Scotland supporters in Celje last week.
The following is
from an e-mail written to the Tourist Association of Celje concerning
the arrival of Scottish fans for a match against Slovenia. (Scotland
won 3-0.)

Subject: Scotland fans in Celje
Can you tell me the names of some of the places in Celje that sell
alcohol. Pubs/Clubs and shops. This may seem like a strange request but
it is important that these places buy extra supplies. In France 1998
during Scotlands visit to St Ettiene the town ran out of alcohol on
more than one occasion. I think Celje is smaller and all too often when
we travel to places they think that the purchase of an extra bottle of
vodka will suffice and that they know best… until they run out of
course. It may be easier if you pass this message on to them. It is
also preferable to some people that bottled beer is bought by customers
by the crate to save the hassle of queues developing. This is also a
great opportunity for bars to make large profits.
Can you supply a separate list of bars/clubs/shops that are open 24hrs.
Some fans may stay in a bar until the 0450hrs train leaves for
Ljubljana. Of course some may prefer to get a later train if the bar is
still open.
Oh and some of the bars will need to have extra staff. All too often we
have fans behind the bar serving drinks because the locals haven’t made
proper staffing provision for our arrival. This is the largest
travelling support in Europe. If you are in any doubt and need advice
about what to expect please phone St Ettienne.
Good luck.
Dave

oh great the lovely and historic town of Celje is to be visited by
drunken soccer louts in a nonexistant National Costume demanding
unreasonable quantities of alchol! joooooj!
Katja dear, they already WERE there (beat our team 3-0), and apparently the town survived. Anyone from Celje can do a damage report?
Apparently a good time was had by all. It’s not like when Germans arrive and go beserk and stuff. They even charmed some of the local ladies. (And some more pics, courtesy of Domen)
It should be said that at least our lot seemingly politely prepare your establishments in advance. ;) [And, I would assume, hopefully do very little damage whilst there.] If it had been the English, you could rest assured parts of Celje would now be in ruins.

Daniel brings up a very good point.We’re Coming.We’re Drinking.We’re Paying.Were Leaving. We may be wearing skirts. And all of the minimal needs are being requested in advance.Sounds like the perfect house guests to me. I won’t be dithering around trying to think how to keep them happy.
Daniel, leave it out. "If it had been the English, rest assured part of Celje would now be in ruins." That’s a load of rubbish, and just something that the Scots say to try and make up for the fact that they are shit at football. "Oh, it’s ok that we’re shit and England qualify for virtually every tournament, because at least we don’t smash up stuff like they do." Once again, it’s rubbish. The media creates a reputation which means that at any away game all the local idiots come out and try to provoke a situation or to try themselves against the ‘hardcore’, meaning that the England fan gets a shitty name because men in skirts will tell anyone with ears that all Englishmen are hooligans. Scotland, you are small, jealous, and most of all… shit at football. By the way, remember this (http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/940000/images/_941825_33scotland300.jpg
