UEFA Europa League Round of 32 Draw [merged]

[zuricity]

Perfect for us Swiss located Fans, Salzburg(5hrs) on the train and Turin (2.45 hrs). Poznan is expensive to fly. Looks like we might be in the car.

Seems like we are going to be doing this a lot from now on. I really must get a VW bus sorted out for these trips now !

Renato, well definitely have a Swiss City fan presence in Turin . Look forward to getting down there mate.

Edit: Flights to Berlin and train to Poznan ? Air Berlin is cheap.

How do you get from this explanation of the draw to us having only three pot 1 options?

Chuffed about the Juve games, we needed a draw like that the wet the juices.

Only a month to wait, surely the home game will sell out.

I got lost around the 56 second mark, total fuclin nonsense!

But cheers for posting it nonetheless.

I need to go to Turin. Can I get tickets?

KK - Can you organise another competition sharpish?

[KinkyKinkladze]

Alright, how do I get tickets for Juve away? I'm not a member with the club or any of that stuff. But that game is around my birthday, so I fancy having a bit of that for a prezzy.

[one man army]

what a shame i won't be watching the man city - lech poznan live. (ironically, i'm on holiday in poland)
their away support is just amazing.

[john@staustell]

Dont want to pee on anyone's chips, but I still reckon they'll need fiver offers etc to sell out Juve, just like Hamburg.

Done the Berlin>Poznan train before. Took about 3.5 hrs, from memory. Direct trains several times a day, too.

[simon12]

I will wait for Spike to organise the tours like last time( Schalke & Hamburg) good value for money. I`ll post details when he organises it. You`ll have to be quick he filled 3 planes last time.

I agree with this. It would be wise for the club to do so too, IMO.
If they could create even a fraction of the atmosphere they did with Hamburg, it would kick start the campaign very nicely.

Shaun i believe if Rangers beat Bursaspor they will be one of the seeded teams in the knockout draw.

Your welcome mate.

[Green & Blue]

Cant meet another english side until second knockout fixture.

As far as i know the group winners and top 4 on point difference from the champions league qualifiers will be the seeded teams for the draw in the knockout stage

So we could do with a win in Turin....

I think Salzburg will get a point against Poznan so it dont matter what we do in the city of the backstabbers.

I think a 0-0 would do us fine.
