MKSC Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Pretty stupid idea from the belgians really, the policing cost of having to deal with anything between eight and fifteen thousand fans in Bruges - getting pissed and trying to find somewhere to watch the game - is going to be enourmous. I trust the majority of our fans to behave, but there will some who will let us down, and that could seriously damage the reputation of the club. I was always doubtful of getting a ticket but used it as an excuse to have a couple of days away with the wife, which I still will, but it could get a bit silly if things don't go well. I know it's not the clubs fault, but advising fans not to make travel plans when it has already been released that around 16,000 have booked to travel by varying means!! Are they seriously expecting people to cancel? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 worried now on 75 points maybe they will ask for application forms again rather than just doing it online Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 So is anyone trying to get tickets in the Brugge end for this? It'll be a massive kick in the teeth for people who travel and couldn't get a ticket to see loads of empty seats in the home sections. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yup - Brugge asking for trouble, IMO. Very surprised at the low allocation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCW1983 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I felt fairly confident of getting a ticket at 37 points before this announcement now i don't think ill get one at all, not bothered though it will still be a cracking weekend and atmosphere. I dont blame Brugges really, there top of the league and doing well and if they sell out their home tickets then there's really nothing we can say. If the shoe was on the other foot we'd be doing the same no doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I've got 92 points so I should be OK, some of the folk I'm travelling with, however... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Already sorted transport and digs so there's no chance i'm not travellling, 17 of us going but I reckon only a few will get tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Still planning on going, my hotel's not far from the main square but will most likely find somewhere a bit further away from the main areas on the night of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 If Brugge continue to stick to their guns they are going to cause a good few needless incidents. I ended up in the home end in Heerenveen and can see the same happening here. Had nowt for the Breda game, but a fair few of us ended up in the home end after getting pally with the locals and taking their tickets off them in return for cash/shirts/booze. Would have had a cracking time even without getting in tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Never expected to get one anyway, shame we won't have more of a presence in the stadium. Stupid decision by the police tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also went to Alkmaar and couldn't get a ticket and watched the 1st half in a mad Alkmaar bar, 3 of us stumbled in with Nufc tops on; they were ok but asked us to leave at HT - it was wall to wall full of Alkmaar stuff and some of them were a but miffed that we thought it was ok to just walk in and start drinking instead of just turning around and walk out.

David Icke - Son of God Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I know it's not the clubs fault, but advising fans not to make travel plans when it has already been released that around 16,000 have booked to travel by varying means!! Are they seriously expecting people to cancel? A lot of people wont be able to. For example my Eurostar ticket is non-refundable, so I'm having a nice trip to Bruges whether I like it or not.

bowlingcrofty Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 wasnt there some sort of article that said they were planning on bringing loads? lets give them the minium Unfortunately the minimum they'd get is 2,500 and it'd be a piece of piss for them to go in the home end.

ujpest doza Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 wasnt there some sort of article that said they were planning on bringing loads? lets give them the minium Minimum would be 2620 based on our stadium capacity being 52404. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham upped their allocation to higher total to cater for their fans in order for Brugge to then up there allocation from 1470. Newcastle apparently tried to do a similar thing and negotiate but failed to come to an agreement. If we handled the negotiations anything like our transfer negotiations no wonder it fell through. Ashley's terms or no terms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
