[Albion] What’s your dream group?

[JJ McClure]

1. Fiorentina
2. Someone really easy
3. Someone else really easy

 

[Justice]

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.

A few years ago I was doing a job in a shop in the Kings Road Chelsea obviously had a European game that evening, around 2pm a huge mob of German fans descended down the Road what a racket drummers at the front loads of smoke bombs all chanting in unison it’s going to be fun.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

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

The bigger European teams are used to foreign tourist fans, although probably not recommended for FC Vilnius on a Thursday evening... unless you've mastered Lithuanian or Russian with no discernible accent before rocking up.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

How can anyone not want AC Milan?

Then a classic old school team like Slavia Prague, Hadjuk Split, Steaua Bucharest etc.

And then someone rubbish we can beat home and away.

Does third in the group stage get you into the conference like third in the champions league groups puts you into the europa league?

Yes it does. Finish third and we drop into the Conference League.

Give me

An iconic club
Something hot
Something eastern

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

What pubs is everyone Meeting in for the Swedish game ?

Omnipollo Stockholm.

 

[Questions]

It could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Yes it does. Finish third and we drop into the Conference League.

Happened to Leicester last season. Brendan Rogers claimed at the time he wasn't aware of the rule when it happened!

 

[Mellotron]

Something like

Copenhagen
Gent
Sevilla or somewhere nice in France.

 

[Simster]

I'd love the chance to absolutely f***ing hammer one of the two Old Firm. I can't stand the pair of them.

Mind you, the smell of their hideous toothless fans would make train travel to the Amex almost unbearable.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Ac milan
young boys bern
angers ( France)


trip to Milan to take in the opera etc, trip to Switzerland to take in the mountains and gluwine, and trip to France to pick up some Beaujolais and Sancerre from the Loire …oh yes and watch some football.,

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Somewhere obscure
Somewhere very far away
Juventus

 

[Gwylan]

trip to Milan to take in the opera etc,

Mrs Gwylan and I are planning a weekend in MIlan, taking in the San Siro and La Scala. I didn't imagine that little ol' Albion may be playing there some day (the San Siro that is, not La Scala )

 

[Normandy seagull]

Rennes
Angers
Toulouse
Monaco

Didn’t we play Celtic in a friendly at the Amex or have I just imagined that

 

[Originunknown]

AC Milan, Monaco and somewhere in Germany or the Netherlands

 

[BrickTamland]

Omnipollo Stockholm.

What a place.

Failing that, Swannys local

 

[Sepulveda]

Feyenoord

Only if you want your city destroyed.

Juventus

I'd love for us to meet Brighton but one bad thing is that our tickets are very pricey, Etihad-like (among other reasons, it's also because our stadium is small compared to other big clubs), and there's a lot of restrictions compared to other Italian stadiums. Maybe the final in Dublin would be a better location

Mrs Gwylan and I are planning a weekend in MIlan, taking in the San Siro and La Scala. I didn't imagine that little ol' Albion may be playing there some day (the San Siro that is, not La Scala )

La Scala is incredibly small compared to how you imagine it from the pictures, it's a little jewel. San Siro Is the opposite.

Brighton get on top of Young Boys… yep

 

[Eeyore]

I cant get my head round who will be competing next season but based on this yesrs teams a group of the following would be incredible:

Brighton
Malmo
Feyenoord
Omonia

A group that we would be favourites to progress from too.

 

[El Presidente]

Kylie Minogue
Danii Minogue
Anne Widdicombe
….and a shitload of cocaine.
