Linfield finished second so they're in there. Crusaders finished 3rd, but they're in the Cup final next week v Cliftonville. Losers go into 1st qualifying round, winners into second.

Lads,

This might be useful as you are in the same boat as ourselves.

This is the "tagged" google map of who/where we might play. I have entered the opponents where possible, where not I have selected the capital of the country.

I will update as/when new opponents are confirmed.

We have working on a travel matrix and some of the away costs are going to be phenomenally expensive, never mind a nightmare to get to(ie booking twenty seats ten days before a game!)

Thanks Maribor. Can you confirm that this wikipedia article is up to date and accurate?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Eu...009%E2%80%9310

If the first quali round is zoned (north-west, south, east) I'm assuming Derry and Sligo would be drawn against unseeded teams limited to NI, Wales, Faeroes, Luxembourg, Estonia or possibly a fair play qualifier?

international car parks...

....beg to differ(dange)!

the ONLY good thing about luxembourg is the motorway infrastructure which lets you get out of it...... quickly!

the EU byoorokats have all their meetings there - and it smells like it....

now TIRANA..... there's a trip - though i still think khazakistan is the truly deranged supporters draw of choice!

Getting a Kazakh visa at 10 days notice would be entertaining.

I'm sure most have their tickets already? I seen in the paper the first allocation is gone already and they are expecting them to be completely gone soon enough.
I haven't got mine yet and am a season ticket holder:o. Just awfully busy atm to get around to it, worried i won't get one now:o

Phone the Showgrounds and explain you are a ST holder. I'm sure they will keep one aside for you.

Yeah they definitely will. Anyone who really wants a ticket for this will get one.

The tickets are selling really well. I'd fully expect it to sell out.

Any word on how many have been aold to date ? only said ticket 170 on mine so i'd say it will be a couple of weeks before it actually sells out though.
11/06/2009, 7:06 PM

There's a few more than 170 gone anyway SF4E.

Not too bad consdiering there about 2 weeks on sale, but would've expected much more. The club or someone associated with it said at the start of the season the town is still buzzing about the prospect of European football, but obviously after a 13 year exile from European football, there not selling as fast as we all expected, i'd say everyone here has bought one at this stage anyways, is there any posters or advertisements in town to promote this ? I remember last year there was a huge poster near O Connell street promoting the legends match, surely this can be done again for something our team is involved in ?.

I don't think anybody expected them too sell out quick. The bulk will be sold the week before the game i'd say.

I didnt say I expected them to sell out this quick, I mean I would've expected the to be selling better with the regular fans and those who attend say every few games and who will turn out for the big games. We were in the 2000+ attendance numbers this season so no reason it shouldnt sell out anyways.

I assume they are gona have to keep back a minimum of 5% of the ticket allocation for the away fans. So in fact the home side ticket total is actually 2565.

I'm holding out as I don't know if I can attend until the date of the home leg is announced.

Looking at various flights with the draw only 8 days away, thought Malta was going to be one of the cheapest but it is €280-320 with ryanair when checking for flights for the first/second leg.

Big hope on Wales/San Marino/Andorra, ranging from €70 and €200

Link below is Eurosport's TV coverage for the day of the draw, not listed?

im sure ya would, but for the fans who wouldnt be able to afford it , which id say is the majority , a game closer to home would be ideal.

Yeah it is very costly to fly there tbh, don't think i could afford it myself.

let's hope we get a draw close to home as the club does not need any extra expense. things are tough enough as it is.

Got sent this this morning some potentially brutal trips in the first round but assuming as seeded team we can get through their is some nice potential ties in the second round including Red Star Belgrade and Randers.
