    Don't think my old man will go. Early signs look good with the wife (though that may change a few times yet), so we may be on and I could get you a ticket in my Dad's ST.

    Content with the draw...if we want to reach the group stages, we'll have to do it on merit.

    I'll be in Arnhem next week on a not606 reconnaisance mission. Any bars/restaurants in the area that I need to check out? Will report back...

    It was mentioned I think. The best thing about playing Vitesse is that it's unlikely that the 9th and 10th SS Panzer Divisions will be in defence.

    Is she going to do a Fabian Delph? :)

    If you can get a ticket with yours, then great, and we're on for that. We'll keep posted I'm sure.

    Brilliant draw. Why not start with a tough test.
    They made a fair bit of noise though as I recall. Especially after they scored.

    Saints listed our possible opponents...Vitesse and Sturm Graz stood alone, whereas the others were either/or situations, so I assume Vitesse and Sturm Graz had byes to this round like us....but were not seeded as high as us.

    Blimey, went on flybe and flights departing Thursday 6th and returning Friday 7th from Southampton to Amsterdam were £330 for one.

    I have no doubt this can be done cheaper, but probably not any quicker.
    Will be interesting to see what the club offers

    I've had a look on sky scanner and you can fly from Stanstead to Eindhoven for 80 quid with Ryanair. Bargain...

    Is it too early to start considering what the lineup for the Vitesse game will/should be?

    Let's get the Groningen and Feyenoord games, and then the Espanyol game, out of the way first, then we can have a match thread for the Vitesse games.

    Vitesse first leg is before Espanyol game! If we have the match thread after that, we'll at least get all our predictions and suggested line ups right :)

    Ah! You have discovered a tiny flaw in my otherwise perfect plan.

    Was considering driving over there as I'm now retired :emoticon-0100-smile and I was there last year for the 70th anniversary of Operation Market Garden (lovely people the Arnhem natives) so I know how easy it is to get there. Will look at costs etc and report back if anyone interested.
