Is there a minimum clubs can claim of capacity? I thought it was 5% so they will probably get 2 sections (roughly 1500) And we will get a minimum of 1250 tickets but potentially more depending on how big their away section is They played at a pretty big ground V Qarabag, not their own ground, I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try to clarify this - Right: 23.03 If more than one club from the same city, or within a radius of 50km (31 miles) of each other, is taking part in any of the UEFA club competitions and/or plays in the same stadium, and if the association and the clubs concerned explicitly declare when entering the clubs that their matches cannot be played on the same day or on consecutive days, the UEFA administration may alter or confirm dates and kick-off times in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee. Sure this is different from when we drew Spurs; if I recall, Fulham was moved because of lower co-efficient than Spurs Anyone who wants to look through these: https://documents.uefa.com/search/all?filters=FT_ContentType_custom~%22Competition+Regulations%22_%22Technical+Regulations%22*FullSeasonYears~%222022%2F23%22&content-lang=en-GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't fancy booking a direct flight with some unheard of company. Edelweiss are owned by Swiss Air so they're legit. Any flight has risks just now with all the cancellations etc but Swiss are a good reputable company. Zurich is extremely well connected by train so you could fly to most places in the North of Italy, East of France, South/West Germany and Austria and be there on the train in 4-6 hours just depends how much of an issue that is for you. Theres usually cheap flights to Cologne so maybe look at there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do agree with those who say FC Zurich are likely to progress it might be better if Linfield get through,more and cheaper ways to get to Belfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be going with a friend who works in the travel industry and he has been online since the draw looking at all travel options, I'll trust in his decisions/contacts to get it right. Jus as the draw was made return flights for Basel were £130, and 15 minutes ago they were up at around £260. For somewhere like Zurich it is a good time ro know someone travelling who works in the UK rail industry, where you can then fly to the likes of Berlin or Cologne and the UK rail employee could deal with European train travel.

stirlo Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Geneva and Milan are both decent options for getting to Zurich. Trains from Milan Centrale to Zurich every couple of hours and it takes around 3 hrs and 15 mins. Trains from Geneva to Zurich around every half hour and takes around 2 hours 45 mins.

I'm not going to give myself a "reality check" because i'm excited my team is in Europe. I dont expect to win, but i still enjoy the prospect of playing a team that wasnt the hardest tie we could have received.
