Cheers, very helpful. They'll hike the prices though I'm sure

Tickets will not be an issue. Don't they play European games at national stadium that holds 60k?

Click to expand...

No. Their home ground holds 6000. For European games this season they’re playing in a 31,000 stadium.

The national stadium is only used by them in the Champions League

Three reasons:

1) the biggest ticket fest we have ever seen
2) travel nightmare
3) no one can spell it. Already on the last week I have seen 11 different spellings, 4 of which were me.

Qarabag
Qarabaq
Qarabac
Qarabec
Qarabyc
Carabac
Qarabang
Carabash
Qaraban
Qarrabag
Qarabak

I’d be amazed if it was a ticket fest. I’d almost go as far as saying anyone who wants a ticket will get one. This isn’t sunshine and sightseeing in France/Greece or a 48 hour party in Amsterdam.

I prefer Carrierbag.

More useful. And less right wing.

I'll be honest, I have no idea how adding a u after the Q is right wing.
Equally, I have had a bit to so it may all be clear in the morning.

You'll be fine.

I keep meaning to ask you, all Eric Idle-like. Say no more.

That’s a decent road trip. Be pissed off if we didn’t get the 3 points

Looks like there is a direct flight, as long as you don't mind spending a bit of time in Baku.

Maybe split the journey up and base yourself in a neighbouring country, like Iran or Russia.

Oh..

Ah. So broadly similar to Clacket Lane services to the Dartford Crossing on a Friday afternoon then.

Probably the closest location of the remaining sides to me in Philippines, lots of easy flights to Istanbul and then on. If I thought I'd have a chance at a ticket with my loyalty points I'd be on the edge of my seat.

(Also still think will be Prague despite them one goal down from first leg, away?)
