Toulouse the only other team confirmed so far.

Fiorentina or West Ham
Braga or Sporting
Freiburg or Union Berlin

And 3 of those will be joining us in the groups.
Liverpool also highly likely as well of course.

Thanks but those capacities look wrong ?

It’s the original capacity of Withdean if you include the fans in the trees. I guess wiki hasn’t been updated for a while.

 

[Shooting Star]

I think Freiburg's new ground has a similar capacity to ours.

 

[Djmiles]

I guess if we have a coefficient, then looking at what’s there so far, guessing we may be pot 2?

Those are the European coefficient points - we have a largeish number because our U21s played in Europe this season and have what UEFA call an elite level academy

 

[Gabbiano]

How do we have a coefficient if we’ve never been in a UEFA competition before? Thought it was based on previous performance?

Doh. Thanks.

think it's actually the number of times over that each seat in the ground could have been sold, for each of the upcoming games

That or how much the ticket touts will be charging us for each ticket

I though they were kick off times.

Were loose

I had earmarked one of the Istanbul teams. But turkey strangely don't seem to have any teams in europa

 

[Icy Gull]

Please please please let us be in a group with Toulouse

 

[Giraffe]

So based on reading about the coefficient am I right in thinking that ours increases if West Ham and Man City both win?

 

[Sepulveda]

Depending on how many points they arbitrarily decide to deduct from our total at the end of this season, we might end up facing each other! And even without all that, it might happen all the same if we're as shit in our CL group as we've been this season

There is the chance of only one Turkish club in the Europa League.
That is because the winner of the Super Lig, likely Galatasaray, will qualify for the Champions League first qualifying round.
If Galatasaray lose in the 2nd, 3rd or Play-Off Qualifying Round of the CL they will move down into the EL and may be an opponent of ours.
This also applies to other clubs in CL qualifying such as Rangers and Dinamo Zagreb to name a few.
[May I also include that if Galatasaray finished 3rd in a CL group, that is another option to join the Europa League]

Their coefficient seems to have dropped which has reduced the number of clubs they have in Europe. Whoever qualifies for the Champions League from Turkey could still end up in the Europa League depending on what happens in qualifying.

That's a real shame as would have loved to play one of the Istanbul teams. Incredible atmosphere
