Anyone have any more info than what's on here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023%E2%80%9324_UEFA_Europa_Conference_League

Wouldn't mind one of Derry City, Dundalk, St. Pat's, Hearts or Aberdeen as I don't recall us playing an Irish or Scottish team in Europe.

It's a great achievement given where we were and how much ground we made up.

I hope we give it our all like West Ham have done.

Brought to an end 12 years of being out of Europe. The longest drought since that first foray to Antwerp in 1975.

I don’t think you need to worry about that. Unai likes to win in Europe.

This banner which was draped from the UT is a momento from when I got evicted as we disappeared down the drain. It happens to live in the same drawer as my passport. What a journey it's been since then!

Any idea when our first game is likely to be - date wise?

No need to contemplate it for a while, but I wouldn’t mind a UK or Irish team in the qualifiers.

Me too ! Something like Rennes last summer would do. Also I recall it was quite warm in Rotterdam back in the day. So not just for the fans it obviously suits the team as well.

Just a point of caution. We have to get through a 2 legged qualifier at the end of August before we get to the group stage and the real fun. I can't be alone in thinking we would go far in this year's FA Cup and look what happened.
