[Archived] Uefa Cup

[Ste B]

just buy her a cake

no cake talk on here thanks. much as I like it after having two last time just before the game I still can't remember anything about the game. was that out of it I may as well been on mars, or west sussex.

leverkusen for me, loads of ways to get there, and the kolsch is superb.

[Jordan]

You arent looking hard enough Jordan!

Braga 32.96!!

Levekusen 40.98!!

Livorno 51.55!!

I will give you my sources after I have booked them

Mine were based on flights from Manchester. There are cheaper flights from London if you are wanting to travel down there first.

[herbergeehh]

Livorno offers tough competition, a world class striker in Lucarelli and probably a fiery atmosphere. They play the Russian national song before kick-off, I take it Eddie's coming then?

No Tel Aviv please.

Mine are from all north west airports, keep on trying.

Stu, I've already told the Mrs that I'm going, also told her the date.'

Grow a pair and tell her that you'll take her out when you get back

[den]

Was in Livorno a couple of months ago. The dock area isn't very nice, but get cheap flights to Pisa, where you can get the train down to Livorno.

Florence is within touching distance from Pisa as well.

[Manchester Blue]

Go on, mention it as a Valentines Day treat!

I've tried that tactic, without much success ;-)

All depends when and where for me. Won't be doing Istanbul or Tel Aviv, wouldn't want to miss Leverkusen or Waregem.

[Modi]

Its official.

Im not going.

Me neither, unless Waikiki United somehow slip into the draw.

[Ricky]

Christian I'm in the same boat as you.

They are the only two places that I won't go to. She's happy enough for me to go but she has said that if it's isreal or Turkey she is going to put her foot down.

I suppose, Heaven Forbid, we could take them with us!!!

[Moppy]

Are we definatly playing on the Wednesday. No chance of it being on the Thurdays or Tuesday?

Wouldn't dream of missing it and I will be belting it out with the best of them.

Won't go if it is Tel Aviv or Russia, but I'll try to make it to anywhere else, really hope I can get to a UEFA Cup away leg this year.

It's a 50/50 chance of being either Wednesday 14th or Thursday 15th.

When do we find out? Need to know if I need to book Tues, Wed, Thurs off or Wed, Thurs, Fri

[Eddie]

Should find out a little after the draw is made and the sides have sorted out the details. Possibly later today, but if not within the next couple of days.

[Mr. E]

I don't want Fenerbahche or Leverkusen, the others we can take with ease.

Just posted this on the other thread...

I'm assuming that the draw will be split in two and half played on each day to maximise TV revenue. That's what happened this week when there were no Champions League matches. On that basis I would have thought that it would be part of the draw to define the day of play.

One thing to take into consideration if we meet Lens... Lille are also sharing their ground for Champions League games, and I'm guessing that depending on how the draws pan out if there is a ground class Lille might take preference cos they're CL team.

No Champions League games on the week we would be playing them so should be OK.

Fair enough, I didn't check it, just heard it on ssn.

They're also in different towns !

Aye I know, but cos Lille don't have a big enough ground for the CL, they've been playing in Lens

[Jordan]

Just checked the fixture list for the weekend after the away leg and there appears to be no Premier League games.

Is this an FA Cup weekend?

They've drawn United. The last time they played each other it was at the Stade de France.

[herbergeehh]

Anyone getting the live video from uefa.com? Too many of you are logged on..

Good to see they are drawing both the last 32 and last 16 today, wasn't aware of that..
