If you was a Newcastle fan

Post by ClaretsPadiham » Thu Aug 31, 2023 6:16 pm

Following the Champions League draw and Newcastle getting drawn against …

🇫🇷 PSG
🇩🇪 Dortmund
🇮🇹 AC Milan

My question is if you could only go to ONE of the away legs which would it be and why ??

Or to make it easier if Burnley got drawn against these 3 teams and you could only go to one which would it be :lol:

Dortmund. Went to the then Wesfalian Stadion for the 2006 world cup and would love to see The Yellow Wall in full voice.

Probably Milan but wouldn't fancy Paris at all, never been but it gives the impression of being one of the shadiest cities in Europe

Milan as I haven’t been there.

Paris and Dortmund both great places though.

Shady in some suburbs.

Incredibly crowded and quite dirty in the tourist traps.
To really enjoy imo and have a more authentic experience you’ve got to get out to some of the more up and coming ‘Arrondissements’ where the locals have moved to that were a bit unfashionable before such as the 12th/17th/11th


To answer the OP definitely Milan. San Siro won’t be hosting football there forever

San Siro as it’s soon to be replaced by the brand new “Cathedral”, might be the last chance.
Italian authorities have listed the old stadium for preservation.

Milan
Dortmund
PSG

You're not a footbal fan if you don't take any opportunity to go to the San Siro.

PSG is like going to city. Insipid.

Milan, without doubt.

As nice a stadium Dortmund have, their city ain’t a patch on the Rossoneri’s.

San Siro is on my bucket list so Milan. Dortmund would be a close second.

Have been to all three spread over the last twenty years, each got their own personality.
Most recent was PSG v Nantes earlier this year, while Messi was still there.
We were sat close to the Nantes fans which made for a good atmosphere.
Made this short video of our match day experience.

Milan. It's long been a dream to see us play against one of the Milan teams at the San Siro. It's up there with playing Barca at the Nou Camp or Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

I was sickened when Olympiakos managed to scrape and cheat their way past us and met Milan in the group stage that year.

PSG no. The ferry that I can walk to goes most of the way there, but Paris is a bit of a hole compared to rouen.

Milan. Best city of the three. Most likely to cause trouble because of their loss of Tonali.

Dortmund is a dead loss of a town, but will have the best atmosphere by far.

It's easy. Just imagine that your town was suddenly annexed to England and then pretty much starved of investment because it won't vote tory, disconnect the motorway, ban you from voting snp even though you want to. BUT you have a great nightlife even if you suddenly notice that all the best looking potential partners are asian.

I've been to the San Siro, so it would have to be Dortmund.
