Champions League 2018/19

[Liam]

Yeah I’ve done early/early

Good shout, too much time in Dam can be dangerous....

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

So, what happens if we win this thing?

What will all us mugs do?

This ride has been more fun than any domestic cup run. Just saying...

 

[Wotspur]

Didn’t realise we had 4 Ajax old boys....Sanchez is also ex Ajax, with Toby, Jan and Eriksen. Toby tweeted that the Ajax boys were ‘coming home’ .....clearly strong affection still there.

Also didn’t realise/remember that Sánchez cost us £42m for a centre back. Hope that works out!!

Yes , when Sanchez joined us for 42m , the joke was
, “ it’s not the first time that 42m pounds worth of Columbia’s finest has hit the streets of North London , coming in from Holland “

Have you got tickets yet??? I mean I only need one, lol

 

[Wotspur]

Yeah I’ve done early/early

How much were your tickets ??
I might do the bus again , yeah it leaves Maidstone at 9.30 gets us to Dam for 9am and gets out of there at 12, and back to Maidstone for 9am and straight back to,work .
As i was, bored this afternoon , I curiously looked at flights to Madrid and accommodation and it would be £2k for me and the boy , rooms are already 500 a night .
Then I had a brainwave , fly to Gibraltar or even Portugal , hire a 6 berth mobile home (500 for 4 days) and with flights at 80 each , much more reasonable .
Anyway bring on the Ajax

 

[Wotspur]

Have you got tickets yet??? I mean I only need one, lol

I’ve got my home tickets sorted , the,problem with the away game is , my mate ,,whose season ticket I have been fitted from , selfishly only wants to use his own ticket ,mane has booked his hotel and flight .
Also Dutch authorities say , tickets have to match passports .....and they are fairly strict .
With only 2200 tickets , I’d be going just for the craic , as with only 160 pts , I’ve got no chance ,
However , should we get to Madrid I should be just about ok , but Callum unlikely , oh well

 

[Don Diaz]

My flight was £240, out of Heathrow at sparrows fart. Back same next morning. But accommodation is £0 staying with my Spurs Euro games mate, who lives there and speak fluent Dutch, we’ll get in somehow......

I’m also hoping I’ll get a ticket if we get to Madrid, lots of ways to get there, I like your thinking on cost effective solutions!!

Well I can speak double Dutch ,,so if your mate can get 4 tickets , him , you , me , Callum and Liam make that 5 ,,and Eire maybe and Finchbee .....so just make it 10 tickets , it’s all down to you

Sure that will be no bother at all

If you're getting way too excited about the prospect of getting to the final like me, and forgetting we've got to get past a very very good Ajax team first, when Real Madrid and Juventus didn't, then here's some stuff you should know....if you're planning on going....

A total of 38,000 tickets, out of a stadium capacity of 63,500 will be sold to supporters and the general public (but you've missed that ballot it was between March 14 -21),with UEFA indicating that the remaining 25,500 tickets will be allocated to "the local organising committee, UEFA and national associations, commercial partners and broadcasters, and to serve the corporate hospitality programme."

Here's a breakdown of the ticket allocations

• Finalist: 17,00
• Finalist: 17,000
• General public: 4,000 (March Ballot above)
• UEFA, national associations, commercial, broadcasters etc.: 23,500

That all seems fair eh? not. Here's the pricing....

Category	Price
Category 1	€600
Category 2	€450
Category 3	€180
Category 4	€70
Accessibility	€70
Youth Package *	€140

So not too expensive then.........assuming we get only Category 4 tickets!! I guess this is why the club has so far earned about £70m from the tournament, when I say 'the club'....anyway I'm not moaning, we haven't even got there yet. But if we do check hotels, hostels, Airbnb or any accommodation of your choosing, via your favourite hotel booking engine. Yep it's going to be about £250+ a night if you stay out of town. Of course park benches and back seats of cars are cheaper. Or we could all stay at Casa @Dorset (actually probably not) and get the train. Flights to Madrid are extra.

Oh yeah finally back to the tickets,... You're going to need about 180 loyalty points, or be an Executive box holder type member to get one of those, or be related to Mauricio Pochettino or know someone, who knows someone, who knows a Russian that's a senior executive of Gazprom.

Oh yeah finally, finally, no ps. It's on Saturday 1st June - so luckily (and you haven't been told this yet) your partner has arranged a family BBQ so you can't go anyway. It's on TV though......as long as you've bought the BT subscription.

Happy days - football it's all about the fans you know. Anyone starting to think that this sounds like the Superbowl final?

Stop your whinging , just buy a box on your company and put it against tax , and that’s 10 of us sorted , I’m sure you can afford 50k
Keep my plan quiet for now , should we get there , but
“TO PLAN IS TO DO”

I, for some reason, thought that it was 25k tickets to each club but 17k is cack.... The prices are kack too. Having only 95 loyalty points on a season ticket I've little to no chance of a ticket yet have been too all the knock out games so far, will be at the game net week and trying to sort out the dosh to go to the away game...

I just gotta hope that loads of the ST holders can't for some reason go to Madrid and don't apply fior tickets to have any chance at all....

Gutted isn't the word.

 

[USspur]

I have already blocked my schedule for both legs of Ajax.

It's €500 a night to stay at Casa Dorset but it's easy to get to Madrid from my house, it's just an 9 hour bus journey - don't forget we lock the gates at 10pm so don't bother coming back after the match, you can't anyway cos the buses don't run at night time.

Sounds like a good Costa del Dorset it is!!!

If I miraculously get a ticket then I'm thinking flight in early match day out early net day, no hotel, beers, match, more beers, back to airport for an hours sleep, fly home. Yids on tour!!!

‘Kack’ is the new word of the moment, I’ll see you on Tuesday in Brown Eagle? And Amsterdam hopefully, I’m definitely going for the Krack, havent and won’t likely get a ticket. Should be a good laugh though

 

[J.spurs]

This is a great story about our former Ajax boys, and how they progressed through their system:

Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Eriksen prove you never really leave Ajax

The trio all made their name in Amsterdam before moving on to greater things, yet there is a reason why Ajax holds a place in each of their hearts

Let's hope they send us a few more....that supply line is working a treat.

 

[Finchbee]

All the dippers were laughing, average Barca performance and they put 3 past them

 

[Don Diaz]

Cough, I’m not sure, based on what I’ve just watched how much of a contest we can make a game against Barca. Messi was unbelieveable.

Salah missed an open goal, which was a shame.....ha ha

Straight down the tunnel at the end.....Egyptian sporting god ha ha not.

 

[BrooklynYid]

Maybe it ain't so bad if we go out in the semis after all

 

[J.spurs]

To be fair, on another day, the dippers could’ve had at least 2 away goals, and things would be quite different. Messi is Messi, but they’re not unbeatable. Still no shortage of schadenfreude watching Klopps face

[The Cryptkeeper]

Did especially enjoy that poser Salah hitting the post from 6 yards when he had to score.

It’s not a major surprise is it. A large proportion of footballers aren’t that smart or the nicest people on the planet and then these days the industry gives them millions of pounds. Shit combination really, you end up with people like Suarez, Terry, Costa and the like
