Cremona Trip to see the goat!

[Frankel1981]

Would really like to make trip to see Cremonese be helpful if we could share info and maybe arrange to go as a collective.

 

From initial research fly to Milan then an hour train to Cremona it’s in northern Italy Lombardy region.

 

Unsure on ticket availability looks fairly small ground Stadio Giovanni Zini holds 16000.

[Qwerty]

I was thinking the same.  Perfect place for a trip.  I’ve been to a few European matches before and the difficulty is they seem to move the fixtures quite a lot, and in fact I don’t think they even schedule them till a few weeks in advance.  But I plan to keep an eye on the dates.

Be annoying if you go to a game and he doesn’t play as well!

Cremona looks like another dull Italian town. Annoyingly they have both the Milan away fixtures early on. Juventus away is in Jan, Parma end of march and Napoli in April.

You could tie it in with the winter Olympics. Even if he doesn't play, that would soften the blow.

I’m not sure we’re in a position to call Italian towns dull!

After I went Barca v Osasuna when the club doctor died and the game was postponed, I’m nervy about these trips!! will he be selected, get injured in training the day before…it’s hard to resist though…Vardy fuelled by 6 cans of red bull celebrating in front of Napoli ultras is a must see.

Have they got a Wetherspoons next to a KFC opposite a bookies?? HAVE THEY??? No!!!

Not sure I could be bothered travelling for 6 hours to see some Italian village. He should have done us a favour and moved to Ibiza FC, Independiente Medellin, Las Vegas lights FC or a team in the Azores

[MrSpaM]

I'll be surprised if he's starting games for them unless Franco Vazquez gets injured

Famous for its violins. Too sleep deprived to think of a good pun right now

Not everywhere is as beautiful and exciting as Leicester sadly

There are lots of crap Italian towns, not saying Cremona is or not - but even dumps in Britain often have a bit more going on

Definitely looks like it needs more suicidal deliveroo riders and public transport stabbings to liven the place up a bit

[adam1]

Given the cheap cost of flights to milan (milan bergamo is in bergamo, I drove past it this summer, its a bit of a way from Milan) rail transport in Italy being good and affordable, it would make a good trip.

 

You've got Milan, Verona, Bologna, Modena (ferrari),  all within 2 hours from Cremona by train.

 

The only issue with Cremona appears to be the need to change trains.

Yep - but I'm guessing there won't be that many games he'll be starting and knowing them far enough in advance, might be tricky...

 

Good luck everyone!
