Bring. It. On!

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

That means nothing to me

Very good, l see what you did there.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Please let it be Milan. Only one I can feasibly tie in with a ‘work’ trip this time.

Seeing us win at the San Siro would be quite something.

Scenes.

Scenes.

Seeing us even play at the San Siro would be quite something.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Seeing us even play at the San Siro would be quite something.

Indeed, even seeing us compete in the Eoropa League would have been unthinkable just a few short years ago.

Here's my latest 'how to get there' spreadsheet.
Any Italian game is a 5 day trip with her indoors.
My away game partner has pulled out of any more away Euro games so her indoors may want to make some of these games a 5 day holiday like she did for Athens.
I've also hotels booked in most of these cities, just got to remember to cancel on Saturday!

What websites are people using to look for and book flights? Flight comparison sites and booking on there or direct with the airline?

 

[Dirty Dave]

Marseille have just sacked their manager after just 24 games in charge

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

EasyJet is my preference due to their loyalty scheme so I look there first. Failing this Expedia. But never ever book through them….go direct.

Would be fun at Galatasary I imagine

The locals would just think we are a branch of the Mr Tumble fan club, no issues at all.

Just use google flights initially which then takes me to the airlines page.

I use Skyscanner to look for flights, and then book direct with airline.
Though they seem to have dropped Ryanair from their listings recently, and Ryanair are a biggie at Stansted, my local airport, so I check Ryanair also.

Google Flights can sometimes be better than Skyscanner.

But please PLEASE use Incognito Mode as it really does make a huge difference to prices. Just don't tell my mrs that I know what incognito mode is...

hey guys - I am based in Asia but want to go to the city where we play our next Europa league game - no chance of me getting tickets but will there be many Albion fans also without tickets and watching in a bar? I heard this happened in group stages so would that bar be near the ground or in a designated fan area?

Very likely to be fans without tickets in most cities (perhaps not many if it’s Baku though). Usually a bar in the city centre not near the ground. The local Irish pub often seems to win out I think. Have a good one!

I really am not getting head round this.... As a seeded team can we play another seeded team? I have seen contradicting comments...

I can't see Milan in your spreadsheet list what are you doing about Atalanta assuming we can play them?

thanks

As a seeded team we will play one of the winners from the play off round. We cannot meet another seeded team (fellow group winners) in the last 16 round so we cannot play Atalanta.

That’s worse than Baku. It’s 9 hours 40 on Google. If you really wanted to go that badly you should have gone to that pre season match there.

We won't be playing any of the other 7 seeded teams, of which Atalanta are one. We can though in the round of 8 meaning Liverpool, West Ham & Rangers could be our next exciting European trip in April.
