The Bunnet Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Spotted Sky Sports saying game in October is being played at Arena Petrol in Celje. Which is between Ljubljana and Maribor. Not confirmed anywhere else. Any info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I believe Sky have had that up for months now (sure someone else came on here months ago saying the same). Sky were saying the Slovakia game would be in Bratislava for months (when there was no stadium there fit to hold the match) so take with a large pinch of salt (probably just put that as venue as that was where we played them in 2005) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bunnet Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Cheers....took wee even money gamble with Vilnius back in December regards booking flights / hotel. Easier living in Blackpool, flying from Manchester / Liverpool..But looks like going round the houses to get anywhere near Slovenia. Part of the fun I suppose.

jackhayes17 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 All of Slovenia's qualifiers for this campaign have been held in Ljubilana, and their next home game against Malta is there too. So I'd say 90% chance of the game being there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stožice_Stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others are probably too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others are probably too small Maribor has the reputation for the more hostile/rowdy support, and they have a habit of playing key "must win" games there just to give them that 12th man. If this game was must win for Slovenia to get 2nd in the group, strong chance game would be there, but as this game will most likely mean nothing for either of us, most likely Ljubljana. Could be wrong, but I think the 4th stand has been added at Celje, but its still smaller than Ljubljana and Maribor by 1k or 2k.

tartanmartin Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Look at their home venues over the past 3 or 4 years. All roads point Ljubljana. Especially considering they only have one game to play between now and announcing the venue for our match and that's Malta at home. That match is in Ljubljana and they'll still consider themselves to be in contention afterwards. All this leads to our match taking place there too.

Slovenia is a very small country (think its about the same size as Northern Ireland) with a very good road network that links all the main cities together in no time (I think Maribor is less than 1.5 hours by road) Edited June 12, 2017 by wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If game is elsewhere will their be transport options back after game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there used to be 5 and 10% minimums for Uefa and Fifa matches, but I think that that has been changed to just negotiated totals.
