Mr Hahn Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I've not been to any of our Euro away games but I've decided to change that this year. Was going to go last year but we got that stupid Russian mob. This majestic run of getting into Europe can't go on forever so getting my arse in gear this summer. Would love a Scandinavian trip but please not a repeat of last year's draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 ooooft. Bring it on. Hopefully i get to use Euros left over from Athens trip to watch us play Panathanaikos in the Olympic stadium. Hope we get a decent draw this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alba16 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hopefully a trip to Gibraltar or at least closer to home than Russia again. Amazing to think we are in this position and still playing for 2nd after losing almost our full first team last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I have managed to get along too: Mypa 47 - Finland Nancy - France Llanelli - Wales Steaue Bucharest - Romania Breidlablik - Iceland Odense - Denmark Panathanakios - Greece Like many would have gone last year. Kuban being only 1 of 3 teams out of 29 i was not travelling too. like many Well fans expect this to come to an abrupt end, but will enjoy it whilst it lasts.

hellbhoy Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Well done and good luck and hope you reach the group stages at least. I will probably take both my two wee nephews to a European home tie seeing as they have ST's at Firpark already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Will be hoping for a Welsh/Irish team in the early rounds as my funds will probably not stretch any further. A superb achievement for Motherwell. 6 seasons out of the last 7. Could this be the one where we finally make the group stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Group stages? I'd be delighted if we managed a fucking goal. It's been about four years! This will be our year! The advantage we will hopefully have is that we should have a similar team to start the European games that finished the previous season. The likes of Hammell, McManus, Ramsden, Lasley, Vigurs, Sutton, Anier, McFadden would line-up, all with previous Euro experience. I'd imagine a new centre-half and possibly a goalkeeper? Certainly makes a change from the last couple of seasons where we've had to thrown in a new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyWellFan Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Happy days. Another fantastic achievement for a club of our size and budget. Gibraltar please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Valencia, Nancy, Bucharest, Dortmund, Athens, Odense, Reykjavik - I've been on some amazing trips over the years and I can't wait for next season. Last year was a massive anti-climax as the trip to Krasnador was a step too far in terms of time and money for what was always likely to be a dead game - so somewhere accessible this year please. I've said it before but Nancy was the archetype for a european trip - nice place, close and a huge variety of ways to get there that suited most people's budgets. Andorra, Gibralter or San Marino would be nice - for a first game The Baltics would be a close second choice for me.... After a run of games where were outclassed completely by the level (and budget) of the opposition, it would be nice to get some peer group clubs or ones below us in the rankings this time as it seems bizarre to say it - but we need to get some buzz back around the european games after so many qualifications.

Andorra, Gibralter or San Marino would be nice - for a first game The Baltics would be a close second choice for me.... I don't think Nancy will be beaten. It was an unbelievable trip with an extraordinary number of fans travelling! So good I can't remember it! ETA: I don't really remember any trips (or games). My goal for this year (and any futures trips) is to try and be sober(ish) for the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Very true. I went to the away games against Nancy, Llanelli & Levante and I wasn't sober at any of them. Granted I wasn't the worst, but I was still well gone. I think the worst could be Mitch's effort in Nancy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: I don't really remember any trips (or games). My goal for this year (and any futures trips) is to try and be sober(ish) for the games I rank Dortmund just slightly ahead of Nancy as there was a good number of 'Well fans there and we played brilliantly against a world-class team - but Nancy was amazing. I loved the fact that as pretty much our entire "core" support was there - everyone was running into people they knew and it made it a brilliant friendly atmosphere. The singing at the game was superb as well - I remember the Nancy fans applauding on the way out. And there were some utter casualties there that would never have got into a game here Levante or Odense was the most pished I've been at a european game - Panathinaikos was the least as it was too hot for me to be into it at all.....

Swello Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Go on... Was it him that did a header off the fountain and was away in an ambulance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamdunk Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I've only been to Levante, but I loved it. Great atmosphere and went absolutely mental when we scored that offside goal, so at least got to cheer a goal, wasn't til later I realised it didn't count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faddy88 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Have a quick look at who we might get here https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=4FE4712A1E3EA4FA!156&ithint=file%2c.xls&app=Excel&authkey=!APYjeAAn075dSR0 Some nice trips there if we don't manage to pip Aberdeen to 2nd, some b*****ds too though. Also, our coefficient has shot up so much cause of the last few years, we only need 5 upsets to get seeded for q3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
