Champions League - PSG

[VillaTim]

There's a cap of 70 Euros for away tickets, I don't think there's a cap for home but I assume we'll be £60-70 for standard adult tickets.

When tickets in the upper north are best part of £70 for Wolves I can easily see another £20-£30 on top of that for Bayern, Juve and probably Celtic.

TV it is then if thats the case

"Back in the big time" the woman said which I found a bit patronising. We'd have been it it three other times in my life time if the tournament had been for 2nd-4th place in the 1990s. We will probably seen as cannon fodder or minnows to a lot of those clubs supporters.

The club saying "back where we belong" is pretty iffy. We've been in it twice before, we're hardly some fallen former regulars.

I’m guessing a 4 match pack for £200 for my seat WL upper.

I would describe that as optimistic.

With Eric dier in defence and Kompany in charge, we can definatly get something from this game.
looking forward to all these glamour ties!

Had a look at the Bayern fans forum to see what they think of the draw.

So we're playing at home to PSG, away to Barcelona, at home to Benfica, away to Shakhtar, home to Dinamo Zagreb, away to Feyenoord, home to Bratislava and away to Aston Villa.


aston villa/>??>?>?>>?
it totally escaped my mind that these little bastards qualified for it!

They still haven't forgiven us.

They've reason to be bitter.

Prior to that game, their record in cup finals was:

Intercontinental Cup: Played 2, Won 2, Lost 0
European Cup: Played 3, Won 3, Lost 0
European Cup Winners Cup: Played 1, Won 1, Lost 0
German League Championship (when concluded by a knockout tournament): Played 1, Won 1, Lost 0
German Cup: Played 6, Won 6, Lost 0

Overall: Played 13, Won 13, Lost 0.

A good thing is no away trips to the arse end of nowhere. All pretty easy travel for the team.

Tbh, there's no difficult places for a PL team to travel to within Europe (which is tiny) on their private jet.

well I wouldn't fancy the trip to the Ukraine.

There are no games in Ukraine q

[Accent Guy]

Not happy with the draw. Wanted some amazing away games and we've got 4 absolutely shit ones. Small shitty grounds in crappy places. Bruges is a nice town but meh.

Really wanted a headline away game. At least one.

Oh well, the home games are good at least.

You moan at everything.

I do not moan at everything that's utter bollocks. Am I not entitled to have preferred away games or are you the thought police?

Bit weird.

Preferring Madrid or Milan is a bit weird? 

[cdbearsfan]

Stu, will you stop being the thought police, please? You'll be locking people up for saying they're English again, next.

Approximate away allocations based on 5%

Leipzig 2,300
Brugge 1,450
YB 1,600
Monaco 800

Thanks. I think I just realised I’m unlikely to get any, ST who did Lille & Ajax which obviously had much bigger allocations, can anyone guesstimate how many are likely to have done more euro aways to be in higher categories? I fancied Bruges but I guess so would everyone. I wouldn’t go without a Villa ticket.

You should be ok for Leipzig.

My probably wildly inaccurate guess on away ticket numbers would be

6 aways about 400 people
5 aways about 200 people
4 aways about 500 people
3 aways about 500 people
2 aways and 1 away about another 1000-1500

But as i said that's a guess on my part.

Thanks for taking the time, will give it some thought. I try not to fly so the cheap coach from london for Bruges caught my eye but seems unlikely. You never know!

[VillaTim]

Monaco is a good away. Cheap hotels and ale. Nice pies

[olaftab]

So a brief scan of travel shows:
Young Boys. Fly to Zurich, train from airport to Berne, about an hour.
Brugge. Eurostar to Brussels with any Belgian station ticket connection to Brugge.
Leipzig. Fly to Berlin, train to Leipzig about an hour and half.
Monaco. Fly to Nice, train to Monte Carlo about 30minutes.

But i am sure there are better options out there?

[Skerra]

So, 3 points guaranteed v Celtic, another 3 from Bologna who have not had the best of starts. Bayern and Juve not the teams they used to be (Don’t let Heck persuade you otherwise). Win and a draw from the away matches and then luck of the draw in the play off round.

Non sequitur alert.

All very reasonable. The Good lady reckons there's direct flights to Monaco.

Nice is on all the Easyjet routes though - will be a lot cheaper and easier.
