At least its in English.

all the potential opponents have pretty small grounds

if we go Dutch/Belgium/Austrian I can see demand being high

How do you think tickets will be allocated - a free for all among season ticket holders or based on last year's away games?

ST holders with 5+ aways last season, then 3+ aways, then Members, then General, I'm guessing.

I appreciate that; rather I wanted to see the pool from which the 15 would be chosen. Does our coefficient improve if we win our third round match; and conversely does the coefficient of those knocked out of the CL QR worsen?

No, every team's coefficient is fixed for the duration of the competition to the figure calculated at the end of last season, so ours will remain at 16.078 for the duration of this season, but will be higher next season unless every English team gets buggered in both competitions this season. How much higher largely depends on our own performance. If we get knocked out in 3Q, we only get 1 coefficient point of our own, 1.5 for playoff round elimination, and then we get 2 points per group stage win and 1 point for a draw (with a guaranteed minimum of 2 points). Extra points then awarded for quarter-final, semi-final and final participation. Doesn't look like you get anything for being in the first two knockout rounds.

That's the Champions League draw (at noon "definitely not CET"). Ours is therefore at 1pm "definitely not CET"). So 1pm BST.

It's now, isn't it? Not 1pm.

I think it's the same link for the Europa League draw, but if you are desperate to have the words `europa league' in the url then it's: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2016/draws/index.html

Yeah, its on now, uefa website.

It's now, isn't it? Not 1pm.

think so.

CL first starting now (12 UK time), Europa league afterwards I guess.

Aberdeen lined up for a trip to Kazakhstan...

Aberdeen probably heading to Kazakhstan

What number are we? Sorry its probably been asked 100 times but I'm not reading this whole thing!

EDIT - dont worry seen below the vid

It's now, isn't it? Not 1pm.

Yes, they've just segued into it, ffs.

Just about to do our draw

Ideally, it would go on sale first to those who went to Bucharest. As I couldn't get to any away games last season.

Not sure If I'm pleased or disappointed to have dodged Jerusalem.

I've not got a bloody clue how this works, such an odd system

Vitesse, then, A Bridge too far

We're going to get Vitesse or Sturm Graz!

Southampton FC (ENG) vs Vitesse Arnhem (NED)

Southampton home first leg against Vitesse - Netherlands!

Home to Vitesse first then.

Vitesse it is

VITESSE!

Vitesse , home first

Vitesse then

VITESSE!!!!

Vitesse...

Home to vitesse

Ooooo Vitesse Arnhem....

Relatively tricky.

Decent draw, but hardest team to play!

Is that a good draw?

We're out then...

Anyone know who we got?

ties in nicely with your friendlies in holland then..

nice draw and not far to go either

Tough game, eay journey. Would have rather have gone to Albania for the crack. We'll take f****g loads over there.

No-way our fixture will change around?

****ing terrible draw

Chelsea reserves

hmmm definite banana slip that one- toughest possible opponent for sure...

and RK managed them 15 years ago

Anyone know who we got?

Arnhem

At least it makes it quite a big game now, rather than a bit of a "nothing" friendly type atmosphere.

FFS.

Hardest draw possible, plus at home first so I miss it as on holiday

What a load of w*nk.

Oh Mrs

When is the away leg

If we do beat them it will certainly get our co-efficient up.

We'll be concentrating on the league then....

So on the basis of first leg results it will in all probability be one of:

 

7 Vitesse (NED)

8 SK Sturm Graz (AUT)

9 R. Charleroi SC (BEL)

10 FK Vojvodina (SRB)

11 Odds BK (NOR)

12 FK Mladost Podgorica (MNE)

 

Bound to be Vitesse on the basis RK has managed them. Mladost Podgorica would probably be the easiest tie (stadium capacity is only 2000).

Bloody knew it. Still, Arnhem fans will probably be ****ed off too.

Good job we're going to get some practice in vs Dutch opponents soon then!

what are we worried about.

we should beat these.

we are a team with fans who think that liverpool and spurs are not a step up,

we plunder that league for many of its best players and we talk up champions league football for us

we surely will not go out first hurdle AGAIN
