UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[Ads]

As Hearts finished higher and similar got through, so the game is a Wednesday, wherein Champions League football is on and other competitions cannot clash. Fabregas had fouled Barry and therefore was off the pitch when Young took the penalty.

Away is Weds 23rd, 5.45pm kick off.
Home is Thurs 31st at 8pm.

Oh how come it's been moved to  Wednesday? And why the hell 5.45 pm. How many Hibs fans won't be able to go now owing to not being able to knock off early?

UEFA rules. Firstly two clubs cannot play within 50 miles of each other at the same time, and there are CL games on and other games are not allowed to be played at the same time hence the early KO.

[Martyn Smith]

And for anyone wondering why it's 5.45pm, UEFA don't allow Europa Conference League games to take place at the same time as UEFA Champions League games.

That is ridiculous and I can't see the point...oh wait, let me guess...*television*...fuck the attending support. Television...

The early kick-off thing - doesn't that effect Europa League Thursday games too? I'm sure I've randomly seen Arsenal play in a former Soviet State on a Thursday tea-time in recent times.

Of course it is, supporter consideration being bottom of the pile is hardly a new thing. We were all set for the away game until Hearts won last night.

With only 1078 tickets available there is no chance that there will be any left at the end of day today. So no chance of a ticket for me however I can help someone with hotel and transport needs

What a pathetic allocation that is, Hibs had that many in Switzerland last night.
My guess is Villa took the minimum to avoid having to having to  extra staff up there to dish the tickets out on Weds.
Sod the fans as usual and any plans we had made to get there.

[Olneythelonely]

Isn’t it more likely that Hibs want to fill the ground with their fans?

They only give small allocations in league games as well. Think this is pretty standard

[Hookeysmith]

Is the away leg on TV anywhere?

5% minimum to away fans is the competition rule is it not ? Assume they'll sell theirs out easily.

Is my question as well!

[Des Little]

I hope we give them the same down here, but I doubt it.

[dorsetvillian]

Crap allocation. They give the whole end for league matches.
