The away end would be interesting. Hope not anyway, i'm booked for Seville...they couldn't get any further away than Girona! 😅 Yes. I know you were saying that with tongue in cheek but i was just making the point of the game being played in that stadium as an absurdity. It can't be true... SURELY.

Anyway surely this Girona talk can't be true.A stadium that holds 13000.On loss of income alone from playing it there rather than in a 55000 stadium in Seville it must be nonsense. That could easily be £1 million plus. Why would they do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaint Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Why would they play it in such a small stadium. Can't see what they would gain from that. Maybe a tight 25000 or 30000 stadium could be quite intimidating but hardly think international players would be shaking at the thought of playing in front of 12500.

p gala ta Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Sounds a load of rubbish . Why would they put it on Wikipedia and not announce it officially ? A 13,000 stadium is asking for crowd trouble . The Spanish FA have a contract with Andalusia but Girona is in Catalonia which is a no go area for the Spanish national team . Seville looks nailed on ,probably still negotiating fees with the stadium . I hope so anyway as we are all paid up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holds fewer that 12000 I think. No way match will be there. The venue has been updated and changed a couple of times on Wikipedia. Either by someone on the wind up or by an idiot. Or possibly both.

Daddymac Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 The cut off for announcing the venue surely has to be soon ffs. Thought it was 120 days? My crap maths put that being the 14th June. Play the game and tell us as price of flights are going through the roof🤷♂️🤦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempre Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Spoke to a Spanish mate with a pal in the Spanish FA. He says the venue likely won't be announced until after the Spanish elections on 23 July. He said it will be Andalusia - which we already know - but doesn't know where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s way inside the minimum time to announce the venue , but after Ukraine blazed the trail by announcing games six weeks before , who knows ?

If it's in Andalusia, but it's not in Seville, it's gonna be a considerably smaller ground (bad news for lower pointers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Pete Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 2 hours ago, tattiescone69 said: 120 days now 😤 Shouldn’t be too much longer then. I think they had until yesterday (or today maybe?) to inform UEFA of the venue. UEFA will then inform the SFA (presumably fairly quickly) and the SFA have a few days to object. Should be announced in a week or so surely if the SFA are happy with the venue? Maybe a bit longer if the SFA have any concerns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4Footsoldier Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 It's hard to imagine the SFA would have many objections unless it was a comically small stadium for away allocation. For probably their biggest home game of the group, hard to imagine they wouldn't pick somewhere substantial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
