Albion play Jablonec tomorrow, the first of four away games in 10 days

Kick-off in Czechia is 5.45pm UK time. Then it's Liverpool on Sunday and Manchester City twice, with a ticket exchange open for both City games.

Albion play FK Jablonec in the Conference League tomorrow, Thursday 22 October, at Stadion Strelnice in Czechia. Kick-off is 5.45pm UK time. It is the first of four away games in 10 days.

Albion won their first league phase match 4-0 at home to Kauno Zalgiris last week, with eight changes from the side that beat Sunderland. Georginio scored twice. On Sunday they beat Crystal Palace 5-0 at the Amex for a sixth win in a row, and Diego Gomez scored from the halfway line.

Fans going to Jablonec

Albion have an away allocation of 1,000 in the South Stand. The ground holds 6,100 in all. Gates open 90 minutes before kick-off and only three or four turnstiles are in use, so the club advises getting there early. Bags must be smaller than A4, and there is nowhere to leave luggage.

The club suggests fans meet at Mírové náměstí, by the town hall in the city centre. From there it is about a mile to the stadium, roughly 25 minutes on foot, and some of it is uphill.

Drinking alcohol in public spaces is illegal in Czechia, so use bars and restaurants. Covering your face is illegal on the way to, at and on the way back from a football match. Kiosks inside take card or Czech koruna only, not euros. Expect to be held in the away end for 20 to 30 minutes after the final whistle.

Taxis in Jablonec are scarce, and the club says not to rely on them, particularly after the match.

Then Liverpool and City twice

Albion are at Anfield on Sunday 25 October at 2pm. They then go to the Etihad Stadium twice in four days: the Carabao Cup fourth round on Wednesday 28 October at 7.30pm, and the Premier League game on Saturday 31 October at 3pm.

After feedback from supporters, the club has opened a ticket exchange for both City games. If you have a ticket and can no longer go, you can list it for resale. Resold tickets go back on sale to supporters once each game has sold out, as adult tickets. Resale costs 10% of the ticket price, and the loyalty points go to the new owner.

Resale closes at 9am on Monday 26 October for the cup game and at 9am on Thursday 29 October for the league game. Tickets are sent out once resale closes.
