** Edit, we are guaranteed to be in POT 1 as the Co Efficient highest ranking in the UEFA Cup

Panathinaikos played at Olympic stadium in Athens tonight rather than their normal home ground.

Wonder if it's the same for Europa

[lukeypool]

When do they announce the game dates after the draw. Isn’t the group stage announced a couple days after?? Knockouts normally same day I think

I believe it is

Yep it will be

Their stadium is an absolute shit hole

[disgraced cake]

The Olympic Satidum was the one we played in for the '07 final wasn't it? Think it was also the one where Milan also won it against Barca in '94.

Is there any other potential stadium changes due to capacity/other issues? The Polish team who might get in it have a tiny ground amongst a couple of others.

We know what the dates are for the Europa League (and Conference League) games

Matchday one: Thursday September 21
Matchday two: Thursday October 5
Matchday three: Thursday October 26
Matchday four: Thursday November 9
Matchday five: Thursday November 30
Matchday six: Thursday December 14​​

As for who we play on what date, if I'm not mistaken it's usually been the same night, but I seem to remember last season and the year before it was the next day we found out? That said, we were in the Champions League and it might be harder to work things out now with another new competition added.

Polish team, also TSC Backo and Union SG need to find alternative grounds. Union SG play at the Anderlecht stadium 21,000 capacity I think

Okay, so taking the post from above, which we know can change after tomorrows fixtures.... the following allocation assumptions can be made

Should we draw TSC Backa Topola Given we got 2000, against Red Star - It won't be 2650 if we play at their ground I wouldn't have thought.

[Samgamble96]

With the Annie road extension being behind schedule do we think we'll be given an away draw for the first game ?

Maybe, but given we don't have anyone to finish the thing yet, I'm not sure we'll even ask.

It's a 50/50 anyway but I doubt the club will have bothered asking. The stand may not even be done by the time the group stage ends anyway.

Would be interesting seeing allocations if we get any of those teams playing at different grounds, because with the exception of Panathinaikos I don't think any of those clubs have particularly big fanbases and obviously don't play in huge grounds in the first place. Panathinaikos had loads in the ground for their qualifier against Braga but they already play in Athens anyway so don't have to travel.

[VVM]

So in a perfect world if we were to draw Marseille and Panathinaikos then we could be looking at a solid chance of getting onto the euro away ladder?

Wouldn't say solid

They will be the biggest allocation 3370 (Max Marseille), 3450 (Max Panathinaikos) certainly in the groups. They used Atletico 2020 as credit towards a Paris final ticket and that was 3328. They will go back to that deffo so there will be very few

Not going to get more than 3000 buying with credits surely though. So maybe like 400-500 available for all members at least? Those with Atletico had the chance to buy Napoli and a lot of them didn't take it, so wouldn't see why it would be any different for Marseille in the Europa or a fairly unknown team in Athens. Only thing that makes it a bit more desirable is we will probably have tickets sold more than 1 week before the game unless the game is matchday 1 again.

[Tiz Lad]

***** Raków will likely play at Stadion Śląski near Katowice



Updated after last nights results

They played at ArcelorMittal Park against Copenhagen - Holds 11,000. So not sure they will play as Staidion Slaski

I couldnt find that out! You're probably right, someone told me they play near Katowice and that was the only decent stadium I could find near by

I'm likely wrong on that one

Role on tonight so we can figure out the pots properly!

[tasmichkata]

All teams and pots confirmed now.

[ABJ]

The dream group for me :

Qarabag
Sheriff Tiraspol
Rakow Częstochowa

[smicer07]

Rubbish teams in there.

[disgraced cake]

Rubbish teams in there.

It's bereft of any real quality in pots 3 and 4. Brighton and WHU are probably two of the better teams.

[ABJ]

Rubbish teams in there.

Not arsed in the slightest, there are some belter trips in there.

[Levitz]

Not arsed in the slightest, there are some belter trips in there.

BK Häcken oooh, thought Aberdeen were nailed on for that one. Göteborg is lovely!

Liverpool
Stade Rennais

do me fine - ynwa

[Crosby Nick]

Yes for our final but if it was built for the 2004 Olympics, the 94 final must have been a different venue.

Nope - I’m talking bollocks as per. I thought they’d built a brand new stadium for the Olympics but evidently not!

[monkeyharris]

is the right answer

[stefbs]

My mate has got 1 credit from last year. If  we get Real Betis, will he be all right for the ticket?

[Tiz Lad]

Be slim pickings for most in the groups.

I'd say only people that are confident of all 3 will be the ones with Maribor if I remember correctly (sure that there will be people in here that will correct me if I'm wrong)

Be quite a few fighting for left overs after first sales

Those that have got Genk and every one since will qualify for a ticket for the vast majority of teams that we could end up getting, with a couple of exceptions.
