I read a few worried replies to the post from the club account on Twitter about the allocation. I think it should be. 1500 certainly wouldn't have been. A lot of our fans were over in Germany and some of them might struggle with getting to this a month or so following that given the cost of that. A few of my mates actually cancelled germany on back of us getting into Europe but most of us doing both and worrying about being skint later! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 2500 'should' be enough. With prices of flights etc having gone up quite significantly, difficult to see more than that travelling. If the worst comes to the worst with a 30,000 capacity stadium, surely a good chance to get in somewhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coooombe Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Booked up, flying to Heathrow then on to Brussels and catching the train to Brugge. Staying in a hotel in the centre near the main square. Can't wait for it now, can see 1500-2000 making the trip but don't see us selling all 2500 tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnseytheclaret Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 It's a decent-sized ground/ Imagine you'll be high up behind one of the goals. Great town with some fantastic bars and a good bit to walk around! Enjoy! I'll be at the home game as a neutral. Where's best for pre-match beers? Anything else to do in Killie to, er, killie some time? (We're staying in Fife and coming over via Stirling...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else to do in Killie to, er, killie some time? (We're staying in Fife and coming over via Stirling...) Went to Cercle vs Gent last year. Love Brugge, been a few times. In terms of Killie, the Dean Park is lovely. Free to get in and lots to see, deer, goats, shetland ponies etc. In terms of pre match beers, Portmann is where i'll be. Huge beer garden, so ideal if nice weather . You can see Rugby Park top right in the pic below. Other places i'd suggest pre match are Kadikoi (believe there's Cercle fans booked booked in there too), Macks Bar, Saltire Bar. All of which are on your way to the stadium from the train station, Kadikoi a slight detour. Park Hotel at the stadium is good option too, food is excellent and 10 secs from the stadium. Area to sit outside and inside even if just for a drink. Pics below. Other good food options are Da Vinci, Pings Pizza & WIngs, Longhouse, The Duke, La Dragon, Oceans 11.

Oldchap Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Really envious of you guys getting such a good tie. For us either Iceland or Albania are going to be logistically or financially difficult so can't imagine many travelling especially to Iceland where the whole ground capacity is just over 2000 so tickets will be in short supply . Also we can't book till a week before the game as it's not obvious who we'll be facing. Neither club has given us a ticket allocation yet either I fully intend to go though. Had thought about waiting till the next round and maybe a better draw but given experience of other Scottish sides we might be out by then. Best of luck on your travels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wright scores Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (edited) Can't wait for this as I didn't get a ticket for Connah's Quay and booked for Belgrade on the assumption we'd get through the first tie. It was the first chance I had to go abroad with Killie with my father and brother, but we all know what happened next. It's now too much hassle for my father to go (he's 87), so a bit bitter sweet going this time. Hopefully will get 2 tickets for my brother and I. Was in Brugge in April and am excited to go back as its a beautiful city with lots to do and see. Also some great Belgian beers to taste.

Best of luck on your travels Was talking to some of my St Mirren supporting friends who were telling me just how expensive the travel is to Iceland, so much so they will not travel there if that is where the away leg is. Shame as they weren't able to travel the last time St Mirren were in Europe and had been really looking forward to going abroad with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoomeddoom Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) Mozart, More than just Ribs is worth a visit if you like Ribs often go there if I go to watch Charleroi play Club Brugge or Cercle. Most things in the centre of Brugge is in walking distance so your not far from bars and restaurants. Edited July 4 by Adoomeddoom 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Jealous as f**k. Have been to Brugge 6 times. The Grote Markt is the main centre with plenty bars all around. T Brugs Beertje and Cafe Cambrinus are the best if you want to try Belgian beers in a cosy atmosphere. La Trappiste if you want a choice of hundreds in a big cavern, but there are around 20 bars where you wouldnt go wrong. De Halve Maan brewery is very much worth visiting. If it's more lager you want the Grote Markt bars will be fine. I would walk to Cercle which takes about 45 mins but not everyone can do that. Its a right pain on public transport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coooombe Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 It's a sell out. I'm stunned we've sold 2500 tickets for this, what an unbelievable support this will be. Fingers crossed we're still in the tie by then, but it will be a fantastic trip regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a great city, only been a couple of times for day trips so looking forward to spending a couple of days wandering around plus it's only a few hours on the train from Amsterdam. I really like Brugse Zot blonde and De Halve Maan is always my first stop, couple of beers and a bowl of their delicious Stoofvlees to get things started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Fair play to Killie, good effort, especially post Germany. Feel a bit sorry for Brugge fans having to travel to Kilmarnock for the return leg right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sortmeout Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I’ve got no idea of the distance but everywhere in Belgium should be within an hour or two - if anyone hasn’t booked a hotel yet you should consider Hasselt as a place to stay. I ended up there randomly on a last minute booking and I thought it was a great wee city. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A piece of useless information. Have a great trip Killie boys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
