the home game at Farrar Road, the bastards. Seriously though I wonder what motivates them to do this. I always knew there was a bit of risk of our game being downgraded due to two of their games being against neighbours. But why put us in such a small stadium and miss the chance to welcome many more visitors to their country.
I assume that we've given them an indication of the travelling numbers and they've chosen to completely disregard and disrespect our support.

This is my take on it, but then doesn’t make sense why we played them there twice before when much lower down the rankings? |

If I don’t get match tickets then there are basically two options
1 - spend 3-4 hours travelling each way to Osijek in the, probably vain, hope of getting tickets
2 - stay in Zagreb, do a bit of sightseeing and find a pub with like minded people.
I think I am going to go for option 2 if tickets are not possible (I reckon we have about a 40% chance).

Faw know the minimum tickets we can get so should now release criteria for tickets. Any more is a bonus which will be snapped up. At least people can make plans. Think we will be 1 or 2 short in our group of 7
