Bannofan Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 https://www.espn.co.uk/football/fifa-world-cup/story/4787288/qatar-world-cup-pays-fans-flights-and-hotels-for-good-pr Apparently French and Belgian fans have been approached as well. Basically, in exchange for flights and accommodation they will post positivity on social media, and in a quite a sinister move, report with screenshots any tweets or posts they see with negative comments from fellow fans to the Qatari authorities. I hope our fans would have more about them to accept this obvious bribe to snitch on their fellow fans and be in the pocket of the Qatari Government.

sheffield_dave Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I mean isn't this essentially what they've also paid Beckham millions to do? This is a joke tournament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFCOwls Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 You’d be a fool to attend in my opinion There’s going to be trouble they’ll be itching to batter the cr@p out of anyone who goes against their BS religious beliefs esp English fans Stay home and have a few bets on it in the coziness of your living room.

Ever the pessimist Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I predict there’ll be no trouble whatsoever, but plenty of complaints about prices, accommodation and fan experience. The Qatari authorities will be keen not to come across as too oppressive during the tournament. Think it’ll be a poor spectacle too, with low quality games aplenty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to think what the quality will be like when the 2026 World Cup comes around with 48 teams competing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think attendances will be high but there will be a noticeable lack of commitment and quality from some sides. I really think an Asian or African team will go deep into this tournament. As for England fans going to this tournament, I've heard many expats from the middle east will be there, taking advantage of cheap internal flights. Fans going from this country to Qatar simply don't care about the human rights issues. I'm pretty sure they will be safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I think fans will be shuttled to and from hotels or designated areas, let into the stadium and taken back after. The only chance of any trouble will be the odd scuffle in a hotel bar, if some ******** gets aggressive after a beer cos someone’s foreign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen about the price of beer (if you can call Budweiser beer) the fans will be skint before they've supplied enough to get aggressive.
