ross magoo Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 If you're booking hotels then don't book anything in the Omonia neighbourhood of Athens, that area is awash with junkies, hookers and alcoholics. There is a good metro line from Athens Airport into Syntagma square, use it. However, don't rely on the metro system to get you around the city to different destinations as some lines/stations are sometimes out of use. Don't try to navigate your way around the city on foot, Athens is a maze of narrow sidestreets and alleyways, you'll get lost. Get a taxi. Like any other city in the world there are honest taxi drivers and not so honest taxi drivers but you'll just have to live with it. Bars are quite expensive in Athens, you'll pay 5 Euros for a beer in most pubs. When Dundee Utd played there we all just congregated in Syntagma Square, there are two little stalls at the bottom of the square where you can buy cold cans of Heineken and Amstel for normal shop prices and as long as you don't get too rowdy the police will let you drink cans in the square. There are thousands of stray dogs running around Athens but they're mostly harmless. I hope that helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross magoo Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Anybody know if their fans are crazy f***ing ultra weirdo c***s who'll try and kill us? Will probably affect whether i go. You'll probably be told to meet in Syntagma Square then two hours before the game you'll get herded onto buses and taken to the stadium under armed police guard. They'll look after you. There are lots of teams in Athens and they all hate eachother, if the police don't protect you then the other fans will. We found the Olympiakos fans to be very friendly when we were playing AEK.

One of their fan groups is called the Fedayeen . . . Make of that what you will. It's actually Fentagin. They're a relatively small club but have a good core fanbase. I would say there's nothing much to worry about, especially given they've never really played in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Glad I didn't wake up at 7:30 for this. Good enough draw, would've taken an easier away trip but should be relatively easy passage into the group stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, roll back two years and see their thoughts on what they would do if they ever qualified for Yewrup again.... http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=550095 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Few little bits from a quick Wiki: Finished 4th in the Greece Superleague last season. Were decent at home, only lost twice. Average home attendance was 1700. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
