To add to that info, if the format is the same as last year, our home games will be against teams in Pot 1 and 4, and our away trips will be to the teams from Pot 2 and 5.

When the draw concludes and there are 8 groups of 5 teams, a computer draw will take place to determine the fixture schedule with factors such as stadium clashes and climatic conditions (it is not possible to play in some northern countries in mid-December) taken into account.

 

Though according to that page we cannot play away games in the worst of winter. So it may be Tromso away in November rather than December.

 

Best pack the sunscreen.

are you sure there is suppose to be 8 groups of 5?

are you sure there is suppose to be 8 groups of 5?

 

Yes. There are 8 groups of 5.

 

Top 3 teams from each group go through, along with 8 teams coming in from the champions league to make 32 for a straight knockout.

 

All the info is here:

Even more info..

 

1st Matchday (20th Oct) D vs B, E vs A (C not playing)

2nd Matchday (3rd Nov) B vs E, C vs D (A not playing)

3rd Matchday (24th Nov) A vs B, E vs C ( D not playing)

4th Matchday (30th Nov/1st Dec) C vs A, D vs E (B not playing)

5th Matchday (14th/15th Dec) A vs D, B vs C (E not playing).

 

A,B,C,D,E are the 5 teams in the group corresponding to pots 1 to 5 as in the first post.

 

So we have games at the Reebok on 3rd Nov and 30th Nov (or 1st Dec)

And away trips will be 24th Nov to a team in Pot E, and 14th or 15th Dec to a team from pot B

Hopefully that'll be the case then, gives us sometime to save up for the first away on the 24th november.

It has good information on the draw and format

You sure about that?

 

Checking last years equivalent stage, Boro came out of Pot 3 and played according to Team B in that sequence.

 

I don't think it follows that Pot 1 is A, Pot 2 is B etc etc. The computer draw mentioned in the xs4all link must assign letters to each team and thus the fixture list.

 

However, last year's Boro fixtures seem to confirm that we will play teams from pots 1&4 at home and pots 2&5 away

I'm with jayjayoghani on this, we will play pots 2 and 5 away, but the actual sequence of fixtures is decided AFTER the groups are drawn...

Foo Fighters on December 14th

MACCABI PETACH TIKVA

 

isnt that isreal? 8-[

Is it just me or would a trip to Israel actually be alright? We wouldn't be on the frontlines or anything and it'd certainly be an experience...

wiking stavanger away in november!!! Brrrrrrrrr!!

 

Actually the climate in Stavanger is not that much different to the UK. There will be no snow as it benefits from the Gulf Stream. It is not that far north. It is a nice little city and is the Aberden of Norway due to North Sea Oil.

So if you are all correct, we could be playing two of these away....
