I’d prefer the poll to allow us to choose, say, 3 options as there are so many tempting ones.

For me, as a Tier 2 STH, it would have to be a big away ground eg San Siro, Hamburg (Shakhtar), Roma, Benfica. But for personal, sentimental reasons I’d love SC Freiburg where I was once a ST holder, or Young Boys Bern, as I used to live not far from there. Both small grounds though, so less likely to get a ticket.

I don’t want a French team, Feyenoord, or Galatasaray.

We would get loads of tickets, they often play big matches (which that would be) at the Olympic Stadium. Even there normal Europa League ground is an allocation of 1500+.

Cheers for that.

Just the £2000 flights via Turkey to find an alternative to now :lol:

Just want to go as far in this tournament as possible.. we've been spoilt so far. Preference would be for a winnable last 16 double-header of:
Shaktar (Hamburg/incredible),
Braga (unique stadium/warm)
Young Boys (Alpine wonderland, mortgage renewal/bankruptcy and lots of toblerone)
Rennes (easy to get to, lovely and very winnable)
Lens (same as above maybe less exciting)
Freiburg (hadn't considered this but looks ace also)

Then onto Quarters it's Portugal, Spain or Rome please please please.
Shorts/t-shirts, ice-cold ales in the sun Athens style.

Worst outcomes:
Galatasaray (a grim experience by all accounts + Zaha)
Qarabağ (just refreshed my geography and looked at a world map... this has got to be one of the most dangerous locations in the world!.. a stones throw from the Ukraine front line, a chair-luzz distance from Gaza, bordering Russia and Iran FFS)
Marseille again (just a big fat NO)

Tbf I wouldn't mind Marseille again ....amazing experience at their ground just don't take the bus and we know we are better than them

(But obviously it would still be way down the list)

Group winners can’t play each other so we can’t play any of Liverpool, West Ham nor Rangers for that reason.

We couldn’t play Liverpool or West ham even if they weren’t seeded could we? I was under the impression clubs from the same country can’t meet until the quarter finals. ???

Freiburg. Great city, great fans. Was so looking forward to the possibility of Union Berlin but they finished last :(

Freiburg is a fab medieval city in the Black Forest, full of students and lovely fans. Marvellous cathedral and the best Currywurst I’ve ever had. Small stadium though, and new. The old stadium was one of my favourites.
