Topic: Europa League 2023/2024

[Tiz Lad]

Yep I know it's not 100% confirmed yet.

Been looking at some of the projected pots for Europa League

Certainly not going to be many on full Europa League credits given the grounds

[PaulKS]

Best start planning for Astana away now... 😂

In all seriousness, not sure about anybody else but I'm really not bothered we've not made the UCL, one season out won't do any harm

Fully expect us to go far into this, would love us to win it

Final is in Dublin for anybody wondering...

If that list of proposed teams happens these are the allocations

Saw this on twitter which gives an idea of some of the teams likely to be in it

[disgraced cake]

Ludogorets would be interesting again at that number. Some small allocations though as expected.

Where would games be played against Ukrainian teams? Away of course.

Are they still playing in Sofia like last time? That was a bloody cold night!

Dnipro, play in Kosice in Poland - that holds 6000
Not sure where Zorya are playing

[PJJ]

With those allocations they are going to have to go very far back. Might need Spartak or Maribor. Maybe even need Kazan or Sion

Would many of these get down to 1 or 0 credits from this season?

Slim.. maybe Freiburg and Betis?

I think if we had dropped into the Europa with Klopp moved on, it would have been more likely. Can’t see any game going to 0 credits

Not even Astana? Or are we just going to get most people credit hunting for those kind of aways.

No idea to be honest but we have fans on the away ladder wanting to go to them all or groups that’ll pass them on amongst each other

No, on their own - 10k capacity.

They played in Poland, Slovakia and Sweden this season.  Belarusian played theirs behind closed doors.

But too early to say whatever - just 12 teams qualify direct for the GS. The other 20 - 10 will be winners from the playoffs and the other 10 eliminated from the CL, so these pots are nonsense at the moment.

There's some good aways next season it seems.

This is spot on. An absolute ton of football still to be played including numerous qualifying rounds so I really wouldn't take much notice of those projected groups at all as the only teams that have definitely qualified so far are Toulouse and Sporting.

Will only know 12/32 teams once all of the european leagues have finished but not the other 20 teams until all of the qualifying rounds have finished, 10 winners from the EL qualifiers and 10 losers from the CL qualifiers.

This is a good website to keep track of qualification and seeding etc. Usually updated daily.

[deanloco9]

Buzzing for some new trips but also slightly worried looking at some of those potential allocations. I didn't go to Napoli 19/20 or buy the credit as I needed the money + holidays for Qatar. I had Moscow 17/18 which covered me off for Genk so I wasn't bothered at the time. I fear that decision might finally come back to bite me despite having Kazan, Sion, Moscow, Genk etc. Hopefully not but it will be my fault I guess for not doing the done thing and playing the system 

Club will doing ticket collection for some of these perhaps

Final is in Dublin for anybody wondering...

The Aviva? Strange ground for a final as it hasn’t got two equal ends. Have there been any others there? Rugby isn’t the same as there isn’t the same segregation.

[disgraced cake]

Liverpool, Brighton, Real Betis, Villarreal, Toulouse, Freiburg, Atalanta and Sporting. All have qualified for the groups from the major leagues, so I guess we'll have to wait another week or so to find out the last sides to qualify outright in their leagues and then quite a few spots will go down to qualifiers.

Winner of the Fiorentina/West Ham final takes a spot in pot 1, and Eintracht Frankfurt can qualify in the same pot I believe if they win the German cup. If Leipzig beat them then that spot goes to Bayer Leverkusen.

It held the Porto/Braga final in 2011 so not the first time no.

Maybe Croker could've been an option, if it had been all seated, although they could close off the standing areas to allow Uefa standards - but, anyway the GAA probably wouldn't have allowed it even then.......so, Aviva it is. Been a couple of times to watch the Reds in pre-season - against Ath. Bilbao & Celtic. The Reds were allocated the little end and Celtic the big end.....despite that, the stadium was 80% red, so not sure the little end is such a disadvantage. They'll just adjust the allocation to give more on the sides.

FYI: RyanAir already have flights up from Liverpool for those dates if anyones wanting to take a punt..

Quite a few of us booked already so prices gone up a bit, took a gamble at £90 return last week going out 1pm match day back 9am the following morning

[30fiver]

Group stage dates for 2023/24:

September 21 
October 5 
October 26 
November 9 
November 30 
December 14

[30fiver]

Group Stage Draw: 1st September 2023

[PaulKS]

One consolation of the EL is that you know for definite the match dates, with them all being Thursdays. Less stress at least

[stefbs]

£85 return flights from Manchester to Dublin for the final if anyone wants to take a gamble

Will they not just use the CL away credits?

[CornerTakenQuickly]

I think they mean that there won't be many who will get to go to every European away this season because the allocations are so small. They should use credits from last season and before (bar 2021/22).

They will do and always do, but the allocations in lots of cases will be around 1000, so only a few will qualify

[ScubaSteve]

Honestly surprised how anyone can afford to go the away games unless you live at home with your parents or your old/wealth off and paid off your mortgage.

I reckon more people might pass on tickets than you think this season.

I can see people going to less for sure, but i think people will skip the home games first before aways

I'm hoping to go to more this year than last, did 60/63 in 21/22 season but only did about 45 last season

Finish uni in august, no kids or partner to spend on so more money for footie, I reckon doing all games is about 10-12k a year depending how well we do in europe

[pl_kop_1969]

Aer Lingus flights, including flexible that can be cancelled for a refund, now on sale up to 23 May. From Liverpool or Manchester, about £240-250 return. Think there's a £12 fee per flight if you cancel.

May as well go RyanAir - extra risk of about £60 but if we get there save £170 ish in total

Ryanair flights from Liverpool, unless you're making a long trip of it, are nowhere near £70 now. For 21-23 May, it's just under £200 before you add a cabin bag. Manchester's cheaper but for decent flight times, still around £125 plus cabin bag.

If you're planning a longer trip or you'd go whether we got there or not, Ryanair could be a better option.

They've shot up quick including manchester, tho you can do a day trip for 65 quid from manchester still.. just not the best flight times

[30fiver]

Ryanair have changed my flight out from liverpool pushing it back 20 mins to 2pm match day

They've changed my flight back pushing it back 3+ hours

No email or anything, bell ends, if we get there gonna need to use a hotel now, have one booked for 180 euro the last few months in a nice hotel but was hoping to cancel and just get an early flight back next morning

Have they not emailed for you to accept or reject the change? I've had emails for that from Ryanair a few times but don't know how many hours the flight has to change before they offer that. At least you've got a hotel booked, prices have gone stupid already.

Nah, fuck all

Ahh well, still be back in time for the parade

[gazzam1963]

I’ve got a hotel booked 21st to 23rd free cancellation, might do lpool to Belfast and then coach it £75 return lpool to Belfast atm

Assuming you mean Belfast Int then easyjet also do Liverpool - Belfast City which although less frequent is handier.
