We are in the "Grada Visitante" Upper Stand ... Gate 25 ...
I presume this is the Birdcage?
That is the birdcage, the plot thickens.
I can only presume Villareal have limited the allocation because of the behaviour of past British fans there.

Well me and a mate have a 2 day trip booked and are nowhere near the points criteria.
Fuck it, I'll go in their end
Do they let away fans in their end?

I've been to Villarreal with Rangers back in 2006. I stayed in Valencia and the train to Villarreal is about 40-45 mins from there. Villarreal is very much a poor town with a rich club owner it seems. I think it has a population of somewhere between 30-50k, and El Madrigal is a bit of a dump! You'll all be shocked. There isn't a lot to do there so I would advise people to stay in Valencia, which is a fantastic city with plenty of good bars/restaurants.
Hope some of the above was useful!
Ps. Watch out for Spanish Police...they don't need an excuse to assault British fans.
How many briefs did Rangers get ?
I think we got about 1300. Not 100% sure though. I'll find out.
I didn't have a ticket, neither did about 10,000 other Rangers fans who travelled. We went in big numbers as the first time we qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League. Plenty made it in with fake tickets and home end tickets. I'd estimate around 5000 fans made it into the stadium.
The crush going into the stadium was unbelievable, the Spanish Polices' method of checking your ticket was real, was holding a lighter under it. They also closed the shutters 20 mins before kick off leaving lots of fans outside.
As I said before, beware of the police. Very heavy handed.
No problem at all, nor will there be any sign of trouble.
