South City Si Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 Sorry for the late response. Didnt know i could only post 3times in 24hours. The general feeling on our chances.... Would say the chances of the pope becomming a Muslim is bigger. We know we'll lose but we just wanna have fun. Our last European Adventure close to home was vs Werder Bremen. That was one awesome day and we just wanna party. We we're hoping for some small club, but everyone said, if we draw a strong club, we hope for either Southampton or Dortmund. Seeing as the 1700 tickets were sold in 2 days, we were right Would be fun if i actually met some of you in southampton. Sadly i cant make it to the home game here in Arnhem. Begged my boss for a free day this thursday and couldnt get another. Btw, is there any place we should go to in Southampton? We arrive at 10am, so we gotta find something to do . Don't listen to that miserable lot. Go down the bottom end of Town on High Street where there's the Bargate (old gatehouse to the city) then keep going where you'll find the bombed out church and memorial. Down there is a new German bar and a few medieval pubs like the Red Lion (High Street), Duke of Wellington (Bugle Street) and the Platform Tavern (platform Road). If ships are your thing go have a look at Mayflower Park, not great space but good view of the docks and the water. There is a new brewery and pub in the the old Wool House called the Dancing Man opposite the ferry terminal definitely worth a look. If old walls are your thing go round the corner and have a look, if not enjoy the different locally brewed ales! Seems most of the people in Southampton don't get out at all or make the most of their surroundings!!! ;-)
South City Si Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 Has anyone had any other confirmation about tickets in the Vitesse home end? Not had anything apart from the original confirmation email.
South City Si Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 Was on the postal, so assume they're definatley not goign to post them out?!

Give the golf courses and bowling alley a miss.

The9 Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 Went down this morning to get tickets for 3 of us regular away-goers. Paid, was handed the usual receipt and was then asked if I wanted to collect the tickets on Friday, or have them posted out. Are there any more hoops they want us to jump through? Haven't seen mention of this elsewhere, so for those of you who booked online, I wouldn't rush to meet your local postie for the next few days. Vitesse are bringing the tickets with them, so there aren't any tickets to have until at least tomorrow... ...in good news, I now have both legs in my purchase history.
Appy Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 STILL nervous about tomorrow morning 9am... Got a few mates in the same boat, good luck.
Shroppie Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 STILL nervous about tomorrow morning 9am... Yep. Was relieved when I found I had 10 aways. You should be OK if you get in the queue early. Good luck. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Red Alert Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 Was on the postal, so assume they're definatley not goign to post them out?! I haven't had mine, but they have emailed me asking if I want a season ticket.

Seems most of the people in Southampton don't get out at all or make the most of their surroundings!!! ;-) This. There's plenty to do in and around Southampton for a day. People just like to moan. Definitely head down to The Woolhouse. New pub that just opened that has it's own mirco brewery. Plenty of ale to enjoy in there. Unfortunately if you like ships, there aren't many of the big ones in on Thursday. Only SAGA Pearl 2 and Mein Schiff. Still, there's always the Titanic Museum. If I was a Vitesse fan I would be organising everyone to gather around Guildhall Square before the game. Plenty of space to all mingle together and create some atmosphere and plenty of places to get a drink and eat.
Big Dick Last Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 You don't get confirmation if collecting from stadium. Just show up with confirmation email and ID. When I collected mine last Wednesday only needed the order number. No id or email.
oldsarum Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 I haven't had mine, but they have emailed me asking if I want a season ticket. Me too
1576 Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 I haven't had mine, but they have emailed me asking if I want a season ticket. Got that as well. From a very reasonable €189.00

Begged my boss for a free day this thursday and couldnt get another. Btw, is there any place we should go to in Southampton? We arrive at 10am, so we gotta find something to do . Southampton isn't brilliant for things to do, but there are enough places to drink. If you want to start with some history, you can walk the old walls and look at whatever ships in (if that floats your boat, ahem). Seriously though, the walls and places like the Tudor house are actually pretty good; http://www.discoversouthampton.co.uk/visit/things-to-do/attractions That'll fill the 2 hours until lunch, then there are plenty of places to eat and drink from lunchtime until the match, sorted.
stevegrant Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 One handy result already in the Champions League 3rd qualifying round, with Midtjylland losing 2-1 at home to APOEL. Other games to look out for tonight are Videoton v BATE Borisov (we want a BATE win) and Dinamo Zagreb v Molde (we want a Dinamo win).
marc_saint Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 (edited) One handy result already in the Champions League 3rd qualifying round, with Midtjylland losing 2-1 at home to APOEL. . How is that good for us? According to http://www.footballseeding.com/european-cups/champions-league-seeding-15-16/ APOEL have a coefficient of 35.4 whilst Midtylland is 7.9. So we would want Midtylland to win? Edited 28 July, 2015 by marc_saint

It's the Champions league qualifiers......thus Midtylland would fall into the Europa Qualifying round, with a lower seed than us. 1 result down (of course, if it stays that way). If Midtylland win, then we have to put up with APOEL with a higher co-ef in the Europa league.

adysaint Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 Molde with a decent result in Zagreb puts them in the driving seat. Zagreb would be tricky opponents (and I'm guessing not friendly fans).
EuroLeague Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 Thank you all for the ideas! Our supporters club organized a bus tour to southampton. So we'll be in southampton at 10am with about 8/10 busses. The rest of the supporters are going on their own occasion. Football is all about drinking beer, yelling at some people, call the reff a sweet name and then gome home after a humiliating defeat. So yeah, well probably try to find as many pubs as we can @Golden Balls You're local police gave us 3 options for bars, are they near Guildhall square? -Yates -The Spitfire -Frog and Parrot But, local new brewery and old fashioned pubs. Nothing can beat that. Will definitly go to the marina. Us Dutch people like water especially when we can kick it back into the ocean (A). Patrick Bateman Thnx for the link to discover Southampton. Paintball looks attempting. To everyone else who gave some ideas, Thanks alot! (parks, pubs, south city) Btw, whats with the refund? You bought tickets for the away game but cancelled and didnt get money back? If so, tell me here and ill call em tomorrow and see what i can find out.

If so, tell me here and ill call em tomorrow and see what i can find out. Some of us couldn't get tickets in the away end so have bought in the Vitesse end. Don't worry we will be on our best behaviour. We've had the money leave our accounts but no tickets yet, hoping for them to arrive soon.

The town centre has got lots of bars, if you do go to one of the police recommended bars you'll be by Guildhall Sq which is a good gathering point. If you walk up the main road towards London Road you will find lots of pubs , just look up London Road, Bedford Place on google maps . For some afternoon beers in the sun the Wool House and Ocean Village are best I think, the new German Bierhouse may also be worth a try but not very English and considering you already live close to Germany might be a waste. The Red Lion pub is the oldest in the city I think, you could visit there for some beer and history at the same time.

It’s what we’ve been driving for for the last five years. “Yeah, we’ll have it, we’ll take it, and I think that says something about us as a club. “Therefore, when we talk about Champions League within the next five years, yeah, it’s a dream, but it’s a realistic aspiration. “But we have to do it a step at a time. We have to be patient, because we don’t have the ability to do it all in one hit. Edited 29 July, 2015 by trousers
Mouldy Coat Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 Got on website, wouldn't come up as an option. Only displayed Newcastle away. Phoned up, straight through. Ticket purchased, but could only get 1 as my mates didn't quite have 7 aways. For that reason I will probably just go in the home end so I can sit with mates. I have a feeling there will be plenty of seats in the large stand so we can probably all sit together anyway. No drama

stevegrant Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 Still tickets available, which amazed me, to be honest. Assumed they'd be gone in 10 minutes this morning. Note: they only show up on the "Cup Games" section, not the "Away Games" section, and handily for anyone using their mobile to book, the "Cup Games" section isn't available

Nexstar Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 Are the remaining tickets not just ones that come as part of the travel club bundle?
stevegrant Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 Are the remaining tickets not just ones that come as part of the travel club bundle? Could be - I can't see them selling out those travel packages, £350 is a mental price for a one-night trip.

Jack Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 Sorted at 9am this morning. Buzzing now, the 24h trip back from Ibiza will be worth it! 3-0 lead from the first leg please Saints

marc_saint Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 Yea and the club seemed pretty confident they'd be sold out before today. They always said that there would be tickets available today due to there not being 1400 ST holders who went to 10 or more away games last season.
