Sheaf Saint Posted 26 August, 2016 Share Posted 26 August, 2016 So I've cleared the Milan trip with the Mrs and found some cheap flights from Manchester. Just got to see if I can get a ticket through our company's corporate box now. All being well I'm off to see Saints at the San Siro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_saint Posted 26 August, 2016 Share Posted 26 August, 2016 Looking at allocations..... It appears that when Spurs went there for the Champions League tie in 2010 they were given 5000 tickets http://www.spurslatest.co.uk/inter-milan-ticket-update/ Interesting that "they are unable to provide us with any more than 5,000 for operational reasons". 5000 should be enough but what an atmosphere that will be!

stevegrant Posted 26 August, 2016 Share Posted 26 August, 2016 What you recon it'll be for Sparta ? Not many. That'll be the hardest one to get tickets for because the demand will also be high. Israel will be a relatively small allocation but I'd assume also less popular for many reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delicately broached the subject at a rather expensive cocktail bar once she was home. Response? You only live once. Don't you want to do Israel too? Israel flights and hotel booked. ?

Brazzer Posted 26 August, 2016 Share Posted 26 August, 2016 Good luck guys . I've seen posts about flags to Israel . So basically I would not recommend to fly palastine flag to Israel don't get in any trouble there . Fans of Hapoel (their ultras) don't mix politics and football so if you try to get someone anger it won't work. Be'er Sheva city located 1:30 Hour drive from Tel Aviv . If you book a flight , book hotel to tel aviv it's a great sunny city with great beaches and clubs . The situation with Gaza now is quite so it's safe to travel but anything can change in 1 minute . Be'er sheva is a beautiful city 2nd biggest in Israel there is no beach there but there is also not in the desert like people said here . People who booked tel aviv and wanna go to the game fastest way is a train very cheap! And fast. Don't take taxi !! Or bus. The fans in be'er sheva very warm and they would love to see you . About the team.. They beat olympiacos and they won Celtic 2-0 in their home (turner) final result was 5-4 to Celtic . 1 more goal for Hapoel and they would kick out Celtic . They never ever lost in their home stadium This msg https://vimeo.com/180346251 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Melia Milano which was as close to the ground as I could get and we got it all for just under 200 quid a head so happy with that, esp as we weren't organised enough to get the really early deals.

BlakeySFC Posted 26 August, 2016 Share Posted 26 August, 2016 As I'm not an STH or Member anymore I'm gonna have to wait and see if I can get away tickets on general sale before booking flights etc., probably means they'll be astronomical prices but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Can't do Milan, been to Prague before and tickets there will be impossible to get. So that leaves Israel but I don't think any of my mates will be keen!

sandwichsaint Posted 26 August, 2016 Share Posted 26 August, 2016 (edited) Zero to hero, what a Saintsday! I have tended to stay off the thread, I don't have the aways from last year but I saw both the home games (first away game was the nipper's wedding in Brazil, the second away game no chance due to absence of first game). Really couldn't get excited about it as zero% chance of getting any away tickets. UEFA draw-Gods do their magic and we are drawn away to a proper massive club in a proper massive stadium. I couldn't get on till 18-00 but we are sorted now, BA scheduled flights (get me, but we wanted sensible times) from LHW, out on Weds at 15-00, back on Fri at 18-30 local time, decent hotel (forgotten the name!) it's walking distance from Saints Siro stadium/station/city centre .... £830 for the three of us. It's more than some paid, but @ £280 for a three-day city break beats the club's rumoured price of £600+ for a day trip. I know it's more than some paid, but I have no chance of tkts for the other two so I'm totally made-up! This will be the mother of all away-days. Delhurst/Derby/Orient (I did the first two) have all just moved down a notch or two on the all time list! Edit, forget 'most' people would add Steau to the all-time away list. I had sprogs of 13+15 at the time and v keen to take them, I looked into going, but circumstances and common-sense prevailed (and I didn't go :() Edited 26 August, 2016 by sandwichsaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 26 August, 2016 Share Posted 26 August, 2016 Will be like visiting Portsmouth: On August 31, 2004, sixteen people were killed in two suicide bombings on commuter buses in Beersheba for which Hamas claimed responsibility. On August 28, 2005, another suicide bomber attacked the central bus station, seriously injuring two security guards and 45 bystanders.[56] During Operation Cast Lead, which began on December 27, 2008 and lasted until the ceasefire on January 18, 2009, Hamas fired 2,378 rockets (such as Grad rockets) and mortars, from Gaza into southern Israel, including Beersheba. The rocket attacks have continued, but have been only partially effective since the introduction of the Iron Dome rocket defense system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the weather's half decent I'm thinking a nice white shirt, a very nice linen blazer, proper jeans, brown brogues, would that be acceptable?
