Did I read somewhere on here that the only way to the stadium is by organised coach to / from Athens ?

I'm not getting on a coach from here to Athens.

Goughy will be doing one.

I meant to / from Athens as the ground is actually in Piraeus.

If anyone does want to do that, Latif coaches of Sparkbrook have a fleet of ten.

I didn’t really see any real issues either and there was much less antagonism from rival fans than after many premier league games. I heard that some Lille fans came into a bar on Wednesday night and started to kick off and the police quickly arrived, asked no questions and tear gassed the bar.

All in all it was a cracking trip and most of the people we met were lovely.

There was no real bother from what I saw and the Lille fans were generally very friendly albeit they were a bit pissed off after the game.  I think Olympiacos will be a bit tougher.  This is travel advice from a West Ham site:

Are betting sponsors banned in Greece? I'd prefer to lift this trophy with Acorns on the front of our shirts than BK8.

I don't know about shirt sponsors but we are restricted from betting online with UK bookies.

Wasn't there someone killed before one of the qualifiers this season. Dinamo Zagreb were the away team, I think.

Are you referring to the aek athens fan that was stabbed to death when hooded zagreb fans went to the stadium with bats and knives?

Was there more than one fan killed before a qualifier against Zagreb this season?

According to this only 13 fans have died since 1983.

I doubt it being as we have a Greek betting sponsor from next season. (Although they don't sponsor any Greek teams but that might be more down to not wanting to be seen as a supporter of one of them).

I was looking online to see if we have ever played olympiakos and this looks like the 1st ever meeting between the clubs
