I know it's a long way for them to have gone, however...

Will the Daily Mirror comment negatively on the 640 Chelsea fans who presumably went to Maribor last night on club organised trips in relation to the 500+ Evertonians who went all the way to Krasnodar by their own means ?

From todays' Guardian...
José Mourinho’s post-match demeanour suggested as much. The chants bellowed by the 640 away fans just before the interval ‚ “José, give us a song” and “Sing up Mourinho” harked back to the manager’s criticisms of the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge during the derby against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday and, even if the chorus was tongue in cheek, the point had been made.

I'm guessing no

Mainly because when we bought Lukaku, the lead story the Mirror ran with was how he was a disruptive influence at Chelsea who needed to move on.

Pretty poor showing that TBH. London to Ljubljana is about 2 hours by Easyjet, it's a lovely country as well. I'd be there like a shot if Everton drew Maribor.

We shouldn't compare other teams' away support in Europe with our own -- it's so unfair. Use a lesser benchmark like the RS.

The RS send substitutes now, it's all the rage apparently.......

Slovenia is a beautiful country, it probably has an undeserved negative rep because it's technically part of the Balkans, but it's more like a crossroads of Italy and Austria with some Balkan influence. I'd rather go there than some place like Marseille or Naples. And you don't need a visa.

Not even comparable to Krasnodar.

Spurs support last night looked sparse to say the least also.

To be fair if we were in Europe season after season then we might actually be similar.

We take loads everywhere and have done for decades.

Good point really. If we were used to playing the likes of Barça, Inter, PSG and Bayern every year, we wouldn't be taking many for a group game against Dynamo Gashnost.

It would be really nice to find out

not sure you can get a lower benchmark than murderers
