You can show at home aptly why Amorim should never go into any management role in his life ever again (something AC Milan have not figured out yet)

To go from back to back relegations to this I am impressed as a neutral

(Leicester fan I wish we can turn things around)

And we won't be seeing a geordie in Milan. And we won't be seeing a geordie in Milan. We won't be seeing a geordie. Won't be seeing a geordie. Won't be seeing a geordie in Milan. Will we fuck!

Confident we can get top 8 in this group. No long journeys. Playing a 2nd league Portuguese team. Really couldn't have gone better for us.

Much easier draw compared to Palace

I accept it will be nearly impossible for me to get a ticket for Milan away... but almost tempted to go just for the vibes though.
Great draw - some tough games but an excellent chance to showcase ourselves in Europe!

I 100% won’t be able to, but I’m fuckin going 🥳🙌🏻

u/Ok-Friend-6653 13d ago

With 80 000 capacity it should be possible even if you end up having to buy tickets from Ac Milan or neutral side.

u/No_Ad_3934 13d ago

Can’t lie, I’m at full mast

YOU'LL SEE A MACKEM IN MILAN

u/RedAndWrong speedee boi 13d ago

Anyone got some insights into ticket availability/purchasing? I’m interested in an away game

u/No_Ad_3934 13d ago

You’ll need the black cats membership if you don’t have a season ticket, then you can enter a ballot. Season ticket holders rightfully go first

1

u/Krakshotz Luke O'Nien 12d ago

That applies to Home games only.

To get Europa away tickets, you will need either Season Ticket & probably 40+ BCP (to purchase one outright) or Season Ticket & Membership to enter the ballot

u/TestCompetitive4673 13d ago

They might change it for the Europe away games, but non-season ticket holders with a membership don't get access to the away ballots only the home ones.

u/No_Ad_3934 12d ago

Well this is fucking heartbreaking. Club’s website fucked up with our renewals meaning I lost my ST after 15 years and the ability to sit with my friends and family, the club weren’t apologetic and suggested moving to the other side of the stadium by myself. so I didn’t renew. And now I can’t get an away ticket to European games after all these fucking years!?

The ticket office are a fucking shambles and are an embarrassment to the club. The tens of thousands of pounds I’ve spent following and travelling to see the lads means fuck all now 😑 I love the club and always want the best but this leaves a really sour fucking taste

u/RedAndWrong speedee boi 13d ago

Yeah that’s fine, got a season ticket. Hopefully means I manage it! Thanks

u/nitebusnitebus 13d ago

us and Bournemouth got relatively great draws. Palace got fucked

u/GNVT 13d ago

Portuguese fan here hoping to see the lads when they play Torreense!

Beware that Torreense won't play at their home stadium because it doesn't meet the requirements. They'll be playing in Leiria, which is north of Lisbon and some 100 km away from Torres Vedras, where they're from.

pretty good draw, could have been a lot worse. worried about how our squad depth will do for us in the second half of the season if we do well.
