Brighton followers are jetting off to Tromso for their next continental fixture.
It looks set to be quite unlike earlier trips – particularly those to Marseille, Athens and Rome.
Here is what to watch out for away from the pitch.
The town and the reception
Visitors to Tromso can anticipate a warmer greeting than the climate itself, and the setting is breathtaking (even more so during the depths of winter).
Nestled amid mountains, fjords and surrounding islands, the coastal town is home to roughly 80,000 residents.
The area boasts respectable evening entertainment, with numerous establishments serving drinks and food.
Brighton are advising supporters to visit Hjemmebane Tromso on matchday, a sports bar situated in the town centre.
Club supporter liaison officers and security staff will be present in the vicinity to assist visitors, alongside officers from Sussex constabulary who are coordinating with their Norwegian counterparts.
Officials in Tromso have requested that Brighton urge those without tickets to stay away and anticipate the customary high standards of conduct from travelling supporters – including abstaining from drinking alcohol in streets or public outdoor areas.
Nonetheless, Brighton supporters have typically represented the club and city admirably and they can obtain helpful travel advice through the guide for visiting supporters.
The local brew
The Mack brewery has been producing beers since 1877 and is a source of local pride.
Tromso appears to have several world’s northernmost claims to fame, with Mack, which stays independent and family-run, being the world’s most northerly brewery.
While the primary production facility has relocated from the town centre, a micro-brewery and a historic pub called Olhallen still operate in central Tromso.
Generally, expect to pay around ten pounds per pint of beer.
Local cuisine
Those wanting to try traditional Tromso fare will encounter whale, reindeer and various fish dishes on restaurant menus.
Prices are again likely to be on the high side, even for those accustomed to Brighton costs.
Visitors may find themselves relying on the 7/11 convenience store in town.
Climate
The weather is expected to echo conditions commonly experienced in England for much of the campaign (though not in recent weeks).
Locals have been voicing frustrations about an unusually wet and cold summer this year.
Some respite from our heatwave will come with temperatures in the low teens dropping to single figures by the conclusion of the game.
Despite Tromso appearing ideal for significant wind chill, locals report this has not been the case recently.
Will darkness fall at night?
Sunset on Thursday arrives at 9.21pm though there is an extended twilight period.
It seems there will be, at most, a brief interval of true darkness during the small hours – which you might miss anyway if your pub funds have dried up by then!
