booked.
might have cost me £100 for the flights to florence but it's less of a fuck around than a 2 hour train.
and found a cheap hostel close to the ground too.

Who are you flying with?

What's the hostel?

 

[Andrew]

can't see how you could complain with this draw. It's fucking florence!
think istanbul in winter.
NOW FUCKING FLORENCE IN SPRING! (close enough)

it's like a 1 hour walk to the stadium from the airport!

Guess who'll make Mario Gomez look like a world beater again?

Just kidding,not even Kaboul could make this kind of sorcery

 

[Biff]

Most appealing away day for a long time. Can't afford anything right now but pay day end of the week.

 

[Macca]

Is this likely to go GS?
I'm a member with 150 LP's, but unsure of what the cut off will be??

Who are you flying with?

[Millbanks]

Should be a great tie. Better than some of the CL last 16 ties.

 

[YidoBuckler]

Macca flying to Pisa...

Spurs-Fiorentina 50 - 50% chances ,everything is possible ,i watched them in EL group stage,they played with the second team and qualify easy,i believe now the situation is changed ,and Spurs will meet their first team,also Spurs must play with the best team (Premier League team) because against a team from Serie A ,Spurs must play serious,like curiosity, a romanian goalkeeper there ,also national team first GK of Romania,Tatarusanu -ex team mate with Chiriches at Steaua (2 years ago),a GK who played in every match of Fiorentina in the group stage ,he received just 4 goals in 6 matches(him or a possible situation to be Neto,their brazilian GK in Serie A matches,but Tatarusanu is their first option as GK in E.L)

 

[Freudlyuchenko]

I hold the belief we'd be amazing in the Serie A. All of our players would likely to well on the Italian Peninsular. Probably that is why they are all linked with moves to the place.

Booked up. Cheap as chips,

 

[Dannyboy]

Delighted with this draw. We can win this, plus it is a great team to face. Loved Fiorentina in the mid-90's - Rui Costa, Batistuta...locals are a bit touchy though, which isn't too surprising.

 

[YidoBuckler]

Seems like theres a lot of us going to this one....

 

[BushHillSpurs]

Seems like theres a lot of us going to this one....

Reason is that we all think we are going out ASAP and also we might not qualify for next years. I'd miss European tours too much.
Doing every single one for the foreseeable future.

All you lucky bastards going to the game, while I'm stuck here in Australia and probably going to have to wake up and watch the game at 5am before work...

Flight tip for people thinking of going, fly to Pisa instead of Florence as it's less than half the price and they're easily connected by train (same county).

Thanks a lot for that - have booked flights to Pisa for about £90 less than the cheapest to Florence, and from a better airport for me this end!

I have also booked a direct coach from Pisa airport to the centre of Florence for a total of £8 return!

Hotel also booked - right by Piazza Del Duomo, which hopefully is near where all the Spurs will be drinking in the afternoon.

 

[SpursLegend]

Anyone know when tickets are likely to go on GS for this?

Never, I'd expect.

I am not fully confident with 250 points. Asked a ST holder if they will be able to apply for me though - would make me much more confident!

And we get terrorists thrown in as well!
