" It's hellish - There were 13 of us from Wales on that flight having The same issue, and trying to prove that we had been approved to travel, even though The App still said The permit was pending.
" People have had emails saying that their cards were valid, only to find when they get to The Airport that they have been refused entry".
'Money wasted'Mr Price said many people are unhappy, especially due to The financial losses.
" I think this must be happening on a much wider scale than What Happened to us This Morning , and I expect this might continue all morning as more Fans attempt to travel over to Doha for The Game , " he added.
" The Red Wall will be smaller, I'm sure hundreds of Fans might be faced with missing The Game .
The Bbc is not responsible for The content of external sites." It's not secret that it's expensive to come Out Here , we will have Lost Everything .
" To be fair no insurance company would cover this, it's The individual's responsibility to check that they've got The paperwork in order. The Money will be wasted, The tickets and flights were very expensive.
" With The Next game happening next week, I'm checking The Hayya card all The Time , but it still isn't working This Morning . "
