Had a Portuguese guy working for me at one time who's parents had Hotels on the beach in Portugal, and he was always offering me free holidays over there. Didn't take the offer up but it would have been nice to have had somewhere for a stop over for the game.

Thinking about going, but not too sure about it.

 

I want to go - Depends if i can get a ticket though.

 

I think I'll be there.

 

My problem is, I want to go but, I always take my Son to the games
not sure what his mother would say
probably nothing as long as she could come along aswell for the shops

 

She can't grumble at that.

 

This is going to be for ST Holders with 100+ points only i'm guessing.

 

yes,but money talks

the true SoL holds 65,000, so it all depends on how many tickets Newcastle take up

 

It'll be at least 70.

 

Don't have nearly that many!! Guess i'll just have to see what happens.

I'd be surprised if they didn't give us a few thousand

 

It is meant to be in the top 10 stadia in the world.

 

We've taking a chance and booked our trip to Lisbon. If you need 70-100 points we'll be fooked and we'll be watching in a Lisbon bar.
However I think it will be a lot lower plus I'm expecting an allocation well into the 1000's.

 

I wouldn't be so sure! Ladies, lovely things though they mostly are, are trained from a young age (a bit like ninjas) in the art of grumbling.

 

....The only issue I'd have with your very astute observation is they're not trained at a young age to grumble, it's a primal instinct they're born with.

Give me a stand off with a terrorist anytime, at least you can negotiate with them.

 

They say women make better negotiators in those stand offs. I find this hard to believe. I wouldn't call nagging the fecker to the point when he thinks "**** it" and detonates a success!

 

I reckon with Benfica's gates we could be talking upto 10,000. I'm pretty sure Celtic played there a couple of seasons ago and were given that many.

I remember years ago doing an NLP course and the discussion got onto the only two fears we're actually born with, falling and loud noises. Immediately I thought " Bollocks....I distinctly remember being sh*t scared of my missus when I was in me mam's womb "
