    It must be the 1% of the 1% of many fanbases.

    Whenever Ireland are in a world cup, people start saving from the qualifiers so the rich are definitely there but it’s die hard footie fans that make up the bulk traveling.

    It’s hard to overestimate just how much some people love the beautiful game. I remember the 2002 world cup which was in Korea / Japan and myself and my mates were getting up at unholy hours to watch all while murdering beers and screaming at the TV and I’m not even that into football.
