The last stadium for Euro-2012 is open now! It s Lviv-Arena! First match was tonight: Ukraine-Austria 2-1 (we scored at the 92nd minute!!!). Ukraine has AMAZING statistics in Lviv: 7 games = 7 victories!!  Though, the game wasn t SO amazing... Maybe, not enough power & emotions after the match vs Germany in Kyiv. And Austria played well, I should say! P.S. I wish England to play in Kyiv or/and in Lviv! |

Hello, guys! Some fresh info from Kyiv: Dynamo won yesterday at home vs PFC Olexandria (currently 15th in the League & first season in Ukr PL from lower league). It s 4-0. Yarmolenko - 2, Ideye -1, 1 own goal. We are still first in Ukrainian League 1 point ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk. Next game is an "away" (derby) with Obolon Kyiv. (maybe, some of the Stokies who have been to Ukraine remember this word - Obolon - on the beer-glasses or bottles) The team Obolon is named after one of the largest Ukrainian breweries But more important game is after that at the Brit vs Stoke-City!!! My best wishes to Stokies & Stoke-City! I really wish you better game in Premier-League! |

There is 16 teams in the Ukrainian Premier League - there is Kubok Ukraini (Ukrainian Cup, we are out lost 2-3 to Shakhtar) and Superkubok Ukraini (Ukraine Super Cup, we are holders 3-1 vs Shakhtar), this game is played first every season between winners of the Ukrainian league championship and the Ukrainian Cup holders. If it's the same then it goes to second place. So it's nearly always Dynamo-Shakhtar.
As for tickets - Den might be able to tell you. The gent is arranging my ticket for me - top guy!!
About 400 max maybe..

Same set up as us then regarding cups. We have to cups, the League Cup(teams play there youngsters usually or 2nd team) The FA Cup, the big one, the historic one. The one we got to the final last year Winner of the FA Cup plays the winner of the Premier League in the Community Shield. This is usually Man Utd/Chelsea/Arsenal/ManCity etc playing vs each other ;D |

Yeah, younghope is right!
We have 16 teams in Ukrainian PL.
But we have far less teams in general comparing to England!!
There are only 3 prof. leagues in Ukraine:
- Premier League (16 teams);
- First League (18 teams);
- Second League (28 teams divided at 2 groups).
About supporters going to Stoke for an away:
currently about 100 tickets are sold in Kyiv for that game!
But, I m sure, some guys wanna buy tickets in Stoke in a match-day.
+ many Ukrainians living in England would like to support Dynamo.
So... I hope about 500 should be there!

Congratulation, Stokies!! These THREE points (vs Blackburn) are of great importance! Really glad for you, guys! Dynamo also won vs Obolon 1-0. We played about 50% - Obolon is currently the last in Ukrainian PL. Next game - at the Brit!! SO excited! Hope it will be a great game! Let the best win. P.S. My favourite Dynamo player - Olexandr Shovkovskiy (GK & captain) - said couple of words about Stoke-City & called you a strong side with good players that shows typical English football. What can I add? I agree! |

SO-O-O!!! Match-day!!! I am really excited about the game! Though I didn t made it to Stoke, I wanna send my best wishes to all the great guys who supported the Potters in Kyiv! Special "hello" to those who took part in "legendary supporters match"!!  Enjoy being at the Brit! And I am really glad we met you, guys. All the best to Stoke-on-Trent! |

Thanks, mate!! It a pleasure for me to "hear" such words about my club - Dynamo! And - this is true - I do support Stoke in English PL now! Your team has got good attitude in Kyiv because of its suppoters. We found friends in Stoke & we wouldn t like to loose the contact with them, no way! Good example - couple of Stokies have already booked hotel rooms in Kyiv for New Year days!! Did we expect this after the draw?! Haha! Happy days! |

Great!! Though, Dynamo has Euro-matches every season, for us it s ALWAYS something important! It s a real test for us! And - absolutly - it is an opportunity to discover something new! Find new friends, share the beer with guys who have the same passion for their club as you!! Talk about their lives, visit new countries you ve never been before! Support your team there! Isn t it amazing!! Though I m not in Stoke tonight I do want to visit it someday! No doubt! And, maybe, for another Stoke-Dynamo match! |

Den, its funny, but you really have to understand that for us Stokies, it might be the last time we get to play such high profile European games for many years, so every game is a cup final for most true Stokies, those who remember the many years of toil in the 2nd and 2rd divisions, maybe its becasue I have lived in ireland for many years now, but it still seems like a dream to me!

Guys, I do realise it. And I am really glad for you!! I wish you go only forward (never back to lower divisions!). As about Dynamo - you should understand that we have less strong clubs than in England & European Cups are the most important part of the season for us. I am happy I enjoyed watching Dynamo of 90-s! Not everyday your team wins 4-0 vs Barcelona away! Or plays in Champions League semifinal!.. Happy days! Ahh... Want this level back!! I understand that our situations are hard to compare! Again - wish us BOTH qualify! P.S. & I am interested in EVERY game of my club: vs Barcelona or vs 16th team of Ukr PL. P.P.S. Just put 100 UAH (little less than 10 pounds) on Dynamo victory tonight! |

Probably the biggest game in our group so far that was. Pulis got what Pulis wanted though, to go through, it's what he's good at, getting bore draws What a bloody mental after the Kenwyne goal though! I was too nervous to sit down, and I had the feeling of Europa slipping away, came through though! ;D I hope we play again one day, but I hope your players stop throwing themselves onto the floor by then. |
