    I completely agree, I just think it could make for a good debate by the football powers in allowing those less fortunate than the majority to still watch live games.

    Let's be honest, it's not as if you can't actually watch the game anyway if you really want to.

    How many fans do clubs have that for potentially life threatening medical reasons can't attend? I'd suggest the number isn't even 1% of the people that stream illegally.

    I sympathize Kevin. I'm sure there's someone on this thread who could message you with a solution to your problem. There's a few ways to watch the games, home and away, from your UK home.

    I think the price is fixed at whatever exchange rate £140 was at when they set the price. I pay in Euros (though I live in Poland which doesn't have the Euro) but I don't know which other currencies they accept elsewhere. The price hasn't gone up this year though last year it increased by almost exactly the same amount that was refunded after the season ended prematurely. Funny that.

    Same for me. An Exeter supporting mate who lives in Cracow is coming to mine for the weekend so we'll watch and drink together. I'm even planning to make pies and a curry. I'm so looking forward to it. :)

    You'll get us both deleted for this kind of deviation, but actually a giant sausage roll. ;)

    Loved Krakow when I visited. Hoping to go to Gdansk next (and got advised to go in the run up to Christmas) once covid is well and truly under control.

    Thanks @TallinnBantam@TallinnBantam @Storck@Storck for the reply. I get the same offer here in the Netherlands as you have in Spain.

    Having lived down South I can sympathise with @Kevin1954@Kevin1954 and others about wanting to watch more games via ifollow when travel or personal circumstances don’t allow - abs can therefore totally understand the frustration of what is available to international based supporters. Catch 22 as other mention as you’d expect there is a opportunity to engage fans better via ifollow, certainly in these times, whilst not neglecting the live experience. I also believe the vast majority of fans would choose to attend a live game if it’s the option.

    I wonder if they (the FA/PL/TV companies) will consider a customised package in the future to try become more inclusive? I’d be surprised if they are that arrogant to not be doing so already?...........or am I wishful thinking?!

    Like I said, you could fly into LBA quicker than you could get from where kev lives. So why not postcode band it ?

    Love Poland, would have been a few times in this covid period. If you're going to Gdansk go to the WW2 museum and try and get to a Gdansk home game, the atmosphere is nuts. Zakopane is a must visit if you're around that region, beautiful place.

    I’m currently in Paphos, so will be watching on my phone on the hotel balcony. Looking forward to the “what are you drinking” thread that goes along with the game (will be an ice cold Keo).

    Kracow was brilliant, we would like to go back. Did you go to Auschwitz…… ?
    We really enjoyed Europe “old” and new

    Oh to get back to normal.

    Have you been to Warsaw? The Museum of the Warsaw Uprising is well worth a visit. And if you the the Gdansk fans are nuts you wait til you see the Legia 'kibiców' in action.
