Said in the OT thread a lot of games don't seem to have sold out but the attendances should be ok Its who is attending that will be different, there are 250k brits who like in dubai, 5k British businesses out there I'm lazily guessing the western expats in the middle East who do alright for themselves out there will make up the majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being right before Christmas surely isn't ideal for many. Think they'll do like at the Olympics in China and bring in people on free tickets to fill up the stadiums. Won't look good on TV if the stadiums are half full. Been a couple articles about people from Pakistan given tickets and accommodation (and even pay) to come in and be fans. I imagine there will be the same from African nations where they give away tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2022 Yeah I imagine they'll bus people in. But there's predicted to be 1.2m people coming to Qatar for the tournament. So there's plenty of people going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 My best mate lives in Qatar so I'm going to stay with him for the quarters and see a couple of games. Hopefully one of them is England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I typed out a joke which began 'I heard that . . .' and then the entire plot synopsis of Home Alone 3, and then I checked IMDb and realised the kid's name isn't even Kevin in that one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have gone with you Hanoi. This is VT we look after each other! "He's one of our own, HanoiVillan, he's one of our own." Who am I trying to kid? Actually it would have been at tops, 4 minutes before some pedant pointed out the kid in Home Alone 3 wasn't called Kevin. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
