We have just been informed that Block Bookings
for the 2010 World Cup campaign will be £160
for Kop / North Stand Upper. Family Enclosure will
be £110, however, there is a chance that the
IFA will charge adults with Family Enclosure tickets
the full £160.
Payment at the moment seems to be late April 2008.
However, the Amalgamation of Northern Ireland Supporters
Club is trying to get it extended until the end of
June. The IFA for some reason seem to want the full
payment in one go which the Amalgamation are against.

Happy New Year from the Bangor NISC. Unfortunately,
Northern Ireland did not make it to the finals of the
European championships this year, so we’ll just
pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and start all
over again.
The draw for the 2010 World Cup Qualifiers means that
all the away matches are within relatively easy reach,
which gives us an excuse for at least one other Club
Trip. The actual fixtures will be decided some time
this month so things should be clearer by the time the
Club AGM come around in February.
If any members have any suggestions as to how they would
like to see the Club or the website develop, please
send us an e-mail with your thoughts.
