Many supporters/fans here support the big teams. So i was wondering how man of you have been abroad to watch your team play in europe.

I have been to see dundee in italy in perugia. Great time there just a pity we got knocked out.

Only time dundee have been in europe since i have been born

Take it no1 has. Oh well. Must be due to finiancial reasons im guessing. Pretty poor was expecting a big response from those supporters of the bigger teams. Must be glory hunters

The last time my team were abroad was back in the 70's in the old UEFA Cup. Doubt it we'll be going anywhere any time soon either!

a whole ten hours and everybody has been written off as 'gloryhunters'?

get a grip.

i have only been to France when we played Metz in the Intertoto Cup back in 99 (i think it was)

perhaps because i have only been the once i am a glory hunter also?

its very difficult to get tickets to European away games and for a non regular fan its almost impossible so i think its pretty mindless to label everybody a glory hunter because they have not been abroad to watch their team.

I have never went to watch Newcastle in Europe, i must be a 'glory hunter' then! I still go to watch them up and down the country though. I suppose it must be different for you G_Man, just because you want to go to an away match it doesn't mean you will be able to. For you to be accepted at Newcastle you must have been to all of the other home matches in the UEFA Cup that season (or sometimes the majority). I have tried once or twice but with no luck.

considering Dundee have a maximum capacity of 11,000 i would imagine its a hell of a lot easier to get tickets for anything considering they cant even fill that and average at just over 4000 people per game.

an entirely different kettle of fish trying to get tickets for a club with a fanbase 4/5 times the maximum capacity of the stadium.

no i have not been abroad to see Arsenal and do not intend to either , i just do not have the money to splash out on a trip to Italy or Spain to see a match . I also dont see the need really , i dont feel any less of a fan if i dont go abaroad to see Arsenal play .

Its absolute nonsense to say you are not a true fan unless you go to plenty of matches each season , some people just cannot afford to pay the rising costs of following the top teams these days .

i've never been abroad to watch Arsenal. i almost went to, i think it was Barcelona, to watch a game, but i didnt really wanna go with the person who offered the ticket

i dont know what you have against him. conner is a nice bloke

Been to France Germany twice Iceland Sweden twice Danemark to see the Arsenal Ladies.
Been to England and Germany to follow my french team Nantes in the Champions' League.
Travelling is cheap into europe.

i'd go with him in a heartbeat come to think of it, i've seen Arsenal abroad many times! England is abroad to me

go on conner, make your move

he's too late! but lets get back on topic...

I don't really know why but for some reason I follow Torino as well as Celtic and I always look out for thier games.

I was kidding. Following your comments yeah we have a small stadium and yes a small fan base. 25 thousand we had at cup final "sold out our tickets" even sold out our tickets when in europe in italy, 2 thousand that was.
I know a few Newcastle fans who are based in dundee and they use to get tickets abroad no problem with Newcastle were in europe. The guy saud they never use to take a massive away support to europe.
Shlj your right it is very cheap in europe. Cost be 150 to go to milan to watch dundee in europe for a flight.

never been abroad with county.. but we plan to soon

Just the feeling being there following your team abroad, such a great feeling instead of watching them on tv. Only my opinion tho.

sure

Ok will take this to pm and ill give you details of this guy and you can have a word with him since your been a pr1ck about this.

You really have to watch your language on this forum Graham, all i said was sure. You are such a sensitive chap

Yes i noticed you said sure and i figured you meant sure yeah right whatever.

Pr1ck

grow up G_Man. you are like a 13 year old on a period sometimes.

for what its worth G_Man is right. Newcastle's european away support is notoriously pathetic.

you only have to look at the comparisons in the palermo matches between Newcastle and West Ham fans. its laughable.

I agree with both points there Steely.

G_Man please leave the insults out.

Also, G_Man you are right, Newcastle have horrendous support in abroad from everything ive seen and heard. I read a headcount from the Palermo game from a Toon fan who was there and I think he got 68!

i did show a picture of the Newcastle fans at the stand and West Ham fans in the same stand at palermo before. it was very amusing to see the invisible 'passionate north east fans' in action!

cant be bothered to dig it back up though, aint got a clue where i posted it
