Website says Tuesday now. No mention of Wednesday.Club has confirmed that the Sporting game is the one that gets moved to Tuesday or Wednesday if we get them, and pre-registration opens straight after today's draw.
I highlighted to them the difference between their comms and UEFA's.Website says Tuesday now. No mention of Wednesday.
edit… it says Tuesday on the all you need to know page. Tuesday/Wednesday on the pre-registration page.
Where did they say that?Club has confirmed that the Sporting game is the one that gets moved to Tuesday or Wednesday if we get them, and pre-registration opens straight after today's draw.
Thanks. Currently at Heathrow!
Where did they say that?
"Please note that due to the city clash between SL Benfica and Sporting Clube de Portugal, and in order to respect the sporting criteria of the competition (both teams have to play the first leg of their respective round of 16 ties at home), one of the two first-leg matches will be played on Tuesday 5 March."
You're keen! Waiting to find out who we play and you'll buy tickets on the spot??Thanks. Currently at Heathrow!
From the Article
So it is possible that Albion could play Marseille again, in the last 16 round
Work! So I might have asked the captain to tell us who we draw…You're keen! Waiting to find out who we play and you'll buy tickets on the spot??
For me the 8 teams we could face in the draw seem to fall fairly neatly into 4 sets of two. We have a 1 in 4 chance of having a tough match in Italy, Roma or Milan. A 1 in 4 chance of a perhaps not quite as tough match in Portugal, Sporting or Benfica. A 1 in 4 chance of easier on the pitch but somewhere we would rather not go, Qarabag or Marseille. Finally a 1 in 4 chance of probably easiest on the pitch and somewhere i have never been Freiburg or Prague.
All now in the hands of the footballing gods, so are we feeling lucky?
On uefa website it says it’s definitely on the Tuesday 5thAnd on the pre-registration page it says:
"Supporters should note that UEFA have indicated that in the event of both Sporting Lisbon and Benfica progressing to the round of 16, and Albion being drawn against Sporting Lisbon, the away leg would be played on either Tuesday 5 or Wednesday 6 March."
That would be a royal pain in the bum.If we get Sporting on Tuesday 5th, I assume that the Forest game won’t revert back to the Saturday.
