tom_widdows Posted August 31, 2023 Author Report Posted August 31, 2023 Love how this draw system works KI knocked Hacken out of the Champions League but end up in the Conference Quote
Panda Posted August 31, 2023 Report Posted August 31, 2023 You can simulate the draw here if that sort of thing turns you on. https://draw.inker.one/#/ecl/gs/2023 Quote

Both great places to get pished. Only ever passed through Florence on the train so would be delighted with Fiorentina. Draw back would we would get fucked in all 6 games. Quote

Goldie03 Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 You could combine it with a trip to Moominland Al - probs better fun than being at the game ha 1 1 Quote
Panda Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 Have they not done away with the direct Aberdeen to Frankfurt flight? I was in Helsinki in July (albeit briefly, was staying in Tampere 90 minutes north of it). They like their reindeer meat over there. Quote
OrlandoDon Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 Comments about the trips and travel, any thoughts on opponents and games?? A finish team and we’ve seen PAOK vs hearts, plus Germans. Well? Quote

The other four games we're getting gubbed. Quote
Slim Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 No reason we can’t finish 3rd, PAOK are beatable at Pittodrie (but then so are we). Frankfurt will be the big trip for most people I’d imagine, although there are loads of other cities in Germany preferable to Frankfurt. PAOK play in a part of Greece I’d love to visit but concerned it may be a bit “stabby” as an away fan? Helsinki could be a shout depending on the timing, I assume it’s fucking freezing late-November/early-December? Quote

A finish team and we’ve seen PAOK vs hearts, plus Germans. Well? From what I have seen of PAOKs games against Hearts I would expect us to lose home and away. Not seen Eintracht this season but if they are anything like as good as they were last season that could be another two defeats potentially heavy ones. Don’t know anything about Helsinki so no idea what they are like. Quote

I know nothing about any of them except Mario Gotze plays for Frankfurt, and Hearts were unlucky not to beat PAOK at home so let's not be scared of them. Plus when we play them in Greece it'll be a lot cooler weather wise. Now, where's good to stay in Frankfurt? Quote

I would consider staying elsewhere and training it in on the day and away that night. For example there is a train back to Düsseldorf at 2311 which would be a better base. Quote

Aye, fun fact, but I used to live in Germany (near Monchengladbach) and been back so many times for football; Dortmund, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and Cologne. It's just an amazing county, brilliant for football, and it breaks my heart that we're going to make the people of Frankfurt unhappy by pumping them. 1 Quote

Flights already booked for Frankfurt and working on Helsinki also Quote
Panda Posted September 2, 2023 Report Posted September 2, 2023 Booked up for Frankfurt. Going by West Ham's allocation when they played there, we should expect 2400 tickets. Maybe we'll get more if the interest isn't there from the home support, but we're the Dons min, their biggest game of the season, so can't see why they wouldn't sell out. Quote

Flights already booked for Frankfurt and working on Helsinki also Well, it's no bad thing to get frankfurt away out of the way right at the start. I'm fucking delighted to not be going to Greece until November when the weather conditions will be far more favourable for the dons to play in though. I would also say it's great to be getting frankfurt at home last game when they will probably have already qualified too. I would say that draw couldn't have gone any better for us 2bh Quote
BigAl Posted September 2, 2023 Report Posted September 2, 2023 Helsinki flights booked as well as Frankfurt. Bring it on COYR Quote

Bring it on COYR I was only in Helsinki for about six hours two months ago so don't have an extensive knowledge of the place. However, near the ferry terminal down at the harbour, there's loads of food markets where you can have a meal for much cheaper than the normal Finland prices (which ain't cheap as you can probably imagine), and the portions were great too.

Good info Panda We haven't booked accommodation yet as had no idea about the place and will need to do some research on areas of the city. Quote

Reekie_Red Posted September 3, 2023 Report Posted September 3, 2023 You'd have to think Jensen might have a bit of in-depth knowledge of Helsinki, perhaps more than we could gather from a recon Quote
