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

.

What is the price money Bohs get for their first match ? Read that TNS are getting 330,000 but surely they must have got that wrong have they ?

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 ?

33 Glentoran FC (NIR) 1.324
34 F91 Dudelange (LUX) 1.249
35 JK Trans Narva (EST) 1.124
36 FK Khazar Lankaran (AZE) 1.099
37 Fylkir (ISL) 1.083

The pots aren't made up of clubs in consecutive order like that. Instead matrices are used so the pots look like this:

Pot
A B C D E
01 02 03 04 05
10 09 08 07 06
11 12 13 14 15..

..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.

**The Lep** · 20/06/2010, 10:49 PM

I know that. Its just that they are on the seeded teams side in the link above.

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.
I find wiki alot handier:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2...alifying_round
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.

**Infadel** · 21/06/2010, 8:45 AM

Groupings for the first round of Europa league are on UEFA.com

First Round Group 4:
Seeded- Dundalk, Kalmar FF, KR Reykjavík, FK Tauras
Unseeded- EB/Streymur, Glentoran FC, JK Trans Narva, Llanelli AFC, CS Grevenmacher

**holidaysong** · 21/06/2010, 9:02 AM

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.

**abcd** · 21/06/2010, 9:05 AM

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.
