Topic: 2012/13 Fixtures Europa & Premiership??

[kkjellquist]

Anyone able to guess when we'll see next season's complete schedule?  Bringing the family to London & Liverpool sometime around late August or early September, and we want to make sure we are in town for a match. 

[anfieldpurch]

Fixtures are usually out in the middle of june for the Premier League. As for Europa League, Uefa will probably post a match day schedule early june.

[oojason]

and don't forget to check Sky and ESPN to see if they move some of our fixtures for tv mate. If we play in Europe on a Thursday we'll not likely be playing on the Saturday after etc.

[Shanklygates]

Aren't our first Europa League games on Aug 2nd and 9th? Bloody early - that's before I go to the Olympics! And we'll only have half a squad, surely.

Yes mate - I imagine the lads who play in the Euro 2012 will be resting up and anyone in the Olympic squads will be playing in that - eek!

Hmmm now that would be a nice little couple of days away!

[Shanklygates]

It would indeed. I wasn't suggesting the final was in Dundee, just noticed on that wiki link they are the nearest in the 3QR so would be handy for me given my earlier comment.

I noticed this as well but isn't there a home countries rule?

[stevienash]

what is 3QR?

[Shanklygates]

Yes but they are a different FA so pretty sure we could get them. We've got Celtic b4.

Have they moved Dundee to England then mate! 

There is a home Country rule, meaning though that we can play Scottish, Welsh or Irish sides....

[Shanklygates]

3QR = 3rd qualifying round. On my phone so was being lazy!

[Mad Max]

Do we only have one qualifying round in the Europa League now, with Chelsea winning the Champions League?

[youll never walk alone it]

straight into group stage mate.

Assumed that we were still in the 2 qualifying stages, and Spurs took the group stage place

[willss]

So far, we have all combinations. Anyone know what round we join?

[wewonit5timesinistanbul]

no change we go in to third qualifiying round, newcastlego  in to playoff round and Spurs go in to group stage

Thanks, that sounds confident enough for me.  I didn't think that Chelsea's win changed anything but I've heard all sorts today.

[wewonit5timesinistanbul]

I think Sly sportsnews said this morning that we went in to group stages then changed their minds after about 30 mins

[Rafas_Barmy_Army]

Big sweaty hairy balls, I'm gonna miss the first game! I'm going down to Cornwall to do a skydive with my cousin.
Arghhh I fancy a trip to Amsterdam for the final too

don't worry in previous years the qualifiers don't count towards later rounds.

[ABJ]

don't worry in previous years the qualifiers don't count towards later rounds.

True but I wouldn't be surprised if that changed next season.
