Any discount codes before I book a flight to Bologna? (Wink)
Not this time. Sorry. Booked with BA from Heathrow out Sunday back Friday. Looks a decent place for a visit and Florence or Rimini an easy trip on the train for a day.
One of the few reasonable size Italian cities I have not been to. Booked KLM from Brum, decent flight times both ways. This time I am allowing myself two nights so an extra day to look around and oh yes Italian food, my favourite in the world. Prepared to take any advice from those of you who know the city.

Crazy really, the club are drastically overestimating demand for Europa league football. Full house should have been the aim.

They will get 35,000 easily, and they make more money with that many in at extortionate prices than they do with a full house at a more reasonable level.

£77 to see us play a very average Bologna side (it's my fault if we go out) at home for the third time in about 18 months is an interesting choice.

Work was mad yesterday and I left the office just before 8pm in London to shuffle to watch us in the pub. I’d tried to pass on my ticket for free in the morning as I knew I’d be stuck at work but I gave up after the6th mate turned me down.

So I too think the pricing for this is excessive.

Does anyone know how much Forest are charging for their Europa league matches in a smaller stadium?

It's stupid. I hope common sense prevails and they do what Forest did and lower prices quickly to something a lot more reasonable. This isn't a time to rip off fans.

Going via Milan.

Prices for the home leg are not surprising, but disappointing nonetheless.

The biggest dissapointment for me regarding the quarter-final second leg isn't the prices, but the fact that season ticket holders have four days the week before what is paypay for many to secure their seats.

The game isn't until the 16th. The club could have given season ticket holders until the 2nd April to buy their own seats - this would still be a bigger gap than that between the semi-final second leg and the final.

That's for the games up to their most recent - against Walter Mitty land. Surely, they'll bump them up like billio  for Porto.

Just had a quick look at their ticket page and they are maintaining their ST prices for next season - I won't be holding my breath awaiting a similar announcement from B6 !

It's simple, money.

Condense the window with the hope that people forget, miss out or can't afford tickets so those seats can be sold at the higher price and to occasional visitors who may have a bigger on spend.

The only reason the ST model remains is heritage and the likely uproar should this arrangement be drastically changed, and that goes for all clubs. They'd ditch it in a heartbeat.

The message is loud and clear.
