Longford Town are unseeded. Bohs are seeded but you can't meet a team from your own country at such an early stage in the competition. Theres a couple there you could have a fair chance of beating. Charlton would only be there if England got a fair play place which is a small possibility.

I see they might have to master these guys again. Ah well, they've doen it before.

**Martinho II** · 13/05/2004, 10:07 PM

to sum it up lads, in the first qualifying round the only teams that the town can be drawn against would be the seeded teams except the bohs! is that observation right?

**Martinho II** · 13/05/2004, 10:10 PM

is the draw for the uefa cup first round on june 25th does anyone know?

Yes, except the day before the draw UEFA will sub-divide the teams into smaller groups. This is theoritically to cut down on travelling expenses. By rights you shouldnt get an eastern european team. But for some reason it never works out like that. Most of the teams at this stage are from the east anyway. Looking at the list you would fancy Longford against some of those teams. And if Bohs could get their act together you would fancy Bohs against about 70% of the potential teams they could meet. Heres hoping

**eoinh** · 14/05/2004, 9:57 AM

Plus two Fair Play teams. If england got a place that would be Charlton

**Xlex** · 14/05/2004, 10:30 AM

With the SPL being a credible League to be compared to it would be interesting to draw Dunfirmline.

**max power** · 14/05/2004, 10:39 AM

what is the story with millwall, are they seeded ??

They would be seeded. In all fairness i hope bohs and longford stay well clear off them. Bohs and millwall in dalymount would be a nightmare. The best draw would be santa coloma and then dunfermiline, litex lovech or dinamo zagreb

dunfermiline are ****e

longford are better than litex lovech and were unlucky to lose to them.

pats destroyed a top four croation team two years ago and dinamo zagreb have dropped in recent years.

heres hoping the breakthrough will happen this year. 3 rounds thats all, group stage guaranteed 6 games and at least one top team ex newcastle.
