A must win of course!

Ajax met big problems when the opponent tried to defend in Ajax' half. A lot of matches (such as Groningen 1-0 Ajax, Ajax 1-1 Feyenoord, even the first match of this season De Graafschap - Ajax...) showed this weak side of Ajax.

In the last week's two matches, Frank de Boer chose a different system 3:4:3. However, for me the problem of building-up from the backs solved not yet. I don't think Ajax CAN play 3 backs in the European matches! Face the fact, we are not FC Barcelona (yet).

If we win this home match, we can certainly overwinter in Europa and will have a great chance to be advanced from the group in the CL.

De Boer didn't make clear which system (343 or 433) will be used tonight. He said maybe Ajax will change the system during the game, just push one defender to the midfield.

You've got multiple choices for that.. Vertonghen can move to the defensive midfielder postion. That's also possible with Anita..

Sure. For me to recognize a system is 343 or 433 depends on the team's possession. If you have most ball possession of the game, your system maybe 343. A defender which we call 'libero' or something else will push to the midfield. Otherwise, your system maybe 433. Simple.

Hi, If anybody can get me a ticket for the Ajax end at Old Trafford It would be appreciated

I will post a Manchester Guide on here nearer the time. Even ifi do not get a ticket I will meet all travelling Ajax fans for a beer in my home town. CBS

United normally charge away supporters between £40-£50 for a ticket

I thought that all the away tickets are limited to the club-cards from us. I want to go but I don't know for sure if I can afford it. I'm just a Student..

http://www.ajax.nl/Tickets-Travel/Seizo ... strijd.htm

The website can not be translated to English, but it says that tickets can only be bought by people with club-cards, tickets can later not be exchanged among people. If I'll manage to buy tickets, I would maybe visit you in Lowestoft!

If you can't get tickets for the away-side, why don't you go to the home-side? If you don't want to go there, I might be able to get you some tickes for the home game, but I'm not promising anything.

I can get tickets in the United end no problem but would like to be in the Ajax end.

I will see how things work out, Benkie is staying at my house !!!

Any of you guys coming over for the match ?

Including travel costs and tickets, it would cost me 400 €. Besides, I will probably not be able to get a ticket anyway, so count me out.

Hope I can come over! Can only buy tickets at the earliest point friday morning..

Well I bought my tickets , so I am there for sure!
Ticket costs were 48 Euro
My plane costs 60 Euro
Hotel for 2 nights 80 Euro
So no problemo! Always presenti!

It is not possible to buy a ticket for anyone. Tickets are only sold to cardholders and are personal. So you have to show card and ID at the stadium, and then you get your ticket. This is always the case with Ajax matches.
You can write a mail to Ajax (http://www.ajax.nl/De-Club/Contact-2/St ... -vraag.htm or even better use the twitter account #ajaxsupport, maybe they can help you in some kind of way. I know that there were people from Ukrain with us in the away sector in Kiev. But they were known people who were in longer contact with the club , because I saw them in Moscow again.

Do you happen to know when the pre sale starts for the Man City - Porto match?
It is on wednesday evening , the night before our own game. So we want to visit this match with some of us.


At this moment 1500 tickets are sold for the away match. Those were only sold to awayseasonticketsholders (the fans who travel to more then one CL/EL awaymatch a year or visit more then 2 awaymatches in the Dutch Eredivisie)
Now people who have a regular seasoncard and clubcardholders kan buy there tickets.

South Crew

not sure when the Man Shitty tickets go on sale but are you aware the match kicks off at 1700hrs

Hmmmm, that is quite early indeed.
My plane lands at 15:00hours local time. How long does it take to get to the city/stadium from there?

As far as I know tickets will be available for seasoncard holders on 7 january. So I probably will be able to buy tickets also.

I guess we will book a flight also, my brother lives in Manchester so we probably can stay over there!

By Taxi about 30 mins, there is also a train station at the airport

South Crew, the Train takes anything between 15 & 30 minutes.

From the city centre take a 216 or 231 bus which will drop you outside Shittys ground

Ik zelf woensdag/vrijdag
Je kan ook donderdag/zaterdag doen (ken je niet naar City)

Vanuit het zuiden des lands is Charleroi prima te bereiken. Uurtje vanuit Maastricht denk ik.
