Likely cheaper to stay too.

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.



All very reasonable. The Good lady reckons there's direct flights to Monaco.
EasyJet Bristol to Nice is usually reasonable if you get in early.
It's the home games that will be expensive. I bet the buttons on Heck's calculator nearly melted when he saw the home games. It'll be £2 to go in the gents..

About £4.50 and 21 minute train from Nice to Monaco. Flights from Manchester to Nice looking at £280 for direct.

Turn your data off on your phone though in Monaco as it’s unlikely to be on any roaming passports. Cost me and the other half £3-400 for a day and we didn’t even use our phones that much!!

Will be interesting to see how they prioritise away ticket sales based on how it panned out last season in the Conference (*Home/Away European attendance)

I wonder if they'll base it on last season's European aways, or just go back to standard domestic aways? Guess we'll find out some time after Saturday when the fixtures are announced, as the first game will only be about 3 weeks away.

Speaking of which, anyone hear any news of WHAT TIME they're releasing fixtures on Saturday?

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?

You do.

And yes. I am the Thought Police, 12 incher!

Excellent Draw. Our manager should not have too much trouble guiding us to the knockout stage. Onwards and upwards!

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.

Im pretty sure we all thought we would beat olympiakos at VP and that never happened. We cant take anything for granted.  Rodgers is no mug it wont be a easy game at all

Eurostar to Lille Europe. Train from Lille Flanders to Bruges is another option.

No matter what happens I'm just glad we're back where we belong but if we're gonna do anything exact revenge on Juventus. They ended our reign 41 years ago. Peace Cup doesn't count.

A favourable draw tempered somewhat by our lack of squad strengthening this summer…to date.

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.

I'd say Season Ticket holders looking at 80 quid. Members nigh on a ton. Neither about 120.

For context (I missed out) my mates went to Barca v Milan which was to be fsir top billing in group stages at the time in 2000 and paid 60 quid at Nou Camp even back then.
