NurembergVillan Posted February 23 Moderator Share Posted February 23 In a peculiar twist of fate, Ajax's left back is called Gaston Avila - which is how Claudio Ranieri would pronounce our club name. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, hard to know until we get details of the allocation, but for context, the AZ game sold out within a few minutes. Cheap flights, not too far away, plus proper knock out European football against a well known opponent, and just generally a well liked destination for a day or two away, this will sell out in no time Edited February 23 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It holds 55k. Should get 3 to 4k minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Ajax are getting themselves sorted out. Definitely the hardest draw of the teams available. Just didn't want a tough draw as this round is before Spurs and West Ham games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted February 23 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23 Brilliant draw against the 5th best side in Holland! Should be a cracking tie against a big club. There were easier ties available but this is what Europe is all about. Can’t wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can smash them by half time like AZ and then make a lot of changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only tie in either competition between two former European cup winners. Just have to paper over the last 20 odd years for both clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're sorting themselves out, but they concede a shedload and aren't in great form. Obviously tricky enough, but we're not doing Union SG, Olympiakos or Dinamo Zagreb so it's happy times really. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Eastern Europe where could still be freezing cold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
