When are the two legs ? I might head up to the Welsh one meself.

Rhyl lost to Portmadog on Saturday, which has saved the Ports from relegation. The Welsh league is over now, otherwise you could've watched Rhyl on S4C yourselves. They are in the League Cup Final on Sunday, but I'm fairly sure it won't be televised in any way though.

As for Skonto Riga - they're not as bad as most people would instantly assume. Granted - they're not brilliant, but they're not muck either. They'd definitely be better than Rhyl.

Does former Bohs player Andre Pereplyotkin still play for Skonto Riga?

The Scottish team will be Hibs (if they don't finish 3rd). Motherwell and Dundee Utd didn't apply for Intertoto spot

At the moment it's Dalymount on the 21st June and Rhyl on the following saturday 28th although some of the rhyl fans on gypsie web said they've switched the ties in the last too years to play away from home in the second leg

Yep, although he's switched allegiance to Latvia and is now a full international, and is known as Andrejs Perepļotkins.

The Rhyl fans will be happy with that - visited their forum a few days ago and they were keeping their fingers crossed for that very draw. At the very least, they'll get a good crowd.

It might be on telly, but if not, I might try and get up there for it myself, so watch out for a plus-size guy in a Swansea City (or Wales) shirt!

I went there for an FAW Premier Cup game couple of years back and it was fine, no problems with the crowd (~1,000 there that night, will probably be capacity 3,000 for European game depending on how many Bohemians take). Stay away from the town's West End though, it has a bit of reputation.

Excellent - if the second leg is in Wales, I might well try to travel down for it!

If ye get a scottish team in the 3rd round (all going well) then it would be a great crowd puller

I think demand for the game in Rhyl is going to exceed the available tickets, having done a bit of reading around their forum. I'm not sure if standing will be allowed either, in which case the capacity for Belle Vue will be cut to 1,800.

I doubt many neutrals will be able to get in at this rate and the game could potentially attract 5,000+ - maybe they will switch it to the Racecourse?

Do Rhyl fans fancy their chances Cymro ? I can see this being City-Gretna Mark 2, with the Rhyla fans thinking they'll win of the back of Longford's dire performance a few years back.

If anyone wants to take a look at Rhyl, 'Y Clwb Pel-Droed' (weekly Welsh Premier programme) is repeated tonight on S4C at 11:25pm.

Sky Channel 134 in the Republic.

If it's Hibs and Bohs make it that far then I heavily fancy Hibs. I know Irish clubs have had good results against Scottish opposition but, as someone who has seen a fair bit of them, I reckon Hibs have too much for Bohs.

Best of luck to Bohs against Rhyl :cool:

Hibs would be too much for Bohs if they were in season, but they won't be.

Hibs would be strong favourites if we get there but you never know. I'd love to knock Scottish opposition out of Europe again. Was talking to a barstooler today who was adamant that any scottish team would be much too good for us :rolleyes:

I'd expect any top 6 SPL team to beat an EL side, outside of that I don't know.
Hibs take the Inter-toto seriously and should be ready fitness-wise. It could be close but I still expect Hibs to prevail in the end.

Anyway, Bohs have to get there first and Hibs are still fighting for 3rd place and direct UEFA Cup entry.

Elfsborg only scraped past Linfield last season.
