hypochondriac Posted 10 August, 2015 Share Posted 10 August, 2015 I shall buy my two anyway but an 18:00 ko would make it difficult to pick up my grandson and get here through the rush hour traffic.

stevegrant Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 Yeah, given we have (more or less) full control over it and the game is only 9 days away, I find it difficult to believe they'd make it a 6pm kickoff. We'll have some 6pm kickoffs in the group stage if we get there, but the kickoff times are all set by UEFA from that stage onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 Yeah, given we have (more or less) full control over it and the game is only 9 days away, I find it difficult to believe they'd make it a 6pm kickoff. We'll have some 6pm kickoffs in the group stage if we get there, but the kickoff times are all set by UEFA from that stage onwards. i think the fact we have control over it means the club really should be more proactive in confirming the details as early as possible whilst happy to sell tickets they should also confirm the time. Same goes for away tickets - it should be very straight forward once allocation is confirmed let people know the details and whether or not they are running an official trip where a % of our allocation will be reserved for - has a big impact on what fans do in terms of booking.

Ceres Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 Highlights of their 2-0 Danish Superliga win over Aalborg BK last night..... The highlights do not seem to work ... but the only FCM player you need to worry about is 20-yo Pione Sisto : Otherwise, they are only dangerous at set pieces.

We've got 10 and 11 aways... I'll make sure to monitor this thread. I had assumed that it would be impossible to get home tickets too, but they were available at 12 CET today. I grabbed one for myself and one for my eldest son. These are backups as I was desperate enough to pursue sponsor tickets and I may have landed myself something in that department. If it goes through, I will be speaking in their sponsors lounge about being a Saints fan in Denmark in return for getting some sort of ticket. Nothing decided yet but it seems that either way I am going to the match - that was something I thought nearly impossible 24 hours ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfahaji Posted 11 August, 2015 Share Posted 11 August, 2015 "Those fans who purchase tickets for this game will be given priority for any future UEFA Europa League away fixtures this season." Does this mean people with a ticket for the away leg get priority in future games? Or does it include attending the home leg? I went to Vitesse at home but am on holiday for Midtjylland, hoping this won't affect my already slim chances of getting a ticket for any future Europa League games should we reach the group stages.
