Do Andorra play all thier games in Barcelona?
Fair Play died Nov 18th 2009, Stade Francais.
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.
This is the cooooooooooooolest footy forum I've ever seen!
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.Originally Posted by mypost
any idea how many travelled there in 2001?
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 )

I see Russia are playing in the Estadi Communal in Andorra according to the UEFA site. I was there in the summer and don't know how it's capable of hosting a qualifier to be honest. One stand which holds maybe 1000 - five or six rows only - and that's it. Worth keeping an eye on though.
This is our penultimate game, a game hopefully we win to qualify. If that turns out to be the scenario, I can see a geansai load of Irish wanting to go there.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Delaney said they were going to ask the Andorrans to play in Barcelona, though guess he'll leave the choice of ground to them....
does that statement still hold?!

And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Any word yet on whether this game will be in Barcelona? Going to book a holiday there around it if it is. I'm assuming getting hold of tickets won't be a problem?
Again it's a wait and see as the game is just under a year away so no rush I would say .
Not the greatest of sources, but the wiki page for our group has us down for Barcelona, with every other Andorra home game playing in Andorra
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Eu...s_and_fixtures
UEFA site has no venue yet albeit most games on those dates are like that.
I'm not convinced we'd be allowed play in Barcelona considering all other games are in Andorra. It would give us an unfair advantage.
