Europa Cup Draw - Rovers will play Vllaznia(Albania) winners play Rapid Vienna

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?

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?

Lisburn Distillery go into QR1. Cliftonville don't qualify.

**DaveyCakes** · 10/05/2009, 5:04 PM

Yep, my mistake. A couple more potential opponents..Dinamo Tirana (Albania) and Differdange (Lux)

....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!

DIMITRI

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

**Rovers fan** · 13/05/2009, 1:19 AM

Get one in advance,just in case

**The Midget Gem** · 11/06/2009, 9:10 AM

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

. Just awfully busy atm to get around to it, worried i won't get one now

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.

**avvenalaf** · 11/06/2009, 1:09 PM

Ah, for God's sake lads, they'll be on sale the evening of the match.

**redobit** · 11/06/2009, 2:46 PM

Might? Might? Do you doubt me, Grasshopper?.

**Rovers1** · 11/06/2009, 6:24 PM

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

**sligofan4ever** · 11/06/2009, 6:49 PM

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.
