European grounds

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Trying not to get ahead of ourselves but after the last week or so’s results a question.

Which countries are allowing or planning to allow fans back into stadiums?

Need to know for the draw when it’s made for all our travel hopes !

Forgive an optimistic, giddy, hopeful blade!

 

[drinksmat]

Outside of Belarus, not many at the moment.

You'll be getting a bollocking from the gaffer

 

[FreePaulRodgers]

Apparently the draw has already been made.
We have drawn FC Tomsk in Siberia.
It is so cold there that the virus can’t survive so fans will be allowed into their 10,000 capacity stadium with 500 away fans allocated.
It is a 14 hour flight and at the minute it is best to take the 70 hour car journey....

Sing up Blades.

We're going abroad...
First time we've been
And it's quarantine
We're going abroad

I’ll share the driving

Denmark, Sweden, parts of Spain. I'm optimistic crowds will be back in most of Europe soon, but not full capacity.

According to Sky, 8th place could qualify

Should (Man) City or a team in the top five also win the FA Cup, and City's ban is upheld, the Europa League second-round qualifying spot will drop to the team who finishes eighth - with the sixth-placed team taking the second available group stage place.

Sure I saw a game in Poland with fans in ground.
Be surprised if government don’t come up with a law to stop Clubs selling tickets

 

[BarcaBlade]

Been to games in Czech Rep during the past month. Crowd limited to 500 four weeks ago and to 1200 last week.

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

I’d imagine we’d enter into the second qualifying round (depending on what happens with Man City).

[Inter_blade83]

Don’t give a fuck.......The loyalty points “syndicate“ will be working overtime. Friend of a friend of a friend of a friend un all that.

 

[Dutch Blade]

It all depends on how the Corona virus plays out, but currently Denmark, Czech Republic, Hungary & France are the countries where they are already back to 3000+ capacity allowed.

Most other countries are already starting up aswell, but in The Netherlands we currently don't allow awayfans when the league restarts in September, so I doubt we would be allowed to go there as it currently stands.

Can I park on your drive mate?

 

[BanbridgeBlade]

Can I park on your drive mate?

You can if you sort me out a ticket

 

[Canterbury Blade]

I’d be tempted to go regardless. Excuse to see another place. And as others have said I’ve waited a few years to even get this near. Game will be on local telly, so may even get a good atmosphere in a bar.

Plus if you don’t go then you’ve certainly got no chance of finding a way in. In it to win it and all that.

Might even get one of those Mission Impossible masks made and pretend to be one of the bench players. Anyone know if they do belly masks too? Sort of lose 4 stone ones? Otherwise my fuller figure may put paid to my impersonating plan!

Good, Gdańsk is high on my list of places I need to visit.

 

[Maidenhead]

Dynamo Minsk it is then!

That would give Katchuro a bit of a dilemma

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

Good, Gdańsk is high on my list of places I need to visit.

Gdansk would suit me too as she is a Jam roll and her family live down the road from Gdansk

 

[jt64]

Lots of Eastern Europe is alright, Hungary completely fine, Czech Republic and Poland fairly unrestricted, will likely head to Prague to get a couple of games next month myself. Would check here:

Don’t give a fuck.......The loyalty points “syndicate“ will be working overtime. Friend of a friend of a friend of a friend un all that.

In a "normal year", it's easy to guard against loyalty point fraud for European away games. Allocate the tickets by loyalty points, take the applications, take the money. But, collect the ticket in the foreign city by presenting your passport in person. That way the person whose points they are has to be in the foreign city to collect the Ticket. OK, they can still pass it on, but they've had to travel to Minsk to do it. I've had to do that for years at England away matches. That system was also used for Piacenza away in the Anglo Italian. Although, we did find a Blag around that.
