Those going to Fenerbache can scout Istanbul ahead of the final.

Yeah, it'll mean two trips to Istanbul just like we did with Athe.....

Could be a lot worse, I guess Fenerbahce arguably the toughest fixture. Let’s not get all cocky though!

Managerless Fenerbache following Mourinho's sacking yesterday.

With young plucky striker Jhon Duran.
Don't forget Carlos...although he can't get a game.

If Villa Park is forced to close for that one home game, I'm sure the club would ask to be compensated.
Potentially, it could be more troublesome than the L Warsaw fixture.

Forest have nice away trips, rubbing salt into Palace's wounds.

^^^Not if we don't give them any tickets, which I'd imagine will be police advice.

Why would it? We're more than capable or rather WMP are, of handling Stone Island type away followings be it Small Heath, Legia or this lot.

Still loads of potential for pitch invasions/protests, which is why Scotland women were behind closed doors. No fans will be attending that game.

There could potentially be a lot of locals protesting as well being as several murals depict support for Palestine and the local MP is an independent who campaigned on the Gaza conflict.

I'd imagine it'd be as much about them being targetted as them being twats. Although they are twats.

Bit naughty of the UEFA draw hosts to say that Red Bull Salzburg had contested the UEFA Cup final in 1994.

That was Austria Salzburg, whose name and club colours the ever odious Red Bull removed when they took over and rebranded the team in 2005.

Thankfully, a new Austria Salzburg phoenix club was formed almost immediately and they have just gained promotion to the Austrian second division.

Should be plenty of scope in those fixtures to be giving some minutes to some of the younger players which would be good.

I hope Fenerbache is the first one up so we can get a bit of late September heat.
