October game at home would do me this year to come back for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland Ever More Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Right some cunt post decent routes to Albania. Think I'll give Israel a miss. @wanderer what you got for us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Fancied Tirana but looks like Albania play in Shkoder; an hour's drive from Podgorica over the Montenegro border which will be easier to get to potentially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got enough away trips to organise this year already as it is You'll be having a good year then! Budapest and now Israel and Albania.

Is the new national stadium in Tirana not due to be reopened this year? We could be the first team to play in it, Mibbees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningtings Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Apparently a 22.5k new stadium in Tirana. Both Israeli stadiums are 31k, so a better chance of a ticket for us low pointers I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these could be our only 2 competitive away games in a period of almost one and a half years. Unless I've misunderstood something? A lot of folk don't do friendlies.

BucksburnDandy Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 From a personal point of view, three teams was more than enough financially for me. Two competitive trips and maybe a friendly more than enough for me this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 May only get 1,000 tickets or so for Albania if Tirana is not finished.  More can be negotiated of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Jim Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Albania & Israel were in same WC group and finished 3rd & 4th to Spain & Italy, so not much to learn there: no surprises. Albania qualified for the last Euros of course, 2nd to Portugal, ahead of Denmark, Serbia & Armenia.  Then finished their group ahead of Romania.  Away wins seem their speciality!  Israel did nearly as well as us.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoonTheSlope Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If you win the nations league do you still then go into the normal qualifying groups but play those scheduled matches in the group as friendlies? Similar to what France done in the euro 2016 qualifiers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
