[Albion] Europa League - What we know so far

[Machiavelli]

1st = Round of 16 in Europa League.
2nd = Knockout Round Play-Offs in Europa League, against team who finished 3rd in their Champions League group.
3rd = Knockout Round Play-Offs in Conference League, against team who finished 2nd in their Conference League group.
4th = Out of Europe altogether.

Thanks, a question:
Does the loser of the EL2/CL3 fixture go into the Conference League?

Another question.

Any ideas who Seville will meet in the final, if not us?

It's been a slow lunch...

Great work

No. Otherwise there would be 24 teams left in Conference League. The way I look at it is that after group and KO. stages there are 16 teams left in CL (1st and 2nd), 16 in EL (8 first + 8 KO. between 3rd CL and 2nd EL), and 16 in ConfL (8 first + 8 KO between 3rd EL and 2nd ConfL).

Shame we won't meet Dortmund along the way, 6 beers for €14. I wonder if other German clubs do similar deals?

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Fair point - I am still waiting for Towin to qualify.

There's no time Toulouse.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I think demand will be strong but there are going to be so many that can't due to time, cost, family etc.

Leverkusen would be 1500 tickets based on 5% of 30000. I reckon that would sell out in 2 days given our alliance with them.

I did idly look at this the other day, you're correct in the sense that they don't play in Luhansk at the moment but they appear to still be in Ukraine, in a place called Zaporizhzhia, according to Wikipedia

No European games in Ukraine. Will be played elsewhere.

England are going to play Ukraine in Vienna later this year.

Watching West Ham vs Fiorentina. All Fiorentina, (much nicer trip)…..

West Ham idiot fans have chucked empty plastic beer glasses at the corner taker, who sustained a nasty cut. Really disappointing.

Why do we have people who are sooooo stupid?

Commonplace across Europe/South America that kind of shit ... doesn't excuse it at all but it doesn't just happen in England

1-0 West Ham. Spoke too soon

West Ham win boo - crap part of London

 

[Shooting Star]

I really can't project how popular tickets will be with STH considering it's international travel on a school night. What do people think?

Who gives a shit about what part of London they're from!?

Depends on the teams but except the really obviously / easy locations I don’t think we will sell out away games easily

Will also depend on the allocation though.
Some of the away allocations might be tichy.

I imagine they do.

"East! East! EastEnders!"

...probably...

Interesting. So we definitely don't want TSC then, 5% of 4,500 is not very much is it! (225!!). Who even are they?

I am convinced that we will sell out all three away group games..... Of course if some far flung place offers us 10k tickets, then this might be a hard sell,... but most destinations in west ior central Europe will sell very quickly.

I'm not so sure. It's easy for people to say "I'll be there regardless" but when they have a job, are short of cash or hit by the reality of a 12+ hour trip they may start to wane. I'm retired so I'll be going to wherever on the Mon / Tue and returning on the Saturday I guess.
