Passports ready

Thursday night's victory against Atromitos ensured our place in the draw for the Europa League group stage, where we were drawn in Group D to face Bordeaux, Club Brugge and Maritimo. 

Having seen some of the other teams floating in the draw, I suspect the Silver Fox will be fairly happy that we're at least spared long-haul slogs to the eastern end of Europe.

Hopefully the club will continue to price the home tickets cheaply to attract families and give the next generation of fans an opportunity to get into St James' Park.
