It appears they had 5k in the ground. Suppose the obvious answer is more home fans will want to see us and other CL teams than what was a 2nd Div team at the time.

The club have said that tickets allocation will be based on ST + last season's Conference League games.  They didn't count the Hibs game last season except for the Warsaw game as it was only a qualifier so I doubt they'll bring that forward.  Given that Mostar was only 490, there's also no reason for them to do so.  Everyone who went to every full game is guaranteed a ticket.

Having just been in the south of France on holiday Nice is the place to go for Monaco.  Really lovely city, great old town with loads of bars.  I watched the Arsenal game there.  And you can get the train to Monaco so easily, takes about 20 minutes.  I know people living in the Midlands (I live in Somerset so its my local airport) don't necessarily think about it but have a look at flights from Bristol airport out there with Easyjet.  I just had a quick look.  They only fly on a Tuesday and a Saturday at that time of year but could be an option for some who fancy a bit of a holiday in a very nice part of the world.  Easyjet also fly to Geneva from Bristol for the Young Boys game and for Bruges they fly from there to Amsterdam from where a train should be easy enough.  Feel like I'm advertising Bristol airport but when I read people are going from Luton and Manchester its definitely worth looking at.  Nice little airport, very hassle free, and must be just as close as those other airports to Birmingham.  Happy travels, European aways not doable for me but very jealous of those of you that get to go.  UTV

Bristol airport was well used last season for the European aways. My plane to Amsterdam both times was 70% Villa

Blose were a massive club at the time. And they packed out the Sty at the weekend despite being in the third tier. They're a credit to their borough.

Bristol is the first airport I look for now despite Brum being closer. Just back from Tenerife there, breezed through security, no hassles. Silver  parking really easy. Will use again.
