Danish Saint Posted 7 August, 2015 Share Posted 7 August, 2015 Midtjylland is a fusion club between Ikast and Herning. Home stadium is in Herning. They won the Danish Leauge last year and have a very good Academy policy like Saints. Flights into Copenhagen with trains running to Herning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 7 August, 2015 Share Posted 7 August, 2015 Away to Watford on the 23rd August Home to Norwich 30th August not bad and not far to go. You have to have a very good chance of going through. we are the better side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Armstrong Posted 7 August, 2015 Share Posted 7 August, 2015 First two messages I received after the draw... From a radio presenter in Sunderland: Paolo Di Canio's Sunderland beat them in last pre season friendly of his tenure. They were mid season too. You'll be ok! From a Danish fan: Good draw for you guys. FCM had a great season last year, but no real european experience. Boring city though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screws up my leave plans, was hoping for a long weekend in Southampton to take in The Euro match and Norwich match. Cat in hells chance of getting to the away game for 99% of us Back to the drawing board and gamble on getting a Watford ticket .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pass the Dutchie Posted 7 August, 2015 Share Posted 7 August, 2015 They beat Manchester City in Manchester, back in 2008 (I'm reading the same Wiki page as everyone). Good draw. Close distance (very important) and winnable under normal circumstances. The Danish league isn't better than the Dutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazlo78 Posted 7 August, 2015 Share Posted 7 August, 2015 The Danish league isn't better than the Dutch. The Danish league is considerably worse than the Dutch. Promising young Danish talents use the Dutch league as a step up, and if they do well there, they can move to an even bigger league. Like Christian Eriksen with Ajax (and countless others of whom most failed miserably and went back to Denmark...). Loving that we drew a Danish team though my chances of getting a ticket is slim to none... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 7 August, 2015 Share Posted 7 August, 2015 Meget godt! I have been to Denmark many times and it would be good to go there again. I see a road trip coming on with a few days taking the Mrs up the north at Skagen. It's a pity the Esbjerg ferry has stopped because it's a day's drive from the Hook of Holland. I have driven it from Chandlers Ford in one day a couple of times but I was younger then. What do we reckon are the chances of an away ticket?
