swissly Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) @LU1901 - What is the expected crowd for this game? Last year the fans in Norway did not turn out in force due to their assumption that they would just easily beat us. We are hoping for more atmosphere from you guys! Against Genk we had under 10'000. I don't expect more than 10'000 locals to be in the stadium. With your 700, maybe 10'700. So, there is no need at all to worry about the tickets. No travelling fan from Scotland will miss the game.

William Tell Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) I think the number of seats in the away end is about 850 to 900, which would match into the UEFA rule that 5% of the stadium capacity must be given to the away fans normally. So don't worry about tickets, there will be plenty. Generally there won't be a big crowd, I think a maximum of about 8000 as the Europa League in Switzerland still has a pretty bad reputation with occasional fans and gloryhunters. It's considered as the "losers cup" by them, but believe me for most of the season ticket holders the EL is a huge highlight. Then the game takes place in the second week of Luzern's big school summer break. Since at least every second family (my estimation ) is on holidays for the first two weeks of the summer break, there won't be as many families as usual. BUT I don't really mind. Since we've got the big plastic bowl as our new stadium, the best ambiance was at the Genk game two years ago with only about 7000 fans. Second best in my eyes was at the deciding game against Thun when we qualified for this year's Europa League. So expect a small crowd in which every one can sing like 2 persons. :-D I have to admit, I'm really getting excited and nervous already. So badly looking forward to the games.

MySpazz Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 What is the capacity of C6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LU1901 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 What is the capacity of C6? About 800. The stadiums capacity for european games is reduced by 1000, because it has to be all seated. So 16000 instead of 17000 and 5% of that is 800. i think that will be enough. and if not, even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustCantBeatThat.com Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Does it still look like a wee cage? No, i guess you've seen pics? It was upgraded to glass walls after complaints from away fans. There is still a cage like fence at the front though. http://www.luzernerzeitung.ch/sport/fussball/fcl/fc_luzern/Swissporarena-Bessere-Sicht-fuer-Gaestefans;art98,163064 Kyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been approved to be allowed in Scotland. It won't happen though. Celtic and another club have applied for permission to do so and were declined Edited July 10, 2014 by PerthSeany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noose76 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Celtic haven't been "declined", although it has been delayed on a number of occassions and they still await approval from the H&S Executive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any wheelchair spaces in C6 ? Thanks. I am not sure to be honest. From here Rollstuhlfahrer erhalten gratis Eintritt in Block A1/A6. Eine Begleitperson zahlt Kategorie Stehplatz. Es ist eine Begleitperson pro Rollstuhlfahrer erlaubt. Wheelchair users get free entry in Block A1/A6. An accompanying person pays the cost of a standing ticket (normally 28chf, but the standing area will be converted to seats and the cost for this game is 23chf) One accompanying person per wheelchair user is allowed. I did a stadium tour when the ground opened. I recall there being large wheelchair space over near the family corner with a great view.

Rail seats are a bloody nonsense. It's becoming a bit of a popular opinion that they are the future for teams in Scotland. Why not just have the traditional style of terrace? Humans are perfectly adept at standing to view an event. This is what we have at FCL: We can stand there, on the concrete or metal steps and we can also consume beer in vast quantities. It's all perfectly safe and civilised. lethamsaintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCantBeatThat.com Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Worth noting that your match ticket for the FCL vs St J game will include public transport 3hrs before and after the match. lethamsaintee, bigstu, Saintee 14 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
