UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[Risso]

If we do end up seeded because of Juventus being kicked out, does it make any difference to whether we'll be home or away first? Trying to plan summer travel etc.

I looked at the results earlier and as I was skimming down the page thought I saw 'Arsenal Twat'. A second look and it's actually 'Arsenal Tivat'. Which was disappointing.

I don’t think so. That aspect is still decided by the draw.

I did the exact same thing

Went to my local teams first qualifying round 1st leg tonight, 1~1 draw . Used to be known as Bridgend Town, but following a merger a few years ago now play under their Welsh name of Pen-y-Bont in the JD Welsh Premier. First ever game in Europe tonight, ground not conforming to UEFA standards so played at Bridgend RFC. As UEFA rules state all seating, a capacity of 1410 there which for a tiny South wales town was a great atmosphere.
Take the tie away to Santa Coloma in Andorra next week.

Hoping for some more success in a few more qualifiers to get the Villa down here !!

Good luck. My local-ish side (Connah's Quay Nomads) lost 2-0 to KA, so not looking great but might turn it around.

TNS did alright in the Chumps League (lost 3-1 away to Hacken). Probably have the best chance of getting through along with yourselves.

Mostly looking forward to watching Bala in "Europe" in the Scottish Challenge Cup tho. Think that'll be a bit of a laugh, especially for any unfortunate souls that end up being draw away to Bala!

I watched a bit of the Derry City game last night , they were away to a Scandinavian team (I think) , the football was at an extremely low level.

Algy, believe it or not Chris Venables scored our equaliser last night on his debut….. having been signed from Bala !
It’s going to be tough for Pen-y-Bont in next weeks second leg in Andora with temperature heat wave currently going around southern Europe 😎.
Good luck to your locals too. Another couple of qualifying rounds to get Villa in the draw !?

Hopefully Derry City can progress further, wife from the city so would be a good excuse to visit although I don't she would be happy

Maybe take her with you then

I keep trying to persuade the Mrs that we should move to Derry so she can get an Irish passport like me (apologies to veterans of the Brexit threads). She prefers the idea of Albania (she's never been to either place, but the weather is a bit better there).

I wouldn't have a choice, she wouldn't be happy that I can see the Villa but couldn't go with her on previous occasions

I reckon the Man Utd and Liverpool ones will be the least of your worries, flag-wise!

Best thing about Derry is that you can watch 2 teams play home games in the same stadium, but in different Association's Leagues (Derry City and Institute).

Think Institute's ground was damaged, so they groundshare with Derry.
