[Danh1]

Done Brugge and Kharkiv last time. Both unreal trips. The ferry to the Dam for Brugge was quality.

FWIW, Brugge was absolutely mint in the town square without a ticket. 

 

I was there as an 11 soon to turn 12 year old with a ticket.

[Tsunami]

Bruges was a great place. Beer Wall pub was amazing.

Anyone who wants tickets for these games will get them

imho. Enjoy it if you’ve never done Europe before. We’ve got Eurostar and digs booked for psg. Trying to sort Dortmund now. Giving Milan a miss as been there before albeit v inter but want to save sone cash for the knockout rounds ?

Not sure about that like.

 

Sounds like the world and his wife are heading to Dortmund. Be less in Paris but then the allocation will be smaller too.

Zero points season ticket ballot from 12 today. Drawn Monday. Which is fucking mental imo. 
 

Just let them buy them. ?

Just the 8 days to organise travel.  

 

The lack of common sense is off the scale.

Absolute shambles - seriously, who earth is in charge of ticketing decisions?! Complete farce this year!

Booked PSG without a ticket, travelling on ferry from Newcastle to the dam then train to Paris. What’s the chances of picking up a ticket out there, very slim chance I would expect? Where would be best for watching the game in Paris?

 

Also, if becoming a member of nufc would this give me a number whereby a ST holder could transfer me the ticket through friends and family or can tickets only be transferred to other ST holders?

Nah, you can’t transfer away tickets. Your only hope would be if you found someone willing to sell and the ID checks weren’t particularly stringent. Feels unlikely on both counts tbh.

This was hilarious, we were in there and saw one bloke drinking out of those half coconut things, about 2 mins later everyone standing round sipping out of them and they'd sold out

 

Mongozo if my memory serves.

Milan tickets have arrived. Looks like we are up in the gods block 346 ?

[Slim]

Least you can be the ones throwing piss this time.

Taking your passport to get into a football match is a joke like - might have too book more time off work when I lose it after Isak's hat-trick goal! Kept back for one hour and no booze inside the ground and hardly any bogs ha ha!

I know it's the Italian government and or Milan putting those requirements in place, but the blame rests with our owners for not signing a back up right centre back during the summer window.

I was in Bennaz when the draw was made and I usually organise stuff so I left it in the hands of my 'capable' mates!

 

Milan - One of the lads driving to Edinburgh 1am Mon - 6am flight to Milan, Weds 9am - Milan to Edinburgh, then driving home

 

PSG - This is going to be some week! At the Darts at Minehead Weds to Mon then me and one of the lads flying Bristol to Paris 2.25pm, Weds 4.15pm Paris to Heathrow then on to Newcastle land at 9pm

 

So those two did well..............

 

Dortmund - Sun 10pm Newcastle to Dublin, Mon 7am Dublin to Dusseldorf, stopping there two nights (train to and from Dortmund match day), Weds 1.25pm Dusseldorf to Munich then on to Manchester then train to Newcastle arriving at midnight!  

 

Quite an adventure that last one - I love my Sunday sessions so I hope I get on the first flight 

 

I'm just gonna be at work while Paully does all this fun shit.

Kept back for one hour? Just teleport out of there like you did at Everton.

Pitch didn’t look the best at the San Siro already.

[Ketsbaia]

I have no intention of watching our first UCL match in 20 years on the sofa at home..... does anyone know of an organised meet-up in Durham or Newcastle?

 

Of course, the alternative option is just to walk into any pub

Mich is the transport costing you mate??

[Kid Icarus]

Been to Bruges a few times and based on the people I've spoken to our visit was a mix of good and bad (they might have been being kind because they knew I supported Newcastle) but they would happily never ever see another West Ham fan as long as they live.

[Kid Icarus]

Or maybe another English team. Just googled it and can't find the match.

I'm not going but my mates received his ticket and the only mention of his name is in biro on the side ? surely that's not what they check the passport against?

Wouldn’t be so sure of that. Are the details not on the QR code for Milan to match up and the handwritten names just for groups to know whose ticket is who? I could be wrong like but even so they won’t except altered names on tickets ?
