    Just purchased my tickets and the U13 tickets are coming up as £0.05.

    I go with my brother, son and nephew and we were

    £22.00 for * Seats
    £0.05 for U13 Seats

    Restricted view discount, a hand rail stops a midget from seeing the corner flag.

    Everything went through okay with confirmation emails.

    If there’s anyone with kids (U13), get on now to purchase before they notice their co*k up.

    Going to be a huge step up in comparison to Rosenborg. We got the job done last night but i'm not buying this "it was a good performance" crap - we are lucky Rosenborg are rank rotten. They only progressed to the 2nd qualifying stage due to a dubious penalty against an Icelandic team.

    We, of course, have a chance to qualify but we are going to have bring our A game in both legs. We need Boyata, Lustig, Rogic and Griffiths fit for this. Demebele too but reading on here that he is out of both legs again? In this scenario, do we risk playing Eddy at the weekend? Probably not. Probably need to rest KT at the weekend too given he came off with a knock.

    We could be doing with a signing or 2 for this round but that won't happen... will it?

    Does anyone watch Greek football and can confirm they're a tough side?

    all I know is they lost both strikers, both CB from last season and their manager and this will be their 1st game of the season

    Watched about 10 games of theirs last season. They were pretty good - slightly behind PAOK - who are excellent at the moment. However since then they have lost some players and the manager. Having said that - they have a lot of fight about them. Can't be bullied on the pitch and they also have a big fan base. I haven't watched Scottish football to form an opinion on the outcome. Should be a good game. A lot at stake.

    Their fans seem fairly confident:

    Their game was abandoned against AEK after their owner ran on the pitch with a gun in his holster to "have words" with the ref about disallowing their goal haha. They only received a 3 point deduction and lost the league by 6 points so AEK still would have won regardless.

    1-0 to us, I think it’s vital that we don’t concede at home.

    Well, watching their friendly highlights vs Galatasaray, it's a concern that they have a set piece taker playing in midfield who banged in a nice free kick. Petros Mantalos #20

    Edit: On second viewing, it took a deflection. We can get the jump on flights to the final in Spain after all.

    Was looking at their results against PAOK and Olympiakos and they've got a great H2H record. I'm expecting a significant jump in quality from Rosenborg. PAOK humiliated Basel so that gives an indication of quality. There's been a lot of changes from last season though, and last night aside, we've been paying well. Hopefully we can catch them cold.

    Big thing for me is they have lost their 3 best players and the entire spine of their team.

    That has to have affected them.

    Expecting a much tougher test than Rosenborg provided, but can't help but feel quite confident. Like Shelby said, they've lost their two top goalscorers and their best centre half over the summer. Their other first choice centre half from last season is out injured for a month as well.

    If Boyata and Lustig are back then the defence should be in much better shape. Hopefully Dembele is back for the first leg, but I can't see it.
