[Albion] ***Europa League Group Stage Draw - Official Thread***

[patchamalbion]

3 teams in Athens….how do they sort that?

We could share the city with West Ham……..

Ajax have previously given 2600 to away supporters

tight bar stewards

When the draw was made I genuinely had a tear in my eye. To think just over 25 years ago we were in near oblivion to today and watching our name being drawn in the Europa League. Thanks to all who made this happen - not just Dick, Liam, Martin, Tony and Paul and countless others, but all of us fans who protested, collected money, and kept our club going through the dark days. We have a club at the heart of the community that we should all be very proud of.

Today is a day that will live long in the memory.

Who gives a f*** ?

I do. Don't be a dick

So we’ll have played in Marseilles, Amsterdam and Athens before heading to Croydon on December 23.

Can we get a poll going on which is the better stadium?

Looks like we're sitting on each other's laps then.

 

[Gwylan]

Is it worth having a different thread for each away game to help in travel, hotels, bars, strip joints, sorry museums etc as to not having to sift through just one jumbled up thread

I'm hoping we're drawn away to Ajax for the first game. I've already pencilled in a visit to the opera to see Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny on the day before the match

I do. Don't be a dick

Why ?

 

[mile oak]

If we win the group Im convinced we will play in the final

 

[moggy]

I watched on my phone in the supermarket. We drew 3 European teams which is nice.

I’d have been shocked if we’d have drawn an African team

 

[jimhigham]

Bloody tough looting by group. Also already been to all three countries so no “new country thrill”. Realistically not likely to get away tickets anyway so just need try and get down for the home matches.

Blimey! Europe, eh?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

We’re gonna take thousands to Holland

Looking forward to the selection of threads the following day

“STD’s, ever had one?”
“Marijuana, has it got weaker?”
“What’s your favourite water based city”
“The Dutch, what are they like”

I'd let a fellow supporter sit on my face if it meant I could get a ticket

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Looks like we're sitting on each other's laps then.

Points around the 260 mark I would expect

Yes, no way I am getting a ticket. I will however be going to Amsterdam regardless.

 

[Munkfish]

FFS - did you not pay attention? They did 6 minutes on the effects of DST on each group (based on coefficients) in the pre-draw build up.

Didn’t have any volume was sneaking the video in the office.

Same. I'll take the bike on the ferry from Harwich and make it into mini break. Hook of Holland to Amsterdam is a lovely ride.

 

[Blackadder]

Surely, some good numbers?
5% minimum isn’t it and negotiable

Maybe we could say to Ajax, "You give us 10% and we will give you 10%" Otherwise they will only get it about 1,600 for the Amex

 

[Mr Bridger]

I'm hoping we're drawn away to Ajax for the first game. I've already pencilled in a visit to the opera to see Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny on the day before the match

I'm going round to Anne Franks house but i'm sure she's not gonna be in.

Early predictions for number of points needed for each game?
