Munich Away Game

[Superstar Tradesman]

Seems to be a lot less hysteria surrounding what I would class as a much bigger and better occasion than the Atletico Madrid game.  This could all be down to a number of reasons so we'll have a little poll to see what the general consensus is.

 

Is it just down to the fact that people aren't panicing for tickets this time?

 

Will there be as many travelling but more on the charters?

 

Just doesn't seem to me to be the same buzz as last time and I can't figure out why?

 

What's your thoughts?

[Kowalski]

Wouldn't miss it for the world!

 

I do get the feeling there are less going than went to Madrid though.  Perhaps people are skint because they thought Madrid would be the trip.  Some others maybe couldn't get a pass, or time off work.

[Guest Nellie The Don]

I will be on the other side of the world, a trip which I have been planning and looking forward to for some considerable time before the Munich game was on the cards.

I won't be there (and also looking increasingly likely that won't be able to make the home leg either) due to other commitments - holidays already arranged (one at new year, one in feb and one in april) so money is a bit tight taking care of them and work would not have been happy either.  I wasn't over for the Atletico game either, I should add, so my hysteria levels have remained the same 

[Sharpie]

I've bought a ticket and I'm trying to wangle it as a work trip. I've managed to see the Dons a few times as 'work trips'.

[Wazzamatazz]

I'm going and cannot wait!  Missed Athens and Madrid because I was working over in Canada at the time so there's no way I'm missing out this time

Goin but dont have a ticket! forgot to put ma order in with ma clubs allocation!!

[Penfold]

Don't think there'll be a problem with tickets for this game, and I think that's why there's less "hysteria". I only know a small number of people who went to Madrid but not going to this so although I don't think there'll be as many, it shouldn't be too far off.

Are you a season ticket holder?  If you download a form from www.afc.co.uk and post it asap you might just make it in time for tomorrow's deadline.

First year in 5 i havent had a season book! typical!! I got Sheep shagger to send his ballot paper off yesterday so heres hoping! Im sure wee wont sell the full 6000 so ill be ok!

[Mackie's ace!]

I'm not going as it's 6 weeks before my final exams and I have 4 deadlines in the 2 weeks after the game as well. I was lucky enough to be able to manage Madrid, so I'm not too bothered about it.

I initially thought we would take significantly less, but already we have the same amount of Globes or people we go to games with normally traveling. Ticket all sorted through the supporters club this time, no panic.

Madrid was 4 days before an exam I was due to take 

 

Luckily they messed up with the paper work and I couldn't sit it, I'd have been fucked otherwise.

Think the first part of this post sums it up.

Think back to Madrid, ticket allocation 3,000 odds = mad scramble for tickets

Munich, initial ticket allocation 6,200 + plus up to another 4,000 if required = tickets for everyone thats going, therefore no hysteria.

 

Anyway, got mine for home and away legs..... bring it on

Fuck that Al! Very little beer for me this time around mate. The consequences are just too dire to contemplate!  

[GlezgaRed]

Only missed Dnipro and Athens because I just couldn't swing it logistically with social commitments 

 

I would bust the bank to see The Dons anywhere in Europe, these days it only happens once every

5 years at the moment so you can't afford to pass up these chances

[Ajja]

Gonna be selling my flat around the time of the game and can't justify the money or time 

[Monkey]

Falls right in the middle of Edinburgh schools' Febuary half term so I'm not able to go! 

 

Why should people at my work with children get priority for holidays at times like that?

 

You'd think they'd want to be working when their children are off school so they don't have to spend time with them!!
