The road to Prague

[GUNBOAT]

I have just suffered my Don't watch alone moment.

Some of last season's fixtures

AZ Alkmaar 2 Celtic 1
CFR Cluj 0 AZ Alkmaar 1
Ajax 1 AZ Alkmaar 2
Twente 1 AZ Alkmaar 2
PSV 1 AZ Alkmaar 2

Here is the stadium which is well out of town by the look of it,2 blocks behind the goal(L&K) in Tangerine house the away support.

It's on the ring road. Walkable from the town centre for able bodied ex soldiers!

Ok just checked and from the station - which is the other side of the town centre it's 2.9 miles. So by my estimate if your barracks are town centre it's maybe as much as 1.5 - 2.0 miles.

I don’t want to be negative but I just don’t hold out much hope of us progressing, in part because we seem to be behind in our preparation to build a squad/team, and secondly our record in Europe and Scottish teams in general outside the big spenders Celtic and Rangers in Europe is horrendous past 30 years. That’s just the reality.

I really don’t want European qualification just to be written of as a jolly, to me that’s like celebrating getting to cup finals. Sorry again for negativity, maybe few attacking signings might convince me otherwise but just not seeing it at the moment.

I think that's a realistic view. We look very unprepared for a European tie which will be played in just 16 days time.
But surprises can and do happen, and if there's one thing in our favour the first leg is at home.
Wee Jim always wanted to play away legs first but in our inexperienced position maybe a home leg all out onslaught is our best chance of springing that surprise.

An AZ fan on twitter said today he thought around 300 of them will attend Tannadice.He also said he expected around 12,000 home fans IF we play them.He also thought we would get more than the mandatory 1000 tickets if required.

If over 1000 faithful Arabs are planning to spend hard earned cash following the club to Alkmaar they deserve a stronger team by the first leg on August 4th.

Really hope AZ get through, as we've got flights to Amsterdam, and hotel booked in Amsterdam.

I really hope they don't as we've more chance of beating the other team imo.
