Spot on. Bergen will be slightly easier and cheaper to get to than Iceland, but IF we qualify and that's where we're headed then the prices will quickly rocket same as they did in this round. Once you get there it will be similar prices to Reykjavik, if not more expensive. Netherlands far easier to get to via far more routes, and less expensive when there (I assume). I've booked a £25 one way flight to Gatwick on the 14th as it opens up loads of cheap(ish) routes to both. If we don't qualify I'll just burn it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cognac VSOP is another easy seller to double your money. Was employed out of Norway for 25 years making lots of trips over there. Should you go Norwegian beer gives a hellish hangover stick to Carlsberg trust me on that. Average cost in a pub is £12. Used to take a bottle of malt over easy to sell and double your money . Norwegian customs are strick so don't take more than your quota. If you like seafood your on to a winner. I hope it's the Netherlands just so much easier to get to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houston_bud Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Now sold out for Thursday. Great to see. How does it work with gate receipts in Europe? Does the home side keep them or are they split like in cup games here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the allocation for the away fans wasn't sold out, so they've sold off the unsold tickets.. Ignore that pish. Maybe there were some free tickets that weren't taken up.

I always assume when the club announces tickets are sold out it means all those available at the time have been snapped up. No harm in keeping a few back to announce "last few available" thus sparking the scenes we saw this morning and the subsequent excitement and publicity it generated. Afe old marketing ploy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I'm guessing there's still going to big spaces in the North Stand mind you. 900 tickets sold to home fans and that tweet yesterday suggested we're only expecting about 70 away fans. So over 500 empty seats. That a fair bit of segregation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkmenbashi Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 15 hours ago, Billy Jean King said: The whole not letting fans mix is pretty rare throughout Europe. I've been to umpteen matches all over Europe over the years when not a supporter of the club whose section I was sitting in, it was never going to be an issue imo. It might prove to have been our last chance, most I spoke to there weren't willing to take a chance there will be another round. All about individuals risk assessments I suppose, no wrong or right answer here. Let's hope we all get the opportunity again after Thursday. I think the Netherlands is one the countries where there is zero tolerance of fans mixing. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if there is a block on people who are not already registered with the club to buy tickets in the home end. But otherwise what you are saying I think is mostly correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogbrush1903 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 On 30/07/2024 at 14:14, Div said: Sigurdsson was visibly upset trudging off the pitch in Iceland after the game. One of the Valur coaches went to console him as he walked towards the stand and said coach then stuck the middle finger up at the Saints fans Either way it's a boost to us if he's not playing. The more I read about this sordid case the more I want St Mirren to absolutely pump Valur...if Sigurdsson is so precious then he should've been more judicious in his personal life. On a side note, I've seen ÍA Akranes, Breiðablik and Valur all at Pittodrie and the latter was the least memorable... although I do have a soft spot for ÍA Akranes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a reliable source for what actually went on? All I can I see, officially, is that there was a 2 year investigation / travel ban. No action was taken against him though and he left the UK. There was even some talk about Sigurdsson suing the authorities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given he won't even be here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
