Congratulations on doing Irish football proud yet again last night.
Can someone explain what happens next, if ye do progress. Is it the UEFA Cup proper, or is there another qualifying round? If its the UEFA proper, is it a group stage thingy?? If it is, then surely won't that take ye're eye off the main objective...the league title??
UEFA Cup 'proper' but there's a round before the groups.
If they go through, they go into the first round proper (where Shelbourne met Lille last year), where earned co-efficient points are higher, and they can also earn a club co-efficient. Progression through that is the group stage! Which is a guaranteed 4 games I think, 2 home, 2 away, and a nice prize fund!! Then quarter final etc... ;)
I can't congratulate Cork enough on last night, absolutely fantastic. Once again doing us all proud, very well done! :)

One game at a time folks.
When i'm supporting the league i look at co-efficients but as a City fan i look at progression.
Hopefully we can get some Swedish TV money for 2nd leg as European travels are expensive for the club although when travel & prepare properly.
We've beaten Gothenberg & Malmo at home in past so here hoping for hattrick :D
And the probable opponents should ye progress would be???

Just looking at the list, Hibernian would be a good draw as city have already beaten them this year (on pens)!
Hibs wouldn't be seeded though would they?
A close draw would also allow easy travel of fans. Even I'll be going I think if they make it and get a reasonable away draw. Make a wee holiday out of it ya know?! ;) :D
probably not. I'm really looking forward to the second leg. I'll be back just in time, and I've got a mate buying me a ticket.Quote:

The UEFA capacity at the Cross is 5,885.
10% would give them 588
15% would give them 883
A round 500 swedish fans are travelling according to a swedish fan on Citys official site ,but no dought there are many sweds living in Cork.
it is also possible to get the teams who fail to qualify from this stage of the champions league.
Everton
