Sadly I can't make it over for the Vitesse match but I'll be there for the home leg. Glad you're all being kind on my scarf purchase, I was a little worried it would get me banned from the forum!

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!

Here's my trip report for the match if anyone is interested

Just realised that they only go on general sale when I'm in Rotterdam I don't get back until Sunday. Might have to try and find some dodgy internet cafe when I get off the bus Thursday morning.

Estimated Flight prices assuming we're playing first leg away: Vitesse: £100 to Amsterdam + Train Costs (will be super cheap to arrange bus travel there) Sturm Graz: £200 to Vienna + Train Costs Charleroi: £120 to Brussels + Train Costs (will be super cheap to arrange bus travel there) Vojvodina: £230 to Belgrade + Train Costs Shamrock Rovers: Super duper cheap bus would be easy to get on Beitar Jerusalem: £380 + Other Travel Costs Odd: £92 to Oslo + 3 Hour Train Costs Kukesi: £350 to Tirana + A lot of other travel costs to go north Podgorica: £400 direct Jurmala: £180 to Riga, minimal travel costs after.

Current scores from the undecided matches: Charleroi 5 -1 Jerusalem Vojvodina 3-0 Jurmala Shamrock Rovers 0-2 Odd Kukesia 0-1 Porgorica Coefficients: Vitesse (10.195) Sturm Graz (9.135) Charleroi (7.440) Vojvodina (6.275) Shamrock Rovers (5.150) Beitar Jerusalem (4.200) Odd (2.875) Kukësi (2.825) Mladost Podgorica (2.125) Spartaks Jūrmala (0.850)

Any idea what the ticket sales are like now? Mine had a reference number of 300 something but I've heard from other people it's as high as 750 now. Any more clues?

Where did you hear that from? I think the club would've mentioned something if it were true.

Lots of sources saying it's €15 million now

What's the season ticket record since moving to St. Mary's?

http://www.football-league.co.uk/news/article/2015/stand-up-be-counted-a-portsmouth-fan-abroad-2533056.aspx This is pretty great for a laugh. Some yank is one of their loyal shareholders and has visited the hallowed turf for the first time. “I’m rarely, as my friends would tell you, lost for words like today, but I’m just so proud to be a small part of this club. Every part of Fratton Park is almost how I always imagined it to be.”

Got my ticket now, haven't had any sort of email confirmation which is a bit odd but it shows up in my purchase history. Do we get posted the ticket itself or something to exchange for a ticket when we're there? I've not travelled abroad for a match before!

Jim Lucas: Absolute mudbath here in Bischofshofen. Should be an interesting one!

Are you sure? I was under the impression today is 90 minutes and it's the weekend's fixtures that are 45 minutes.

Don't suppose it's being broadcast anywhere at all?

He's going with the rest of the squad to Austria yeah. Bertrand, Targett and JWP the only three I'm aware of who aren't going.

Well I'll be getting one the moment the clock ticks over to 9am on Wednesday, fingers crossed there isn't some crazy rush between now and then! 52,000 the capacity there right? Can't bloody wait

Any idea of how many tickets have been sold today? I'm so nervous about not getting one! I expect they'll not run out prior to general sale but still, I'll worry until I've got one in my hands!

Great opportunity for Targett

Don't have a season ticket but me and a mate have all travel and accommodation booked. There's no chance of this selling out before general sale right?

Any idea how the broadcasting works prior to the group stages? Is West Ham's home match being broadcast tomorrow anywhere and will our Third round games be?

Already got mine sorted! £120 for travel there and back for four days and two nights in Rotterdam. Just need to make sure I get a ticket now!

I see Morgan is back at Staplewood for pre-season. Don't suppose it's worth reading into it at all? I thought Ronald wanted him gone before pre-season started like with Clyne? I can definitely see Turnbull starting this one. Should be a very good pre-season, lots to follow and look out for.

Looks like their League Cup Derby match is being broadcast on Sky in August; any idea what the TV revenue there is? Good chance to show off the gorgeous Fratton scenery to the country once again.
