That doesnt sound right.


Not just the manager either.

Apparently Chelsea have only sold 600 tickets while we’re going as 3000 strong

Arsenal have a big following in Asia, so I expect our UK numbers to be swelled by people going to Baku from all over the middle east and Asia, as well as Eastern Europe.

Big boost for us and a decent season if we can pull off the upset.
They key will be how well Hazard plays. If he's on form we have no chance, if he has an off day we're in with a shout.

Why don't you just go ahead and support Spurs like the band wagon fan you are?

You were never an AFC fan you were a Wenger fan, he's now gone so I don't understand why your still here to be honest?

8 of us travelling from Riyadh, and that's just the ones I know of. There'll be plenty of Red and White in the ground.

Sami Mokbel: Arsenal will reward their players with as much as half a million pounds per man if they lift the Europa League trophy in Baku next week.

Good, that is what Abrahmovic did in the CL in 2004 against us. lets hope that it has the same effect on our players.

Puts the EL and the CL into perspective .... EL in Baku, it's actually very nice, but it's in the middle of nowhere on a Thursday night with maybe 10,000 club fans in the City .... CL in Madrid one of Europe's finest on a Sunday with maybe 150,000 club fans in the City ....

Both sets of fans being horribly ripped off on flights, accommodation and tickets ... for the EL most fans quite rightly have blown it off, for the CL they will be sleeping rough and standing in the streets just to say they were there ...

We need to be back in the big time ... so f**k Chelsea come on let's win this

A lot of people kicking off about the prices etc, but let's be half sensible here.

I booked accommodation in Baku in March, really good price for a half-decent hotel. It was subsequently cancelled, but I did find an alternative for almost the same price, plus the booking agent will settle the difference.

Flights can be booked through travel agents that will guarantee at least an 80% refund of costs if you need to cancel (Opodo for one). Plenty of opportunity to secure better value for money travel, or help other people out if you're that way inclined.

Of course companies are going to raise their prices, they're greedy bastards - they've been doing it for years and will continue to do it.

People doing the Europa League down when we've not won a European trophy since 1994 make me laugh. :arsesmile:

other than club reserved tickets, I believe we will much more than chelsea fans. Airplane tickets are so expansive for bakü and nearby cities, I am wondering how many azerbaycan fans will be there.


This is a must win game. CL ticket will bring us hope for next season and transfer window
