[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Quarter finalists and their ground capacity according to Wiki

Fenerbahçe (50,530)
Fiorentina (43,147)
PAOK Salonika (28,701)
Viktoria Plzen (11,700)
Aston Villa
Club Bruges (29,042)
Lille (50,186)
Olympiakos (33,334)

I've been to two matches at Fiorentina and, although it is obviously a truly, staggeringly beautiful city, the stadium is a terrible place to watch football. It's bad enough in the home end, but the away end will be like that caged enclosure at Mostar, only a bit bigger, and probably further from the pitch.

Sounds like Maine Road in the 1970s.

Aren’t Fiorentina supposed to be some of the most hostile fans in Italy?

Lille have a nice stadium. Easy to get to but they are not a bad side so might want to avoid them next.

Was thinking about this on the walk back to the car tonight.  Might it be better to play so.e of the better teams left in the tournament over two legs rather than in a one-off game if we got to the final?

Viktoria Plzen please, let’s keep it as easy as possible.

It's a bit out of town from memory. Great night there in 2016 at the Euros!

[Brazilian Villain]

Viktoria Plzen please, let’s keep it as easy as possible.

Having looked at the remaining teams, that's probably right.

And with the obvious difference that Manchester was a shit tip by comparison

The second leg of the next round will be our 100th game in Europe if we include the the World Club Cup game v Penarol in 1982.

[Chico Hamilton III]

Viktoria Plzen please, let’s keep it as easy as possible.

Also the home of Pilsner, potential to be a great couple of days away.

[Demitri_C]

You just know its gonna be fenebache or fiorentina away.

I think PAOK olympiakos and brugge all beatable. But vitoria would be the one we want just to help in the league.

Lille decent side could be a tricky tie.

Only down side is that it’s a rather tiny stadium. Great square though surrounded by bars serving the best beers in the world.

We should be beating any of the teams left in this competition over 2 legs

On paper yes. But im sure teams like lille fiorentina and fenebache feel the same

Lille please, so we get another 2500ish tickets, and a doddle to get to.
