Don't know if Groclin in Poland has been mentioned in the UEFA cup 2003/4 season. Only a small stadium, think it was 5/6 thousand. Probably had a few hundred there but only had a small allocation. Felt like it was in the middle of nowhere.

Was there that day, quite a few Blues from what I recall, like you say a very small ground though (and a very shit match)

Pretty sure Spike did 3 planes to that one so maybe 600 on them plus a few hundred independent travellers.
Hotel he used had a casino and a nightclub, the latter being more of a Blue Oyster bar as it was just full of blokes.
I think Groclin as a club no longer exist or are called something else now.
Great trip, shite match.

I remember (not very much actually, shit faced on the Polish vodka) that our end was full and a fucking nightmare to get into. I also seem to recall the Polish riot police all lined up for us after, but nothing went off as all the Blues were too pissed/pissed off for any mither

I went to that one in a car with 3 lads from work.
From what I remember there was a reasonable turnout.

Loads there that night. We had a real expectation of our first semi for a while -soon had that knocked out of us. Fucking awful drive home

Edit - semi final!

I was on a spike flight and we stayed in Poznan. Surprised if he had 3 planes though, but maybe he did. It was one of those trips where alcohol plays a part in blurring the memory.
 
The lowest City attendance at a match i have attended was actually in our first year in the Champions League - November 2011 Away to Napoli - 800 City fans were in the right hand corner behind the 'netting', so that fireworks and objects couldn't land on us! Most City fans were put off the trip due to the tales of the dangerous local gangs and stabbings in the ar**.... I went with my Wife and our friends, a couple from Manchester, she knew from her work... it was, errr, interesting - meeting up in the Port and being bussed to and from the ground to 'avoid' contact with any 'gangs' - we lost 2-1 with Cavani getting a brace and Balotelli getting our goal, we were held in the ground, and then put on buses which sped around the ring road for an hour, while Napoli fans on scooters road past with scarves flying, jeering and goading, with some City fans responding by pelting them with coins. We finally got dropped off in the Port again ,at that point the Carabinieri said' 'Arrivederci' and we were left to walk back to our Hotel in the Centre, at one point, we saw a group of youths with scarves over their faces down a side street - we quickly walked in the other direction - it was an EXPERIENCE... nice trips to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast though
 
Has to be the Faroes game where we took about 150 but that was trumped by the last Shakhtar game where there was less than that , I had a letter off Cancelo thanking me for going and inviting me to a hospitality box for the return leg
