[Albion] Selfish Europa League hopes?

[Colonel Mustard]

Does anyone have a particular personal hope for the Europa League draw? On one level I'd like a nice easy draw but on another, I'd love the excuse to visit certain places for personal reasons. I worked for a few years in Germany and Switzerland and have friends in both countries. In particular I'd love us to play Freiburg at some point. I was a season ticket holder at Freiburg when I lived near Zurich and would love an excuse to revisit. A beautiful old city on the edge of the Black Forest. Shame the old stadium has been replaced now but still, a great place to spend a few days. (Basel airport not too far, direct flights from LGW). I have a mate in Dusseldorf so Leverkusen would also be good. Anywhere in Switzerland would be great. I think Lugano are still in the competition. Beautiful location with a spectacular lake down in the Italian part of the country. Atalanta near Bergamo in Northern Italy is another ground I went to a few times, and another fantastic location. Pretty much anywhere in Spain would be welcome for a bit of late autumn/winter sunshine. Another part of me would like the excuse to visit some obscure places in Eastern Europe. Anyone else?

[Jimmy Come Lately]

Selfishly: somewhere I can get to by train relatively easily and with a large enough stadium that ticket sales go down to those of us day-tripper away fans who are usually in the second loyalty points tier.

I get the impression that Toulouse, if drawn, will cause all sorts of ticketing shenanigans.

You’d want to get a result there. It’s a long way to go Toulouse.

Or as the French would say, Le Trek.

French police are also awful football wise. Italian police too.

I'd like Spain/Portugal germany and Czech Republic.

Would be nice with one big classic European team and two shite teams.

Roma and the only Glasgow team we could face in the group stage, Rangers.

Celtic/Rangers and the Italian capital.

If it was Rangers, would you buy a 'half and half scarf'?

With no religion involved whatsoever, I've always been a Celtic man meeself.
