Champions League 2018/2019 (Shaktar Donetsk, Lyon, Hoffenheim)

[dowty]

Hotels look a bit pricey there

Looks really nice though. 2 nights your looking at £200 granted, but 2 nights in a travelodge in this country isnt far off that and when ive only paid £41 for return flights its not so bad.

What’s the score with Hoffenhiem ? The place looks Shite
Anywhere closer with good transport links ?
Is staying in Frankfurt the better option the ko is 6-55 so train back after is an option

Heidelberg or Mannheim are your best options. Heidelberg is a bit pricier but also a bit nicer.

Public transport is included in the ticket so I am fairly sure you can get to and from either for free.

I personally think Frankfurt is a bit far to try to get to after the game but should be possible given the early kick off.

Think I’ll do Lyon. Funnily enough, was supposed to stop off there on the way to the Monaco game a couple of years back, but ended up in Annecy instead; such are the travails of travelling.

Flights to Karlsruhe booked.
Would it be okay to base myself there.

I have to be careful what I say here, so don't shoot the messenger. I've never really been a conspiracy theorist but what I heard a couple of months or so ago made my draw drop in disbelief.

It could finally have sky blue ribbons on old big ears in May. EUFA want us to get to the final his season and the balls will come out as kindly as possible for us in each round of the draw. Last season UEFA and the sponsors wanted a Madrid Scouse final, and they staged one, hence not punishing the scousers till after the final with a nominal slap on the wrist fine. Bent as fuck sham as many of us thought. How do I know this? I don't actually know but all I'll say is a little fly on the EUFA wall told me it is staged every round. The same balls came out in the rehearsal two hours before the draw was made when we got Liverpool, semi draw was rigged too.

That's what I heard from someone who was there to see it happen and the eyes and body language told me he wasn't bullshitting me.
We had quite a few drinks and the alcohol loosened his lips to reveal this. My lips are sealed now, that's all I'm prepared to divulge: /
I'm lumping a wedge on us E/W though; )

Can’t see it. They absolutely despise us, New money upsetting the cosy old order, booing the anthem, Pep’s stance on Catalonia, filthy Arab oil money.......
The treatment we’ve had off UEFA has been nothing short of hostile, why the fuck would they want us to win it?

Lyon H between Fulham H and Cardiff A
Hoffenheim A between Brighton H and Liverpool A
Shakhtar A between Burnley H and Spurs A
Shakhtar H between Southampton H and Rags H
Lyon A between West Ham A and Bournemouth H
Hoffenheim H between Chelsea A and Everton H

Couldn't really be much better.

We'd usually end up with the problems the dippers have.

What are people’s thoughts ticket wise for Lyon?

Think they’ve got a decent size ground so allocation wise are we looking at near 3000? If so, would 15,400 be enough for a ticket?

Doing the West Ham game so plan on going from London area on the Sunday but unsure as to whether I should book flights.

Anyone done Thomas Cook?

Can’t be arsed fighting for flights.

Still waiting to see if I can get a Week off for Hoff.

Probably missed the cheap seats.

Is Spike doing any flights?

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Well that was a nice surprise. We couldn't really have wanted a better draw. Happy days.
