Serbia or Austria away games. Which one?

Hey all.


Just looking ahead from the Euros.
Just wondering if a few could give me any advice from experience.

I've been looking at heading over to Serbia for the opener in September, but now looking at maybe Vienna instead. Serbia is working out a little cheaper as it stands but there's not much of a differece for it to be the main factor for choosing it.

Just wondering what guys know or advise from experience and which one you think I should go with. As in which one for hospitality and atmosphere etc.

Cheers guys.

Serbia for all the reasons below

Never been
Better time of the year
Cheaper when there
Probably better chance of 3 points

No contest. It has to be Belgrade.

I've been to both cities. Both are fantastic places to visit.

If I was you I would go for Serbia for the following reasons:

1. The Ottoman part of the city is beautiful with fantastic views to the north, west and east from the fortress. It's a pretty cool place sitting in a bar/cafe up there with a 1 euro beer watching the Sava and Danube rivers merge.

2. The weather in September will be very warm.

3. Serbian women (the same goes for the majority of ethnic Balkan women).

4. The atmosphere in the stadium will be hostile adding to the buzz.

5. As noted, beer is dirt cheap as is accommodation and grub.

6. The Serbs are sound skins and no doubt you'll end flooring quite a few shots of Rakija with them.

f**k ya all . I have been convincing myself that I'm better off going to Vienna as it suits me better for work etc and might have to do a family holiday in Sept . Might change the plans again ....

Serbs are dangerous at matches.

Anyone got any straight forward/cheap ways to go - given the size of the stadium - would tickets be easy to come by?

Has to be Belgrade for me hope to do Vienna too but Belgrade was a priority this campaign

If you're only going out for a drinking session Serbia would make more sense a lot cheaper etc if you're intending on doing a bit of sight seeing and soaking up the local culture head for Austria. Which are you for doing? He has been in both 38 times so it's irrelevant which ones Topper does

The name Topper always cracks me up
