I get the distinct impression, right or wrong, that the first game we play in Europe, competitively since 1974, would be an old timers reunion.

I reckon its an over 40's party with the hosts in for a bit of a shock.

Must say and personally I'd be over in a shot; chartered flight, no ticket and generally "enjoying" the hospitality.

Any thoughts on what it would be like - other than fecking mayhem? :lol:
 


not many would be able to afford it so perhaps not many fans travelling
 
Yeah right, they would be out in force for this :lol::lol:, cheaper to gan to Europe than to London etc

Don't bank on that, airlines rocket there prices when they identify that fans want to go.
 
7000 at Juve v Man City the other night. Truth is the Europa League is not a money-maker at all. But prestige-wise of course it would be good for the club.
And it would get a monkey off our back.

It would interesting to see how many we would take to a game in Italy or Spain.

Anyone know anyone who went to Budapest or Lisbon in 1973?
 
Ticket or not I will be there,wherever in Europe it is.

At the ripe old age of 32 and having had the mags throw it in our faces for f***ing years,this is the sort of thing I dream about.I guarantee that wherever it is,there will be f***ing thousands go over.
 
IF we did qualify there would be tons of people over for the first game. I know I would likely go.
 
You think? We took nearly 1000 to the Amsterdam Tournament and that was a pretty meaningless tournament!

I would be there in an instant like!

can be combined with a holiday though - might be wrong but I certainly won't be going.

There wasnt many. Most of them are dead now but I knew one bloke - john Musgrove (RIP) - who went and he reckoned that there was about 500 in the Nep stadium. He travelled by rail as he worked for BR.
 
I reckon Feyenoord away is one of the few places we wouldn't get any bother due to our SAFC connections but anywhere else and it would be mayhem.
