So shocked how there has been so little comment about an automated draw for virtually all the matches, with UEFA claiming the software will be completely random

It's so open to question how it works, and possible fixing

Can almost guarantee that UEFA's software algorithms will ensure that Madrid and City get the 8 most favourable matches possible  ;) ;)

Yeah I thought similar - UEFA can't be trusted one bit as we know, just open to abuse that system, but I suppose hand drawing would take forever so can sort of understand it

Definitely looks like it will be just the dates announced on the Saturday which will be a bit of a godsend as will only have 4 trips to research rather than 8!

The only downside of that is that by the time they announce those dates, they'll have probably already told the likes of RyanAir/EasyJet so it will be high prices as per

Nothing would surprise me although that part of it is no different to the last couple of seasons though as we knew back then who were were playing away, it was just the dates that were announced on the Saturday so in theory, the same will apply this time.

i watched the chelsea game at my sisters. her 12 year old son is severly autistic and i forgot myself and jumped up screaming at the goal and he went nuts. screaming and shouting. scared the fuck out of me. apologised to my sister as i thought id upset him, turns out he was joining in.

Honestly don’t get why people think UEFA of all people will be favourable to City.

UEFA are, to date, the only organisation to have tried to impose any kind of ban on City, the only reason that ban wasn’t upheld is because of an independent court ruling that it should be overturned.

Pot 4 away unlikely to matter to the vast majority

If the expected teams get through the play offs, there's only 2 teams that will have an allocation of more than 1000

So am I right in thinking we will find out during the draw who we play at during each gameweek and then find out the date/time of the game on the Saturday ? TIA

Atalantas new stand is open from September 15 for their first home - played all away so far. The capacity will then be 25k, so should get 1.25k

Think it will be guaranteed for those with 1 from the last two seasons, then the rest (likely around 1500 tickets) will drop to season ticket holders and members.

Apparently they're giving 700 to away fans.

UEFA have approved their stadium
