He also asked if home fans would be hostile. And it's not £800 airfare. My group are travelling for under 300 and most have paid no more than 400.

The whole point of European aways is they're meant to be hostile. If it is, enjoy it and stick together.

We're thinking of doing Jerusalem on the Friday. Not any trains back to Tel Aviv after about 2pm though.

Hi Gadi, Is it true that your fans were blocked from getting to the San Siro because of anti-Israeli protestors? http://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/Developing-Fans-blocked-from-Italian-stadium-because-they-are-Israeli-467839

Why don't I? A ridiculous assumption to make.

So we'd have sold out if it wasn't for Southern Railway? Go away you nonce if people are travelling home on Southern railway then they live close enough to be able to drive if the train is bad enough to stop them going.

Didn't know that. Should be pushing 29k then.

There's also been adverts round town to visit the Mary Rose in Portsmouth over the last few weeks..

There's a lot of things you can bash Pompey for but boycotting the shambles of the new JPT format is not one of them. Shame the 200 odd scabs we had that went to Charlton away didn't have the same morals.

We've sold about 25,500. So roughly 26k with Sparta fans. Then whatever pay on the day will take it up to.

This is probably the most important game in the group for us. Our direct challengers for 2nd place so need the 3 points. European night under the lights at St Mary's, looking forward to this and our other European games more than I will be for any league game this season.

The same railway line that was just as sh*t last season when we virtually sold out both our home games in the same competition. Our fans are spoilt brats and in the main don't deserve the relative success we've had in the last few years.

4pm bang on but was delayed

Just stood next to the team waiting for the train to London. Ward-Prowse shouted Play up Pompey when a Pompey train came in on another platform. Tw*t. Van Dijk was strutting about like an A lister.

Good idea but annoying it's been left a couple of weeks to sort out. Deposit put down for 10 seater bus. Still 2 seats left if anyone is interested.

Just had a call from the ticket office seeing if there's any interest in transport from Tel Aviv and back after the game.

Looking for a spare Arsenal ticket too.

Also I wouldn't worry about tickets for the home end in Milan, I'm sure it'll be fine. They can hardly say they'll accept away fans as they'd have to deal with 100s/1000s but in practice they won't bother. As has been mentioned before they said the same for Arnhem and we had loads in the home end. For domestic aways Saints say you won't be allowed entry to an away ground with a concession ticket if you don't have ID to prove it but that never happens in practice either.

I have 73 for Be'er Sheva. Surprised to hear someone's got number 150.. Thought that'd be what we took in total. Impressed.

2 spaces left.

10 seater minibus booked back to Tel Aviv for after the game. 6 spaces already taken, 4 left. £200 total cost so will be somewhere between £20-30 per person depending on how full it is. PM or reply to this if you want a seat.

Give me or Dan a shout if you have any space for the way back.

I'll be amazed if we take close to 800. I'm sure that anyone who wants one will get one.

So are people planning on making the 11.06pm train back to Tel Aviv? The north/university station seems a bit closer but it still looks tight to make it after the game. Tel Aviv Savador center looks the most central station to go back to.

I would complain if that was the case when there was enough demand to sell the tickets, but 800 to Israel at short notice? Can't see it in a million years.
