As far as i know there is prize money for appearing in the round anyway. I think. about half of what the winner of the tie gets.

You got about €70,000 for each round you played in the old UEFA Cup. Not sure what'll happen next year

DaveyCakes, I think you'll have to lower your sights a bit

Big news..

FC Almaty have merged with FC Megasport Almaty, moved to Astana, and are now called Lokomotiv Astana.

Rovers will be seeded in the first round draw, so can be drawn against teams from:

Estonia, Albania, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Wales, Northern Ireland, Faroes, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Andorra, Malta, and San Marino.

We can't draw Sweden, Israel, Cyprus, Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovenia, Belarus, Bosnia, or Hungary

The seeding of teams from Georgia, Moldova, Iceland, Macedonia, Azerbaijan, and the 3 Fair Play entrants is yet to be decided.

Kazakhstan is lovely in July....this is going to be an expensive trip if it's not wales/ni!

**DaveyCakes** · 14/04/2009, 9:57 PM

The New Saints (ex Total Network Solutions) will be one of the 2 Welsh clubs in the First qualifying round.

I think we should take any team from those countries. Montenegro could be iffy.

Any links for this? Up until last week the FAI hadnt been informed about the new europa league lay out (and it wasn't announced anywhere either)

**DaveyCakes** · 14/04/2009, 10:13 PM

http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/...eedel2009.html

Usually pretty authoritative..

**Dodge** · 14/04/2009, 10:17 PM

yeah, but not on this as it hasn't been announced (the FAI fans forum mentioned this site as being wring a couple of weeks ago)

If I find out anything I'll let you know (and tbh Bert's site will probably know before we do anyway)

My understanding and this could be totally wrong that we would then be split into 3 regional sections. Most likely we would have teams from the North, Wales, Luxembourg, Faroes and i thought maybe Iceland?

That was the case in the old UEFA Cup but it seems likely (although nothing official) that this won't be the case with the Europa League

Jesus this could be a disaster, i think your right we could any of these according to the Bert guy.

Kazakhstan! Is that the one from Borat?

Imagine if we got drawn there! That would be some laugh

Personnally I'd love a trip to:
1.Matla(was there before at an Ireland match great place!)
2.Faroes
3.Wales
4.Andorra
5.San Marino

I'd chose these because i'd rekon we'd get through.
Wouldn't give us much chance against; Estonia, Albania etc. Wouldn't have a hope against a Montenegro side.

Give me one of the above and it would be great!
