Do Andorra play all thier games in Barcelona?

[lopez]

The last two home games against England were played at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium which was Espanyol's home until last year. If we play them on a Saturday, I can't see any option but to have the game at this stadium.

They played us in the Ministad in 2001, which is another option.

I think this will be the game we draw the biggest number of supporters to.

They only play in Barcelona when a big crowd is expected.

Am I being presumptuous in thinking there will be a big crowd expected at this match? If the Andorran FA have any smarts about them, they will agree to host the Ireland at the Barcelona Olympic Stadium on Saturday the 4th of June 2011. 20,000+ travelling support guaranteed.

Bout 5 or 6 thousand if memory serves. The mini Nou holds around 13,000 I think and wasn't half full. Bit hazy though!

In fairness we had Holland and Portugal so there were a lot more attractive trips then this time, I'd expect more to travel this campaign.

I think that was about right. It was mid week aswell. Spain were going to play France in Barcelona and switched the game to Valencia. I've only stood outside the Lluis Companys looking in...twice, so I'm hoping it will be played there.

judging by number of views and commens on this forum- andorra away seems to be one most people are interested in travelling to.
id personally much prefer to stay in barcelona than bratislava or moscow

I'd say it's more likely to be played in Espanyol's new ground than the Olympic Stadium (size wise )
