Europa League 2016/2017 (Died 8/12/2016)

[LGTL]

Inter will get about 30k max at our game!

[Nexstar]

And similarly, Sparta Prague played at home to APEOL in the group stage last year - attendance 9,100 (out of 20,000)

[Whitey Grandad]

Has to be worth the gamble - worse case you have a night or two in Prague

 

Good point. The only snag is that you might have to go to a game of fotball.

[Whitey Grandad]

Nah, we'll probably take a lot more than that

[magnet]

Let's turn the San Siro into San Mary's :-)

[West End Saint]

Did anyone risk going away to FC Midtjylland last season without a ticket?

 

Tempted to go to all 3 of these with or without a ticket and hope to get one on the day (Home or away end)

 

Whilst I did not travel to FC Midtjylland without a ticket there were spare tickets available in the away a friend who traveled with us picked up a ticket no problem

 

If I cannot get a ticket it is what I will do pitch up get in the ground one way or another

[Heisenberg]

Email beforehand. During the discussions on here our friend in denmark got involved. I had tried logging into the Midtjylland website and got as far as selecting my seats but they wanted a Danish credit card for payment and at that point I was thinking about contacting my old Danish contacts.

 

Does anybody on here know any Saints fans that live in Italy, Czech Republic, Israel even?

 

Where there's a will, there's a way!! Good work sir

[SuperSAINT]

INTER MILAN!!

 

Absolutely brilliant. Who would have thought it a few years ago?!

[niceandfriendly]

Last time they were in the EL, Inter's biggest group game was against St. Etienne, attendance at the San Siro was 33,000. So just the 47,000 empty seats

 

Whilst that guarantees any Saints fan a ticket if they want one, it's also a shame they don't get close to selling out for these games. Never mind, still going to be fantastic.

[whelk]

Whatever allocation if you travel to Milan you are going to watch the game. Happy days

[Surman4no7shirt]

Yes! Didn't even consider they might give us more tickets. Sing a happy happy happy happy happy song.

 

I believe there is a fairly large "neutral" area as well.

[Pat from Poole]

If we beat Inter at St Mary's and/or San Siro, will Pompey fans shut up about the 3-3 draw with AC Milan using players they never fully paid for? Probably not.

 

2-2 actually.

 

With great thanks to Inzaghi for his injury-time equaliser.

[positivepete]

Isreal, just as well I have two passports, one for my Arab country entry stamps, and one for the rest!

[Saints1976]

Tough draw but Inter will be great.

[davefizzy14]

A fantastic draw for us!!! Cant wait. COYR

[suewhistle]

Saints Siro! Should be no problem getting tickets. I might go via Torino and have a few days over there. If we do get a big crowd maybe we'll need charters as regular flights will be overwhelmed.

I can recommend going to the state opera house, lovely place. I saw Tosca there a few years back. Great performance.

[Le Timmier]

Edit: Who would have thought that there were two teams called Hapoel?

 

I think there's about 15-20 clubs called "Hapoel *something*"

 

Hapoel essentially means "sports club". Bit like "....spor" in Turkey

When we went the Israelis didn't actually stamp our passports, they gve us an entry document which we kept in our passports and handed back on leaving. We were only there for a day visit so maybe that was different.

 

 

Are meals out cheap in Israel Just a thought...

Of course, La Scala and it's the autumn season! I'm going to have a good time...

Was she that fat girl behind the ice cream stall, the one with with the fishnet stockings? I don't suppose she's still there these days

Can't be worse than Milan! Are we going to draw lots?

[saints1988]

I will lose my **** if we draw Inter!!

 

Please!!!

 

How much **** was lost?

[hypochondriac]

Where are we likely to see the dates?

[The9]

They stamp a visa card now.

Being up in Scotland you'll be fine, f'sure.

 

Looking to use Avios and Club Carlson points for my whole trip.

Isn't Virginmedia completely separate?

London Stansted will be a good bet - unless you can jump on Southampton flights quickly

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Heathrow for me, closest airport. BA do tons of flights per day.

I think he's more worried about the Arabic stamps tbh.

[alehouseboys]

I believe it is but maybe someone knows someone... in an ideal world... and we have seen they do like helping travelling supporters.

[Whitey Grandad]

We had Arabic stamps in ours with no problems getting into Israel. I think it's those with Israeli stamps who have problems with Arab countries.

For which dates? Constantly hitting refresh to see the fixtures...... commme onnnnnnn

Fair point.

[Bananaman]

Palestine flags at the ready!

[The9]

Like everyone else he's probably only checking Matchday 1.

[Saint_clark]

Think they do a separate draw later in the day...kind of stupid really and shows yet again how little consideration they give for the travelling fans, as this is the most important information.

[LGTL]

Could really do with Inter away not being Matchday 1 or 2

[dinger]

Palestine flags at the ready!

 

I was just coming here to suggest that.

[Unbelievable Jeff]

Please not matchday 1!!! Can't make that one.

[Sour Mash]

Palestine flags at the ready!

The club gets sanctions for that.

[LGTL]

I'm a teacher - getting 2 days off is going to be hard enough as it is, but if those 2 days are in September it becomes almost impossible.

[Batman]

Inter Milan. Get in.

And an away day in Prague

 

What not to like

[Saint_clark]

Could really do with Inter away not being Matchday 1 or 2

 

Yep. Ideal result for me would be Prague away is matchday 1, then I can just write that off and definitely do the other two.

[Saint-Fred]

Why is that inconsiderate to the fans?

[bazza]

Israel is a fantastic place and Tel Aviv is a real party city. We are about an hour away by car from Tel Aviv.

 

Customs / Mossad will have a field day with travelling fans, going in and out of the country, but its all bark and no bite.... as long as you keep your cool.

 

Spot on. Was in Tel Aviv watching NI in 2013, it's a wonderful modern city with cracking restaurants, nightlife and a white sand beach on its doorstep. In complete contrast the traditional & religious city of Jerusalem is well worth a day trip too.

 

Security in & out of the airport's very intensive right enough. Our small group were (randomly I presume) pulled to one side for a bit of questioning. Squeaky bum time! lol When you look at their place in the region it's understandable though.

 

I've been to approx 40 away internationals & Israel was my clear favourite. It's fantastic.

[hypochondriac]

What are the dates for the three matchdays?
