We can get one of
AC Milan
Hertha Berlin
Spartak Moscow
Partizan Belgrade
Besiktas
Think we'll lose to all 5 (although I thought Elfsberg would beat us handily) so I'd like Milan for the jolly up ;)
never....ah no just me irish club hat on there. come on the pats :DQuote:

Spartak Moscow would be the most poetic really; for Pats to beat the team that Drogs were convinced they could topple had those chances against Kiev gone the right way;)
Well done to all at Pats , I do hope you get the draw you want and even win it would be better still .
Whats the story with gate reciepts in Europe?
would Pats only get revenue from their home leg?
Think so (with no real basis for that). All 5 teams we face come from decent leagues with probability of a bidding war for TV rights, so thats where the money is madeQuote:

I'd love it if ye got Milan and beat them. With Senderos at the back leaking goals and all. it'd shut up our Athlone friends anyway. ;)
Heartha Berlin would be a big money game too, germans fork out bigtime for TV rights.
Maybe ye might share the money with the rest of us :D :D
Definitely want AC Milan
Milan would be a massive draw, you would get peole all over the country looking for tickets to the home leg.
Where would the home leg be though?
Ticket stubs for both legs might proof valuable there ;)Quote:

Hertha vs. St. Pat's.
Hertha Berlin against Pats!

Its not milan anyway...
Its Hertha Berlin
berlin v st pats.
he said they came through the intertoto the twit.
can they do a bohs on it? id actually fancy there chances at home!
Well, ye got Hertha Berlin.
Best combination of a big name, big payday & some chance of getting a result
hertha berlin....kinda disappointed it wasnt milan now :D
Was at Hertha Berlin vs. Eintracht Frankfurt in February.. They were trashed 3-0 and were muck.. They play at the Olympic Stadium - the one that hosted the WC Final in 2006, it's a great venue.
could do - at least the headache of both grounds not being available has been seen offQuote:

Great draw. German tv money is very lucrative. Still a chance (albeit a small one) of makingthe group stages.
The RDS or wherever should sellout but then it not a big club like Portsmouth or Motherwell. The sad thing is that if Hibs had gone all the way beaten Elfsborg, pats etc and played Hertha Berlin in Dublin they'd get far more tv coverage and press coverage and probably a bigger crowd.
Good draw... especially logistically! how many pats fans are checking flights as we speak!!!!

They cant switch to home first because the RDS is unavailable by all accounts
Presume home leg will be in RDS?
If they switch to a home tie - then thanks to the RDS and Croker not being available - they will have nowhere to actually play the game
St. Pat's should start selling tickets as soon as possible and hopefully have a lot sold in case of a 3-0/4-0 defeat in the away leg..
How many would you say are looking for Hertha airport?Quote:
