Andorra v England

[Marshy]

Can we just call it a draw and not bother.
Save the shame of losing.

I've lost count the amount of away games I've been to with the Albion and not bothered with the game or left before half time.

I only ever came close to leaving ONE Albion match at half-time. We played crap, it was at the Goldstone on a miserable wet drizzley night, and hadn't looked like even threatening the Walsall goal.

I spent the h/t just rounding off chats with pals in the South Stand, and saying my goodbyes - and the game started up again so I decided to give it a few minutes.....

The rest is statistical history!

To be fair, the games that you've left before half time normally come about because you've been 'invited' to leave by the Police.

Sky Sports News have just said Espanyol's ground is the 'likely' venue.

England's away Euro 2008 qualifier against Andorra on 28 March is likely to take place in Barcelona.
The national stadium in Andorra holds just 1,800 and their Football Association has appealed to Uefa to switch the game.

Uefa's executive committee will reach its decision on Thursday and is expected to approve the plan.

The match would then be played at Espanyol's Olympic Stadium, which has a much larger capacity.

The Football Association has backed Andorra's application.

England played in Liechtenstein four years ago when only a tiny fraction of their official supporters were able to obtain tickets, leading to a major security headache.

with a bit of bull fighting for the half time entertainment

been looking forward to this, just a shame its going to make the caps mainly pointless really

 

[Dennis and Lois]

on the England website its guaranteed a ticket to all 12,000 applicants, shame really, I was looking forward to a 'West Ham style' my gardens bigger than your garden argument!

Managed to get flights from Gatwick for £90pp and booked a hotel for £30pp as soon as venue was confirmed this morning. We were going to go with Thomas Cook, but it's cheaper this way and we get a night out into the bargain. Really looking forward to this one as not been to Barcelona before. Couldn't justify the expense for Israel even though we were guaranteed tickets....

 

[Dennis and Lois]

take an Albion flag, i'm hoping that without a presence of 'home' fans this might be more of a fans united than some of our other trips

 

[Giraffe]

How central is the stadium? Just trying to book a hotel/flight.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

not very central, its in the west of the city


the FUNNEST way to get there is by cable car to the mountain, and then walk round

 

[Springal]

get a feeling the atmosphere at this game is going to be dire, much like Holland game
