Fancy picking a couple up in Faro? LOL
They've only gone and done it

No need for hypothetical questions, the criteria for stadia is very clear in the rules and Gibraltar atm does not meet the recommendation, but having said that Andorra can be used as a guide as to how some can clearly get away with flaunting the rule

Obviously it will be a nightmare.

However the actual number of people who have been to the last ten away games and have a season ticket  is probably just about in double figures in fact maybe not.  It would rise considerably if it was restricted to the last ten competitive games.  Even still it wouldn't be that high particularly if you exclude the euros.  

This unfortunately seems certain to be one where many genuine fans will miss out.   

aways I think (please correct any mistake)

Denmark Aarhus
Poland Wroclaw
Wales Cardiff
France Paris
Turkey Antalya
Denmark Copenhagen
Wales Cardiff
Georgia Tbilisi
Mexico New Jersey
Austria Vienna

or competitive

Denmark Aarhus
Wales Cardiff
Denmark Copenhagen
Wales Cardiff
Georgia Tbilisi
Austria Vienna
Moldova Chisinau
Serbia Belgrade
include/exclude games in Euro2016????
Bosnia Zenica
Poland Warsaw

again we can all have different points of view and I can see many different systems.  However why ballot 9/10 and just do 10/10 or just ballot 8/10.  Do you include friendlies?
Pretty sure only competitive games count when they set the criteria. You'd also hope that with such a small number of tickets that this game wouldn't be taken into account like Scotland going forward

I think you are right.  Agree it probably won't be taken into account.

Oversubscribed games shouldn’t count 
Friendlies should

Away records meant nothing when it came to Scotland, I'd hold out even less hope for this match.

At last , sorry RB not sure what the problem was with my log on as it would not let me write anything but i could post a a quote .
Confused

Anyway back again . 
 Question to those out there who are going no matter what . Would you be happy to see the game half way up the hill or on top of the car park and would you consider that as you were at the game ? 
Very honest really i would say i was there it it came to it . I had my spot picked out in Andorra if i didn't get a ticket but that's another story .

Yeah would probably consider it as been at the game if go to the effort of finding a spot that I can see the game from. Will worry about that when the time comes

Seville is just over 2hr 13 mins to Gibraltar.
Malaga is just 1hr 46 mins

According to Google maps.

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

It says Seville is 2h15 drive anyway so would say 3 hours would do. We might be able to hire a mini-bus as theres a good few of us doing the same route.

I've had a laugh when I was there, don't get me wrong, it just wouldn't really be for me. 
Malaga, on the other hand, is a lovely city.
