Motherwell (Scotland)
Heart of Midlothian (Scotland)
Feyenoord (Netherlands)
Lokeren (Belgium)
F91 Dudelange (Luxembourg)
Horsens (Denmark)
Midtjyllan (Denmark)
Tromso (Norway)
Molde (Norway)
Luzern (Switzerland)
AIK (Sweden)
Maritimo (Portugal)

Closet to Furthest in terms of Country (Obviously I dont know exactly where some of those teams are located in the larger countries like Norway).

Didnt bother putting the farther ones as these are the nearest ones of the unseeded.

Personally wouldn't mind a scottish so we don't have to travel really but if not one of them any of those except Feyenoord would be pretty easy and not super far to travel.

Feyenoord a level above the rest I reckon.

Wouldn't mind a Scandenavian team. Would be good for our supporters up there which is apparently pretty big.

Surely, how far away the ground from a big airport is also an important factor?

How did the team travel for the match against Gomel anyway?

Feyenoord (NED)
Lokeren (BEL)
Dudelange (LUX)

If it's one of these, I'll do my best to go and watch the game.
Lokeren is in my country, their European games are played at the Heysel stadium.

We don't want AIK. Their fans are fucking nuts, absolute bunch of wankers that have a history of jumping completely innocent people.

I'd like us to get them. Could walk to the stadium. And it should be an easy draw.

Marítimo is not in Portugal mainland, it's in Madeira Island (where Cristiano Ronaldo comes from).

A longer trip therefore. Close to the main airport though (the island is not big).

Fun thing is that travel wouldn't cost me anything to go to Feyenoord (Rotterdam), Lokeren (normally Lokeren, European games: Heysel Brussels) and Dudelange (Luxemburg), which is the furthest (3 hour drive).

UEFA have announced the revenue available this season

http://www.uefa.com/uefa/management/finance/news/newsid=1845777.html

UEFA has released details of the revenue to be expected from this season's UEFA Europa League.

Based on sales to date, gross commercial revenue from the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League is estimated at about €225m. Some 75% of the gross revenue from media rights and commercial contracts will go to the clubs involved from the group stage onwards, with the remaining 25% reserved for European football and staying with UEFA to cover organisational and administrative costs. Based on that gross income of €225m, the share for distribution to the clubs will amount to €168.75m.

In addition, the UEFA Executive Committee has approved a further contribution of €40m to the UEFA Europa League club share, with funding provided by the UEFA Champions League clubs and UEFA shares – meaning a total net UEFA Europa League club share of €208.75.

The net amount available to the participating clubs will be split – €125.25m in fixed payments, and €83.5m in variable amounts (market pool) which will be distributed according to the proportional value of each television market represented by the clubs taking part in the UEFA Europa League (group stage onwards).

Each of the 48 clubs that feature in the group stage can expect to receive a group stage fee of €1.3m. There will also be performance bonuses of €200,000 for every win and €100,000 for every draw in the group stage. Moreover, qualification bonuses will be allotted to the teams that progress to the round of 32: the 12 group winners can anticipate earning €400,000 apiece and the runners-up €200,000.

With regard to the knockout phase, sides competing in the round of 32 will collect €200,000 each, clubs in the round of 16 €350,000, the quarter-finalists €450,000 and the semi-finalists €1m. The UEFA Europa League winners will pick up €5m and the runners-up €2.5m.

A team could receive, at best, €9.9m from playing in this season's competition – not counting the market pool share.

Each club figuring in the first and/or second and/or third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League will get €100,000 per round even if they qualify for the UEFA Europa League group stage. In addition, every side eliminated in the UEFA Europa League play-offs will be allocated €100,000.



Definitely in it for the experience and prestige then...

For the play-offs, the third qualifying round winners join the 14 losing sides from the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round and further teams who begin their European campaigns here.

There are 62 teams in total and they will be divided into five groups of ten and one group of 12, with an equal number of clubs seeded and unseeded within each. Sides from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.

For each group, balls containing the seeded sides are placed in one bowl and balls containing unseeded teams in another. A ball is taken from each bowl and placed in a large empty bowl in the middle, where they are shuffled. The first club drawn plays the first leg at home. Taken from UEFA website, next up is group stages. Play Off dates are 23 & 30 August.

We don't want AIK. Their fans are fucking nuts, absolute bunch of wankers that have a history of jumping completely innocent people.

Yep they did the same to Lech Poznan fans last week, just randomly attacking innocent fans.
In revenge, Lech's 'hools' (only about 50) went looking for their top boys in Stockholm but they hid in their bar and then later, they were nowhere to be found when Lech went for them again.

Last night they were afraid to leave the stadium in Poznan and a few of them are in jail in Poznan, for lighting pyros, until they pay their €500 fines.
Very funny last night when the AIK hools accidently set fire to their own banner with pyros  ;D

We can do without playing this type of team.
