Who do you want in the Europa league draw ?
« on: August 01, 2010, 06:53:01 PM »
At the outset let me just say I love us being in any European competition so please dont turn this thread into a debate about why bother when its perceived that the club management are not so bothered as you think they should be.

Its the draw for the play off round this friday and if we  get through thats six guaranteed group games up to Christmas.

Link here with all the info about who we could possibly get:

No way am I going to try and work out seedings or european ranking co-efficients, but who would you like us to play?

Personally, I like games within a 200-300 miles of Calais so i can drive there independently and not be tied down to schedules. So Bruges, Paris St Germain, Utrecht, Stuttgart are the sort Im hoping for.

I don't mind, really. I just hope that the home leg of our first fixture is on the 26th August. I've already paid for my ticket and cannot make the 19th.

To be fair most of us live within 200/300 miles of calais.

I'm sure it can be worked out who we could meet as it was kind of straight forward last year. I don't mind as long as they're rubbish and will lose against us.

Borrussia Dortmund is supposed to be a proper football ground, how it should be. Would love to go there.

Bruges would be good too, easy to get to.

Not sure who off the list we can get but would like seeing someone decent like Porto, Villareal or Borussia Dortmund.

The worst team possible please. Save the big guns for later in the tournament.

Err I mean once Ive driven to Dover and got the ferry to Calais, Im within 200/300 miles. We drove to Hamburg that way which is probably just about the limit without getting too knackered.

You cant be drawn against another team from your own association at this stage.

It is best football stadium in the world in my opinion (howver I not been to all!)
We do not want BD in the play off  ...could lose. We want someone from Iceland/Denmark/Sweden etc that we can beat easily.

The New Saints FC (former Total Network Solutions)  look like they will drop into the Europa League from the Champions League, being 3-1 down after the first leg and being based in Shropshire would be incredibly easy to get to.
