UEFA cup info

[mendesstormer]

Anyone able to give me a bit of help with this? I'm planning a trip to a UEFA cup game - can't make the PSV tie, so I'm optimistically assuming we'll get through (I know, I know, I don't want to jinx it either). Does anybody know which weeks the following two rounds (i.e. quarters and semis, or is it last 16 and quarters?) are played? Shit, I've just realised we won't know which tie is at home, but I guess I can take a punt on that. Also, any non-members who've bought UEFA tickets this season - have there been plenty available? I went to the Braga home game last season and there were plenty, but I guess with Spurs being flavour of the month we may see a sudden rise in floating fans who want to get a piece of the action. And no, I'm not one of those - used to stand on the terraces in the 80s, but it's been tricky since I've been living in the West of Ireland.

As far as I kbow from the UEFA site these are the dates:

Thursday 3 April 2008 UEFA Cup Quarter-final first leg
Thursday 10 April 2008 UEFA Cup Quarter-final second leg
Thursday 24 April 2008 UEFA Cup Semi-final first leg
Thursday 1 May 2008 UEFA Cup Semi-final second leg
Thursday 15 May 2008 UEFA Cup Final: Manchester

Draw for the quarters/semis/final will be on March 14.

Hope that helps.

The 1st leg of the quarters are the 3rd April with the 2nd leg the 10th. The 1st leg of the semi is the 24th April and the 2nd leg is the 1st May

PSV is going to be very tough, so don't count your chickens, eh!

Thanks, guys. I won't be counting any chickens, but I may book a sneaky flight for 3rd April - just as an insurance policy against us not getting knocked out

Anybody know about ticket availability for non-members? (I know it's guesswork, but wondering how it's been so far in the UEFA).

I think it depends on the team. So far I think non-members have had a shot, there were certainly plenty for Prague. I would wait until you book a ticket to get a flight, bit too much of a risk otherwise.
