deejeck Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I am gradually accepting that I will not be getting a ticket for this. Still should be a good trip though. Me too, although its not so much me that I'm worried about as I have 15 points, the Mrs only has a couple of loyalty points so as it drops in blocks of 5 or 10, that might as well be nil. Think I'd be off the team for quite some time if I left her on her own whilst I went to the match......presuming that 15 points would be enough anyway, which is starting to look a bit dicey. I'm clinging on to the hope that the authorities might intervene and encourage FC Brugge to give us a decent allocation, in order to avoid (what they will perceive) up to 7-8k dafties drinking non stop and terrorising the city centre. I'm sure I read somewhere that the stadium is a couple of miles out of town, so that would at least install a potential 3-4 hour alcohol free window, something I'm sure the Belgian Polis would welcome.

Ketsbaia Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I emailed the club box office about non-members/season ticket holders and got this reply: "Tickets for this game will be strictly limited to season ticket holders and club members I'm afraid, as it is likely to be in very high demand."

Wilson Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Pretty much knew it would be limited to members and ST holders like any away games .... i'm just wondering about how many points it'll start on and how quickly it'll drop. Even though it'll be a great couple of days without a ticket, I'm going to be fucking gutted if I don't get my grubby mits on one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Meh. I'm a member like so I'm not that fussed. The bigger worry that was always there is that tickets are all likely to be snapped up by ST holders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyP Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Am looking to go to the Bordeaux game, what do you reckon is the most cost-effective way of getting there? I'd probs book wed-friday of work. Was considering driving but like 1000-odd miles is a trek and would take a whole day in itself just to get there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I think it'll go to 0 points. I've no information to suggest this will be the case, but if we get 5/6k tickets as Birmingham did ST holders should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Got a feeling I won't get a ticket either. Usually use my mate's ST's, as he has 4 tickets with points ranging from 50 odd to 90 odd. But if you have to give passport detials, then I'll be stumped surely? I'm on his Friends and Family link and I reckon I can defintely get one, just need 2 more ideally. If not, watching it in a bar or on a big screen somewhere will be good. Would consider the home end as well TBF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever been to Gatwick before? It's actually closer to Brighton than it is to London so will cost almost much for taxi to Gatwick as it has for the rest of your trip.

Hughesy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Get the train from London Bridge to Gatwick or the Gatwick Express from Victoria. Much much cheaper. And quicker from London. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Not going to any of the away games, but still excited to see pictures of black and white shirts in European cities again One of my favourite pictures was a big banner at Marseille in the UEFA Cup that sai 'Bonjour Marseille, Vive le Toon' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no information to suggest this will be the case, but if we get 5/6k tickets as Birmingham did ST holders should be fine. Not so sure meself. Every fucker I speak to is going, the demand will be massive. I reckon we will take well over 10k there, hopefully they give us the full stand which I think holds about 6500. I'm in a group of about 18, points varying. I hope we all get tickets, can't see it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe_next_year Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 beginning to worry, i have over 20 points so i reckon i should be okay, but my dad only has the 1. seems to be half of newcastle travelling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
