[Albion] What’s your dream group?

[Horses Arse]

(Statement of the obvious incoming)

Tickets are going to be very very hard to come by aren't they.

What do you reckon the priority 1 cut off will be based on current points tallies (I.e. not after doing what they do with them fir the new season).

350? Higher?

 

[Questions]

France
Sweden
Netherlands

I'd be coming over from Montréal, so I could only afford to attend one game if I were ever lucky enough to land an away ticket. France would be ideal, because it's my second home and I know how to stretch my dollar there. I might even bring along a kid or two! But I certainly would consider Amsterdam, as well -- I haven't been in 25 years. Sweden would be a first; always wanted to visit.

.

What pubs is everyone Meeting in for the Swedish game ?

 

[chickens]

Mitch Mitchell on drums, Hendrix on guitar, Kurt Cobain on vocals and guitar, John Paul Jones or Mike Watt on bass, Joanna Newsom providing vocals, harp and piano, and John Darnielle and David Berman involved in the songwriting and playing whatever the hell they felt like.

It’s possible that I have only read the thread headline.

Can anyone list the teams that are in or likely to be in the Europa main league - like us

Have had a look at the current league tables across Europe, and currently the likes of AC Milan, Ajax, Monaco, Villarreal and Slavia Prague will be in the Europa League next season - and potentially Larnaca in Cyprus, which would definitely involve a long weekend in Ayia Napa !

 

[Bakero]

Bilbao, Freiburg, Cluj would be nice.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I really don't care.

I will be wherever we play.

I still can't believe it.

 

[Machiavelli]

Club Brugges- Nice quick train from Euston. Beer. Beer. Beer.

Somewhere cheap and sunny. Cyprus, Portugal or Croatia. Nice couple of days on the piss with the Albion.

One big team with a famous ground. AC Milan wouldn’t be bad would it.

About right for me too, although not Brugge. Boring chocolate box city.

I gather away fans get a 5% allocation. Might be wrong on this but, if true, that'll be a tiny number in small stadia.

 

[sully]

I’d like an excuse to go back to Budapest.

Other than that, some drivable games would be good (Belgium, Netherlands, northern France or Northern Germany).

Or as others have said, a proper old school European club (preferably one that doesn’t have a bunch of numpty ultras to contend with).


Edit:
Having just looked at the list of possible opponents, I’d love us to draw LASK. Lovely city on the Danube and I haven’t been there since the “German” exchange at secondary school back in the 70s.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Whilst a Dutch game would be class, away ends here are not big so the binfest would be huge.

I'd love Milan and 2 Eastern European games. Cheap beer, more chances of tickets and places I'd never normally travel to.

 

[Yes Chef]

Real Betis
Heart of Midlothian
Sturm Graz

 

[Napper]

Big European team / Eastern Europe for cheap everything / Scottish

 

[pb21]

Home stands and keep your mouth shut?

I guess that's a possibility, but not very appealing, not sure I would enjoy that.

 

[danish seagull]

First little one due mid October so anyone a days driving distance back and forth from Copenhagen. Any Danish team would be handy along with either Malmo or Gothenburg if they’re in it. An Oslo or Helsinki based team also ‘sellable’ as multiple flights. Not much of a glam group though

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

It's all about stadium capacity for me. Somewhere, we can bring over a whole load of fans

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Paging @Your Mum

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Somewhere not served by easyJet or Ryanair that stops too many of our idiots going out there and embarrassing us on our first ever European adventure when they can't handle foreign beers.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Freddie Mercury - front man
John Bonham - drums
John Entwistle - bass
Jimi Hendrix - lead guitar
Keith Richards - rhythm guitar
Sister Rosetta Tharpe - acoustic guitar

Slavia Prague as it's less than 2 hours away from where I live.
SC Freiburg. Nice city plus again, 5 hours or so travel for me.
One of the Belgian teams maybe. As above. Yes, I want it all on a plate. ;0

The likes of anywhere in France, Italy, Holland (Feyenoord in particular) + Eintract Frankfurt and any Serbian & Polish teams, no thanks. A visit to those places with their less than welcoming fans and police, pass.

Same the above at home. Brutal truth; the happy clappy new wave are in for a massive culture shock if 'some' of the above come a calling in Brighton.

It is 5%. Union Berlin invested in a retractable dividing fence last season in order to shrink the away block for Europa League Games. Also worked well for a few BL games where fans had small away followings so more availability for home fans
