[Albion] Europa League - What we know so far

[dwayne]

What happens AFTER the league games? Who gets relegated to Conference, who goes home and is it a league or knockout? Do the UCL clubs join then?

Third place gets conference. We will have to f up pretty badly to not even get that. So a nice long European campaign awaits

These are the stadium capacities - Anfield will hold an impressive 123,000 after the redevelopment is completed!

Umm ... no? Amex holds over 30k, so those numbers are not stadium capacity. Or have I been whooshed?

Not at all. Amex has reduced capacity for European night games.

Some are getting confused by what the numbers represent.
They are not capacities, but instead club coefficients and these decide your pot placement.
They are based upon how a club preforms in the previous 5 years in European competitions.
The reason Brighton have 21.799 as their coefficient is because we take 20% of the national coefficient.

So should we get top two, is it then knockout or another league?
Third and conference. Is that knockout or another league.

Yes pot 4 Toulouse best stadium by a stretch possibly followed by Freiburg that has a very boring functional German design.

If we get any of the other teams in pot 4 gonna be near impossible to get tickets. And I'm presuming Ukraine will be no go only for the very brave (although that would surely put you in the top echelon of supporter if you could make that)

The Serbia pot 4 team has a capacity of 4500 ....that would equate to 225 tickets for us I think. However it is near Belgrade and there are frequent cheap flights from Heathrow

Easy to go down a rabbit hole looking at all the permutations and day dreaming about it.

I'd imagine Zorya will have to play their ;home' matches in Poland?

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.

Failing that, Toulouse away while I am out there for the Rugby World Cup would be good!

Why do you want us Toulouse?

That's what I thought.

You have definitely been whooshed!

I think most got that! I don’t think Liverpool are planning to double capacity between now and September 21

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

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

Wouldn't want to go there either. There's a nuclear power plant that the Russians keep flirting with causing disaster...

I'd like us to Turin

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Whichever teams we draw, we have to wish for teams with large capacity stadiums.... Leverkusen and Atalanta for example are 20k and 30k respectively... ticket allocation to the Albion will not meet demand at all ... so Sporting, Ajax and Roma may offer the best Pot 1 chance for me as a MyAlbion+ member with decent points.

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

Any chance of someone adding Stadium capacities to that graphic?

Ideally would like someone with time on their hands to go one step further ,,, closest airports, number of direct England flights a week, stadium capacity


Pretty please

Sausage and beer prices, a selection of WaG pictures, details of local chair LUZZING opportunities?

It's the very least we should be expecting.
