The big Europa adventure thread

[Jondon]

Winning the Europa League will secure us automatic qualification into the 2016 Champions League group stages. Not that bothered about the European Super Cup to be honest, but would be a nice bonus, a bit like the North of Scotland Cup.  

​Except you need to beat the Champions of Europe to win it :-P

[Jondon]

out of interest....

 

I am of the belief one round would be great and to bow out without getting battered would be great.

at what point though does the europa adventure starting become a drain on the clubs finances and players?

I was also led to believe that as we go in 1 round after Aberdeen in theory we could be drawn to play them????

in truth though I just hope that

A. I can go to at least one leg

B we don't get humiliated

and C I can afford the away leg

​I know we made about 2-3 million from our 3 rounds. However, i'm sure St. Johnstone and Motherwell made a loss. I think the experience of playing in Europe will help you guys immensely, no matter what the finance bonus or loss

What are the chances of the club offering seats a decent rates on their charter flight from Sneck? Makes them pennies and helps out fans.

I'd be up for that. Surely there will be 80-100 seats available to fans on a 140 - 160 seater charter.

Would certainly cut out a lot of the logistics for many of us.

Possibly one for CaleyD? If the first leg of rd 1 is tight we'll be hanging on till the 16th and the away game could (will?) be 7 days later.

If the club could even give any hint of provisional travel arrangements and look for notes of interest/deposits it would be great.

[DalgetyBayJaggy]

I'd take 2 seats if anyone's keeping count.

 

[12th Man]

I'm assuming the sequence of home and away is still up in the air.

Sounds like a good idea though. 

[CaleyD]

The club have been speaking to two companies who specialise in travel for these kind of things but with a large number of possible locations it's not practical to draw up options for them all.  Once the draw is done on Monday and the options are narrowed to just a couple (or we may actually know for sure) then I'm sure things will quickly kick in to place.

All I can say for now is that the club have asked that chartering a larger plane and selling the additional seats be looked at as one of the options.

[Renegade]

The Gellions are chartering a plane I believe.  Christ, hope it lands in the right place!

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Here is the Gellions planes preparing for take off

A few journalists might want to travel too...although the seat next to Chick Young would need to be heavily discounted.

[Yngwie]

Whilst I understand your concerns on that front, I'm pretty sure Rangers will have a meaningless midweek friendly that will require his full attention.

​If he was given an ejector seat I am sure a few of us would be happy to subsidise his air fare.

​Aren't they playing in the Petrofrac Cup about then? 

[Alex MacLeod]

St Johnstone chartered a plane last year and sold seats to fans. They have indicated doing the same this time. They use a travel company called TMG Sport

[CaleyD]

I should hopefully be in a position to put up some info about this in the next couple of days.

Dundee United have frequently done the same in the past.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Caley D - can you post a flyer ?

[Scotty]

he will so long as you promise not to whip out your undercarriage ! (again)

[12th Man]

I've got my transport sussed. I'm being delivered by DHL
