Champions League - 2023/24 - Leipzig, FK Crvena Zvezda, Young Boys

Yip sure I was at least 35 quid each way

Yes, that was about what we were looking at the week before the game.

If any is looking at trains it worth looking for the flix train they were about a fiver each way but very few of them and possibly not every day.

Went to see Partizan the night after we played Zagreb a couple of years ago. Thought it was a bit bleak personally apart from the fortress area, although in fairness it was early December.

Some good food and drink and like you say fairly cheap.

Think it could be more sketchy as an away fan rather than a neutral but we'll see how we get on.

Yeah I went the first week of Sept last year. Weather was peak. Was plenty of street festivities that time. Fortress area is quite a cool thing to see as you said. Also really enjoyed the cigars in the coffee shops for breakfast haha. Did the little museum tour at the Red Star game and got to see the once illusive (to us) European Cup that they won. Staff were ace. Can see it being a bit more grim in the winter.

Agreed on it being a bit sketchy as an away fan, but probably not too bad for a club like City. I think the real trouble appears when they play Partizan and co.

Am I in too late for the jokes about Young Boys and the name of their Stadium ?

Only if you say you are looking forward to being Wank’d Orf by Young Boys

Young Boys having some fun! Wham.

Brightons Europa League group of Ajax, Marseille, and AEK Athens stronger than ours I'd say

If you add up the co-efficients of each group we are actually in the hardest group. The Rags are in the 2nd hardest group, Newcastle the 4th and Arsenal the 7th.

The easest group based on co-efficients is group E - Feyenoord, A. Madrid, Lazio and Celtic.

If you remove the co-efficient of the top seed in each group they are actually all fairly even.

And the Rags have the easiest “third seeded” team in Copenhagen
Quelle surprise !

usually around £15 one way from what i remember

Berlin to Leipzig return. Tried to book a group ticket which usually works out a lot cheaper but they said these weren't available. I didn't believe them so had to buy 4 individual return tickets.

If I do Leipzig I’ll be staying in Dresden, much better place for bars.

Compared to Dortmund I thought it was excellent
