Slovakia game maybe moved
The Slovakian FA are trying to get the game against Ireland on October 12th moved from Bratislava to Zilina.
Zilina is 125km from Bratislava.
Tehelné Pole Stadion, Bratislava has a capacity of 30,000, while Pod Dubnon Stadion, Zilina has a capacity of 11,100.
Using the 10% rule this would mean a reduction from 3000 to 1000 tickets for Irish fans, as well as causing problems for those who have booked flights and hotels. Slovakia had been looking at other options as the stadium in Bratislava is being rebuilt. The FAI reckon that Slovakia confirmed the game originally as Bratislava. NEWS - 12 August 2010
