Sorry if it's been covered elsewhere but what are the likely away playoff venues for each country and how easily accessible are they. Please feel free to edit. 

Denmark - Copenhagen is the likely spot?

Croatia - Zagreb and Split

Switzerland - Basel. Any other contenders?

Italy - Rome/ Milan/ Bari/ Turin - anywhere else?

I'll want to get the potential logistics sorted early doors on Tuesday afternoon.

Italy the only real one I'd be wary of booking anything before the venue is announced, Would more than likely be the first city you mentioned for the other 3

That's an extra reason why most of us would prefer Denmark - unlike the others, at least we'd know straight away that Copenhagen is nailed on as the host city. Thumbs Up
The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!!

So when you look into the potential venues

Italy- Milan and Palermo
San Siro-80000
Renzo Barbera- 36000

Croatia- Zagreb or Spilt

Maksimir- 35000

Poljud- 34000

Denmark- Copenhagen
Parken - 38000

Switzerland, Basel

St. Jakob Park- 37000

Stade de Genève- 30000




Taken from playoffs thread.

Italy have played 3 of their qualifiers in Turin, including a game against Spain, so my guess would be there.

Denmark played their 5 home qualifiers in Copenhagen (38k)

Croatia played 4 in Zagreb (35k) and 1 in Rijeka (8k). They've played 2 recent-ish qualifiers in Split (34k) against Georgia (EURO 2012 qualifier) and Italy (EURO 2016 qualifier)

Italy played two of theirs in Turin (41 + 29k), Palermo (36k), Udine (25k) and Reggio Emilia (23k)

Switzerland also played in a few stadiums; Basel (38k), St Gallen (19k), Lucerne (16k) and Geneva (30k).

I wouldn't necessarily rule out any location for our away game - Countries know that any little advantage can help them so having us in an awkward location (Like the Turkey playoff in Bursa) might be very appealing when looking to schedule these games.

Really?? Have found a few student bars in Copenhagen with very cheap drink and a lad I met in Wales who was there not so long ago told me there were plenty of spots cheaper than Dublin also. Although I've never been in either!
