Obviously ours and the rags fixtures are the mirror image and iirc what happened that year was that the team playing at home first had lots if not all away games before the CL games. So I think what actually happens is that the champions get to choose which whole set of fixtures they want, without changing individual games, and GPC chose the better pre CL games and that's why we were home first and last - which obviously backfired on the pisscan!peoffrey said:Billy Spurdle said:peoffrey said:Still one or two predicting a home tie when the Champions always start at home!

From experience, there's almost always tickets available on the day after late drop outs. All it takes is for someone to fall ill or just not turn up for the Coach when a mate has their ticket. Try the designated away Pubs mixed in with forums like this. You're not guaranteed a ticket but if you're quick then you should be OK.
