Can't be sure it's genuine really

 

Unless someone from the Brugge side of things is corrupt. I reckon its Newcastle fans with 75+ points who have no intention of going and just trying to make money

 

Looks like you can order up to 20 tickets though

They do look like a bunch of cunts with previous for selling tickets they don't actually have

E mailed our applications with enough points. Still no signs of acceptance. I just know that after keeping me in suspense for this amount of time, they are going to say there was some problem with the applications. If it were any other organization, i'd trust them to get in touch if that was the case, not NUFC however.

Bruges now selling 2 match tickets for Nufc and Bordeaux. Trying to get tickets for the South Stand next to where our allocation will be housed.

 

Will look to sell the Bordeaux ticket cheaply when I'm there.

 

How much?

 

I thought you needed to have a Belgian passport to buy them or something?

You don't get a ticket, you get a voucher to pick up a ticket in Brugge I think.

 

You can use your card number as the Belgian ID number.

50€ for lower south, 70€ for upper. I'm getting these via Brussels so if it us a voucher then collect in person then that's an added step and a trip to Brugge for them. They're making it bloody hard enough.

UEFA aims to polish Europa League brand

http://www.itv.com/sport/football/article/2012-10-05/uefa-aims-to-polish-europa-league-brand/

 

UEFA are asking club officials to boost the profile of the Europa League by telling managers and players to refer to the competition in glowing terms, it has emerged.

 

The Europa League is often viewed, particularly in England, as the Champions League's ugly sister, despite a high-profile rebranding of the competition in 2009.

 

Winners of the Champions League take home a cheque for nine million Euros (£7.24million) but the Europa League winners earn a third of that and the difference in TV revenue is also vast.

 

It emerged today that UEFA are handing out prompt sheets to the communication departments of Europa League clubs before media conferences that ask them to refer to the competition in a positive light.

 

The prompt sheet, which was discovered at the top table of Tottenham's pre-Panathinaikos press conference in Athens on Wednesday, asks press officers to brief their respective players and coaches that the Europa League is "prestigious" and "rich in heritage".

 

The sheet, headlined "Discover the Drama", reads: "At the start of the press conference, below messages should be used by the Club Press Officers.

 

"In addition, they may also be used by Club Press Officers when briefing coaches and players as their would be of great support to us.

 

"- UEFA Europa League is prestigious - it provides clubs, players and fans with the challenge of competing in European football for an elite trophy.

 

"- UEFA Europa League is rich in heritage having provided some of European football's most memorable moments and characters in recent years.

 

"- The most important quality that we want to communicate is that the UEFA Europa League is dramatic."

 

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas gave the competition a glowing report in the press conference, although he has every reason to given that lifting the trophy in 2009 proved to be the launch pad for his career.

 

 

I don't know why they don't give the winner a place in the Champions League that would boost the reputation of the competition.

Whatever happened to freedom of movement within the EU?! They really don't want us there do they!

 

http://m.shieldsgazette.com/news/local-news/ticketless-newcastle-fans-face-arrest-in-brugge-1-5053318

 

 

NEWCASTLE United fans who travel to the club’s European game in Brugge without a ticket were today warned: ‘We’ll arrest you!’

 

 

Northumbria Police have been asked by Brugge Police to warn fans off travelling without a ticket for the Europa League clash on Thursday, November 8.

 

Up to 8,000 Magpies fans were expected to head to Belgium, but the club has been given an alloocation of just 1,470 tickets.

 

The club had requested a far larger allocation, based on the numbers of fans wanting to travel, but their pleas fell on deaf ears.

 

Under UEFA rules, the home club is only obliged to allocate five per cent of its stadium capacity to the away team.

 

In this case, with the Jan Breydel Stadium able to hold 29,472, it has meant a small number of tickets for the Toon Army.

 

Commissioner Rudy Saron of Brugge Police, has provided the following advice for the travelling supporters:

 

1. If you do not have a ticket, please do not travel to Brugge.

 

2. Supporters without a valid ticket for the match will be prevented from travelling to the stadium, and anyone found in the vicinity of the stadium during the whole of matchday without a ticket will be arrested.

 

3. No tickets will be sold for the match after November 5 in any part of the stadium.

 

4. Any Newcastle United supporter found in any part of the stadium other than the allocated away fan section will have their ticket confiscated and be ejected.

 

5. If you are in a public place in Belgium (including inside a football ground) the law allows the police to demand official photographic identification such as a passport or drivers licence, etc. If you are not able to produce such you will be arrested and detained for 12 hours.

 

6. Newcastle fans in the segregated area will probably not be held back in the stadium at the end of the match, but fans in the Category One seats in the main East Stand will definitely be held back for a short period while the home fans in the adjoining areas leave first.

 

7. There will be a meeting point for NUFC fans in the Market Square in the city centre. It will be opened on matchday from noon to 6pm. NUFC fans will be able to get information about the town, the match and ask help for any problems they are faced with during their stay in Brugge.

 

8. The local police are willing to guide NUFC ticket holders for the fixture from the town centre to the stadium. A rendezvous point and a starting time will be announced well in advance on matchday itself via Twitter and other means of communication.

 

9. If NUFC fans want to go individually to the stadium they are advised to take a taxi to the Doornstraat (visitor’s entrance). They are advised not to make use of public transport.

 

10. The official coach parking at the stadium is only allowed for those who have registered with NUFC and the Police and have been given an official pass in advance.

 

11. Local police will provide twitter hash tags to communicate with fans. The two tags used will be: #politiebrugge and #CLUNEW

 

Chief Commissioner Daniel De Groote Federal Police has provided the following advice for Newcastle United Football Club fans travelling to Belgium:

 

1. If anyone arrives at any border control point in Belgium and they are drunk, under the influence of drugs or they are disorderly, they will not be permitted entry into the country.

 

2. If anyone arrives at any border control point in Belgium and they have alcohol in their possession it will be confiscated.

 

3. If any fans are intending to travel to Belgium and enter via the port of Zeebrugge as a foot passenger and subsequently travel to Brugge, they must pre-book their bus ticket through P&O Ferries at the port of Hull, as there are insufficient travel options to account for the number of foot passengers that are booked to travel.
