They sold their allocation in less than a day so should be good.

Around 1,500. 5% as per Europa League rules.

should be good then… i’m just hoping as it’s our first European game the atmosphere will be good going towards the game… not like a normal match day!

Don't get your hopes up - its still a match at the Amex at the end of the day.

Do we have any sense at all of how many are travelling from Greece, as compared to those already living in the UK? I guess how could we know.

I can't find a message board for AEK Athens either, be interesting to see if they had an online space discussing the match and us as opponents?

Don't get too hammered, watching through blurry eyes, usually (one eye squinting so you can see)is not good though, and then at half time the headache kicks in....

Here's the forum

No idea if it is all abroad or travelling. It seemed very difficult to find out any away ticket information from the AEK side that wasn't local though, and seemingly went on sale in the morning, then Brian Owen tweeted they'd sold out a few hours later.

I for one will be disappointed if they don’t march en masse like a mythical Greek army from ‘spoons up the A270 to Falmer.

A few Togas might blow off if the weather doesn't improve by Thursday

I just hope that the kiosks in the away end have plenty of ouzo and retsina on tap, or we could have a riot.
