Gorgie Spiv Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) 18 minutes ago, J80MBO said: Anyone explain why we might be at home first despite being drawn away first? Surely not to accommodate Zurich and their concert at stadium? With no away goals, being home team 2nd leg is the advantage. To have to change this advantage due to having a concert already booked in the stadium, like it was almost pre-planned this way or am i being a bit too foil hat on head.

Why did they book a concert at their stadium on what they would always have known would or might have been a European night and why would UEFA let them away with it. Makes a mockery of the draw.

JimmyCant Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) We looked at the Milan route. 2 things put us off. First the direct flight gets you into Milan at 23.45 so you have to stay there till morning. There was another way to get there earlier but 1stop and double the price. 2nd, the train return was nearly as expensive as the flight Got too complex and expensive and wasting too much time travelling so we binned that idea but maybe we missed something workable I suppose Flight was £250 for anyone who fancies a look Edited August 3 by JimmyCant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elljay Posted Wednesday at 19:23 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:23 Wed out, Sat back, to Zurich. Not changing my Zurich hotel as return flight is at 07:30. Really hoping the management at Zurich or UEFA see sense and make it an early Kickoff. I can cancel the hotel up to midnight on the Sunday before and have £35 on Linfield at 8/1 to qualify as insurance for the flights, so am covered for a cupset.

Jambos_1874 Posted Wednesday at 20:58 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:58 Booked hotels in Zurich. St Gallen and Belfast and can cancel up until a few days before the match as required. If we get Zurich I think I'll just stay in St Gallen. There seem to be multiple options for flights to airports the wider region of Zurich so should be covered there. Is anyone planning on travelling to the match themselves? I'm desperate to go to an away game but annoyingly all the people I go to Hearts games with only go to home matches and very rarely travel to away matches so won't have enough loyalty points for this match (and aren't keen on travelling anyway). I'll be going regardless but hopefully I'm not the only one travelling on their tod! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
