Wiki

a Portuguese sports club, from the city of Braga, that was founded in 1921. Portuguese club Sporting Braga have been known as Arsenal do Minho -'Minho's Arsenal'- ever since former coach Jose Szabo returned from a match at Highbury in the 1930s and convinced his old team to ditch green in favour of red and white sleeves. (Sporting even renamed their youth team Arsenal do Braga).

That is their nickname. They are 5th at the moment in the league. Our new signing Rocha played for them.
More interesting they have Man Utd's Rossi on loan at the moment.
I think they are definitely a better draw than Parma for us.
Good goalkeeper too in Paulo Santos.
Last 8 looking good!!:D

You've a season ticket, yeah?

IMO every ST holder who applies will get a ticket. Flight out Thursday morning/back Saturday afternoon? You know you want to...;)

p.s. voucher 30 is the relevant voucher, and needs to be in by Thursday.

eoin, I've heard that Spurs have been told they can have as many tickets as they want by Braga.

They only had 8k at their home tie with Parma.

That's from a number of good sources.
