UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[DeKuip]

I've had a look at West Ham's games last season and their home games were at 8pm. Generally English teams get the home games at 8pm due to the TV audiences so i'd be shocked if we have any early home kick offs. Not a guarantee though.

I might be wrong but I think the kick off times are decided by which group your drawn in, so A-D might be 8pm in week 1 and 5.45 week 2 and E-H the opposite etc. There will be 2 English teams at home each Thursday (Villa or Brighton and Liverpool or West Ham) and so one home & one away at 5.45 and same at 8pm.

That makes sense, thanks DeKuip.

You know that the Champions League teams come down to the Europa league if they finish 3rd
does this happen in the Europa league also do some drop into the conference league competition halfway through ?

[Sexual Ealing]

Yes.

[john e]

Yes.

Oh, I didn’t know that
So we might meet some very much stronger teams later on if we stay in

[Monty]

Yes.

Hope so, that's when I'd be really up for it. A European semifinal against Ajax or Bayer Leverkusen...

Yes, meaning it's possible we could play another Scottish team later in the competition.

Yes, meaning it's possible we could play another Scottish team later in the competition.

Well we could be drawn with Aberdeen today, though I don't think it's possible to drop through two competitions, i.e. from Champs to Europa to Conference in one season, meaning meeting Celtic would be impossible?

The 8 Conference group winners progress to the last 16.

The 8 group runners up have to play a knockout round against the 8 teams that drop down.

Celtic played in all 3 two years ago.

[Exeter 77]

There is a chance Rangers could that this season.

[Drummond]

Oh. well that's shit then.

Thanks for confirming. Got to love a competition whose entrants can change multiple times during the process of playing it.

The draw will be live on the UEFA website.
Currently showing the Europa draw.

I assume they'll mention us winning the European Cup in '82 as part of the draw today, given the host seemed keen to have a fact about every team. Noticed we were included twice in the Newcastle montage during yesterday's CL draw.
