could pats play the next game at richmond park if they wanted to ? or do UEFA have different safety regulations for this round ?

not much of a problem for Dublin clubs but would Derry, Cork, Sligo, Dundalk etc have to move their games to Dublin if they ever got this far ?

If the closest available stadium that fit all the criteria was in Dublin, then yes!

That photo of the small pats contingent in front of the grandstand is great! So happy for them and also Fabio the 'slightly-tarnished-by-joining-scumdalk' legend!

Fantastic result for Pats & creditable one for Derry too - pity they aren't in the draw today

Roll on the draw now, let's see who we'll be shouting at in the RDS - have to sort out a re-mortgage now, just to pay for the half-time burger&chips!

Has anyone got details of European player appearances?

I'm wondering who has played the most Euro games? (including sub appearances)

I think Ollie Cahill was mentioned before as having the most from Cork & Shels appearances.
Also, Stuart Byrne would have a lot, from Longford, Shels, Drogs & now Pats.

Is there anywhere handy to get this info, or do I have to work through each LOI website?

Group 6
FC Zenit St. Petersburg (RUS)
FC Steaua Bucureşti (ROU)
AC Sparta Praha (CZE)
Aston Villa FC (ENG)
Odense BK (DEN)

Unseaded:
Genoa CFC (ITA)
SK Rapid Wien (AUT)
CD Nacional (POR)
Saint Patrick's Athletic FC (IRL)
NK Maribor (SVN)

Fingers crossed for Odense I think

defnitely not. Very bad memories from there (although the town is great...)

Villa for money. We'd be massive inderdogs (again) so we can't really ask for an easy draw

My preference (in order)

1 Villa
2 Sparta
3 Odense
4 Steaua
5 Zenith

**baddebt** · 07/08/2009, 8:13 AM

Aston Villa would be a crowd puller for Pat's.

**baddebt** · 07/08/2009, 8:22 AM

A few light vodka's in BOMBAY BAR , and then off to Darling's to Drop Da Bomb

Bad memories - good point, though it might be time to have another go at them.

Whoever we get, we are in with the big boys (and Villa) now!

(Really really REALLY hope we dont get Villa - do not want to listen to the barstoolers sticking up for the foreign team)

Steaua above Zenit?

**Duggie** · 07/08/2009, 8:33 AM

heard sadlier saying they would have to move from richmond so i suspect its rds again for this round ?

Absolutely. Russia = red tape and exorbitant costs

**ifk101** · 07/08/2009, 8:41 AM

Villa would be a massive financial boost for the club. Also would suspect that Villa won't field their strongest 11 if drawn against Pats - possible upset?
