You got to love this man's initiative.

Donegal man Seán Gallagher is one of thousands of Irish fans in Bordeaux having the craic, but he has one small problem... he has no ticket for the Belgium game. Seán was at the Sweden match and has secured a ticket for Ireland's final group game against Italy, but Saturday's meeting with the Belgians in Bordeaux is proving bothersome for the Donegal native. However, he has come up with a plan. Seán has made this sign, which he is walking around Bordeaux with, and has more than just money to give to whoever is willing to sell him that all important ticket. Take a look. Bordeax sign That's right, Seán is willing to hand over cash, along with beer agus a song of the person's choice (Seán told us that he can count to 27 Gary Breens!) The effort is paying off, as Seán explained to JOE: "I put the sign together just a while ago and have had three negotiations so far, so the sign is working! "But, the cheapest I have been quoted so far is €275, which is out of my price range. "I've been getting compliments all day for taking the initiative from the Irish and promise to pass on the signage if I get lucky!" Somebody get this dedicated man a ticket, for heaven's sake!
