Has anyone asked when the draw is yet?If not, when is the draw?
We will be entering this for the third time. There have been a couple of changes since we last played in the competiton back in 1983.Firstly they rebranded it with an inappropriate name, many of the teams (ourselves included) are not champions in their domestic league.In fairness, from next season it is being played more in a league format.There will be 36 teams in a single league table instead of traditional group stages. Each team will play eight matches against eight different opponents, with four home ties and four away. The top eight sides will qualify automatically for the knockout phase, while the teams that finish ninth to 24th will play in a two-legged play-off to decide who reaches the knockouts.Key dates.Draw 29th August 2024Matchday 1 1719 September 2024Matchday 2 12 October 2024Matchday 3 2223 October 2024Matchday 4 56 November 2024Matchday 5 2627 November 2024Matchday 6 1011 December 2024Matchday 7 2122 January 2025Matchday 8 29 January 2025https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%E2%80%9325_UEFA_Champions_LeagueLucky Omen..Our present captains surname begins with an M.

I absolutely can't wait for the draw. The new format looks excellent, and keeps it interesting hopefully right up to the end.
Stading on regent street right now waiting for the ladies to finish in Holister. If I was Madrid or Dortmund I would enjoy it rather more.

I think making it to the preliminary knock-out stage should be the minimum target. If we progress any further, then that will be a successful first ECL campaign. I just hope that we're not going into January with nothing but pride to play for.
