my preference is
1) Odense
2)Twente
3) Udinese
4) Zurich
5) Kazan

if we get Twente we'd play in Arnhem, u can fly to Dusseldotf Weeze and then a coach there for like 1 hour.
Odense, Ryanair fly to Billund, then a direct bus to Odense in 1 1/2 hours. or fly to Copenhagen, not sure hour long a train is to there.

Zurich flights at the minute are £120ish! and i havent done my research on Udinese, how do u get there? and what airports can u fly to and catch a train?

Udinese's well easy Danny, loads of airports in NE Italy, or even Milan or Turin! Cheap flight to one of them or Verona is closest, and then the train! :wink:

I bet we get the piss easy draw of Odense, then a piss easy group that we can finish second in.

Then the GIC will stick to his "non buying" policy and trip out that statistic of "only 2 teams in Europe have qualified from the Group stage in each of the last 10 years"

If he hasn't added to this miserable squad by then, I for one hope that its Rubin or Udinese, who actually stand a chance of knocking us out. Then the fans revolt will really begin in earnest......the club haven't seen anything yet.

Dunno but it's about 62 quid to get to Milan... Dunno how the hell you get from Milan to Udine. Venice andn Trieste are far closer, think they're more expensive mind! Maybe you could try Ljubljana!

Milan to Udine roughly takes 4 hours by train (no changes).
Verone to Udine is 3 hours!

200 quid return London-Trieste with Ryanair if we're away the first week.. If we're away the second quid it's 145 return. Bus Trieste-Udine will be dirt cheap.

Verone to Udine is about 30 euros (one-way). Return ticket would be about 55 I reckon

Alternatively you can fly to Slovenia... Ljubljana is closer to Udine than Verona and Milan!

Trieste is the nearest airport . about 30km then Vevice, but that might be expensive this time of year. If your thinking of Milan then fly to Bergamo instead with Ryanair.

Still none of this will matter if and when we get Kazan :roll:
