England fan Paul Clegg also revealed his own issues with accommodation booking, saying: "I've just booked a room for the first four nights and I am paying a lot for it.
"I haven't found any reasonably priced options, so I am not sure where will I be staying after that."
In BBC's report detailing the crisis fans are facing, Qatar's Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy said they would be providing 130,000 rooms by the time the tournament rolls around.

However, the country had just 30,000 hotel rooms available in March, with 80 per cent of these already being taken up by the numerous football organisations and partners involved.

These include shared rooms in villas, apartments, tents and a pair of luxury cruise vessels which will be docked at Doha's port.
