Salonika could be the anglicised form of Thessaloniki?
Hamburg - German TV money but a strong side
Everton - English TV Money and a team we'd 'know', we'd have a crack off them but having to deal with Everton Irish at the cross
PAOK - A pain in the whole to get to, won't give us TV money, won't be a name the general public will reognise, though not in their season yet anyone bar this shower.
Auxerre - French TV Money, cheap to get to, I think we'd have a shot (no better than Nantes anyway)
Prague - the 'fun' trip but from TV, full house, getting through point of view, difficult

They play in Thessaloniki which is in Northern Greece on the Aegean seas.

After thinking about it, Hamburg or Auxerre would be the best draws for us.
We would have a shot at getting a result, good TV money, easy to get to both. A step up in class again, but we could be confident of doing ourselves proud.
Don't want the hassle of local "Evertonians" disgracing our city,
Greeks have the highest rating, Slavia are a class act.

crackin chance to get thru to group stages
Good chance!

I think they finished either 2nd or 3rd in the Czech Republic last year. They went out of the CL qualifiers mid-week. That's all I know bout them.

I don't know lads. Its going to be tough. I know Sparta Prague have made the CL group stages before but what about Slavia. I must research their Euro record. It's going to be tough going by their coefficient.
Could be a lot worse!

Have Boot Disk, will travel
They 4-1 on agg against Anderlecht in the CL prelim round
AFAIK they are a homeless club in dire financial trouble - who lodged a complaint with uefa cause they lost their seeding in the cl qualifiers to make room for Liverpool.....
Tricky tie i reckon. Skillfull team. Hopefull they'll underestimate us though. Czech airlines fly to prague from cork. Praszky beer are giving away free flights too if you buy a six pack down the offy. Next door offys anyway. Have to do a bloody tiebreaker though.
Home and away losses against a Belgian team. All the draws are tough but football wise this one's the best
I'm gonna take a blow torch to everyone who writes "any info on......." on the desks in the ucc library.
Who's with me
Slavia Prague (Cze) V Cork City
Dinamo Bucharest (Hun) V Everton

Are we away first? On the 15th?

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
The Slavia home leg must be played during daylight hours as the floodlights in the cross arent up to 1st round proper standards
I hate daytime games tbh,theres always a more subdued atmosphere no matter how big a game it is,hands up those who've been to a derry noon kick-off on a sunday
I think its time we bucked the trend with this 1
