Here come the Belgians

So, it’s matchday four of the Europa League group stage tonight and Birmingham City’s sixth match overall of their European campaign. When the original draw was made and Blues pulled out Nacional I didn’t think we’d get this far – yet BCFC sit pretty at the top of Group H with two home games to come and the question is popping up – just how much further Blues can go.

When I was at university, oh so many moons ago I grew tired of drinking in the same old watering holes in town, and thus my friends and I decided to undertake “mad missions” whereby we’d go to another city (as far away as we could), get legless, and then get home – all without sleep, and all within 24 hours. Maribor, well… it was just like that.

NK Maribor Day Trip

From reading the various messageboards, it seems obvious that the most difficult game for Blues fans to get to is NK Maribor, on the 29th September. With flights to Graz, Vienna and even Zagreb being snapped up, it’s getting increasingly harder to get to the Slovene club and for many, the price is prohibitive.
