A bit of a rewind on that one as Llanelli have offloaded a good few of their main lads in favour of youth to save a few quid. Didnt know that when i posted last one :).Quote:

Yes, wildly wrong.
Are they the 6 teams that Bohs could draw?
Is Rovers and Fingal on the seeded side of the Europa draw going by that link ?
The pots aren't made up of clubs in consecutive order like that. Instead matrices are used so the pots look like this:Quote:

..and so on. These pots aren't fixed though as they are then changed about a bit to make sure no two clubs from the same country can play each other.
No neither of them are seeded.Quote:

Also, dont forget that TNS play in Oswestry in England if you draw them. Its a bit awkward to get to if you arnt going by coach from here. Also i think they play in green and white hoops :)
I was at the TNS - Fram game in the Europa League at the start of the season just gone. Nearest rail station is 2 miles away in Gobowen, but is some 65 miles from Birmingham. Largest nearby town is Shrewsbury
The only other problem we might have - as these games have to be all-seater - only one side of the ground will be open to spectators
Nope the link on uefa.com doesnt takae into account winners from the previous round who would be seeded.Quote:

so it shows we´re not seeded on the right and the seeded (possible opponents) on the left...
I think the capacity is only 3000 but i dont know if thats with the extra seats i think they are putting in. Oswestry is a big enough place.Quote:

Great pot to be honest from a travelling (expense) point of view. 40% chance of it being a NI or Welsh club. Luxembourg wouldn't be a disaster either. Not sure about Estonia. I think Ryanair may fly there so that wouldn't be that expensive. The Faroe Islands is the one you want to avoid obviously.
In terms of progression Dundalk would have to be happy enough with that pot. The Estonians are probably the ones to avoid, Glentoran's attitude to Europe may change if they draw Dundalk, i.e. players mightn't head off on holiday.
Bohemians in the CL draw can get:
HJK Helsinki (FIN), FH Hafnarfjördur (ISL), HB Tórshavn (FRO), The New Saints FC (WAL), Linfield FC (NIR) or AS Jeunesse Esch (LUX).

Thats not bad. Obviously anyone but HJK is what Bohs would be looking for.Quote:

Good draw for Bohs nightmare for Linfield who got Rosenberg
Would love it if we got Llanelli now after Bohs getting TNS.
That's with standing - the seated capacity for the Fram game was around 1,000Quote:

I thought the ground's capacity had to be 3,000 hence the whole Dundalk thing?Quote:

This is the minimum category required by UEFA for Europa League QF1 and QF2, and the 3000 seats rule has been the requirement since 2006 to now, unless the national association is granted an exemption by UEFA (perhaps the case in Malta)
Dundalk's upgrade work was to meet this 3000 seat / 2006 regulation, and even though this has now changed downward it is irrelevant as 1500 capacity would not meet the demand nor make the work economically viable.
The downside of the changes is that QF3 and beyond now requires a Category 3 stadium (QF3 previously was Category 2 stadium) so most clubs have to move ground one round earlier (great problem to have). Aviva, RDS, Tallaght,Thomond and Croke Park are the only ones and only the first two are feasible for any club this season.
