Merkland has 43 seats left. Main Stand has 336 South Home Section has 957 available. Some normal away Section has 621 but tickets that have not been put up for sale yet. Maybe 500? RDS Front has 293 RDS Rear has 159 but tickets not on sale yet (first dibs to 100% hospitality capacity). Small number likely 100-200. RDS Upper has 561 but lots of tickets not on sale yet. It could be as much as 1500? So about 3000 to sell for blagging weve sold out and about 5000 to sell for actually selling out. Link to comment

It could be as much as 1500? So we've sold about 14000 then if it's an 18000 operational capacity? Still 3 full days to go. If it's not a sell out it will be pretty damned close. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Certainly the South Stand home as a benchmark looks much more full with 3 days to go than it did last time so hopefully thats a good barometer. Link to comment

They've played all over Europe and done alright. Doubt this will be an advantage for us. That's the stadium (tofig bahramov) where they play all their games so they must be used to it, unless there's been a sudden drop in the caliber of their groundsmen. (They have been based there since the early 90s, when a war with armenia forced them to relocate from their hometown.) But good point in that they have been visiting other euro grounds as an away team. Link to comment

The pitch looked in good nick in highlights of last season's Europa League games, and I think they play their domestic games elsewhere. No idea how a pitch could get that bad though. Link to comment

G31DON Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 The referees have been told to let the game flow more this season. The annoying dying Swan, after a tiny touch, fouls seem to have stopped being constantly given. Link to comment

Azersun Arena built in 2015 only has a capacity of 5,800. Bizarrely. their domestic games only attract crowds of between 500 and 1,500, except for big games v Neftci, which they also move to Republican Stadium. They are definition of big game hunters. 2 euro games I was at 2 seasons ago @maryhilldon v APOEL had 31,000 & v Sevilla had 20,000. Although not as enthusiastic for a match v AFC, still was a 10,000 crowd so also needed to move if they were to capitalise financially . Link to comment

Betty Swallicks Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Read on twitter that they were flying here via London. That'll add a couple of hours and will be a cunt of a journey for them (9hrs travelling). Presume they are flying in this evening? Link to comment
