Europa League 19/20 - Everything You Need To Know

[bobally]

Going with google it says entering from Serbia there is no border control as Serbia don’t recognise Kosovo as a country.
Just reading articles seems a nightmare right enough as if you enter through Albania, Montenegro or Macedonia you might get pulled up if you ever visit Serbia again but they won’t always stamp your passport. Stress levels are going to be through the roof the next couple of days.

Fly from Slovenia

 

[Kimarcus]

Progres would be easier but short turnaround.

The Icelandic and Finnish teams are mid season would rather avoid.

Yeah but I don't want us to play Progres again want something new.

 

[RoboProd]

I remember Greg answering a lot of queries on this last year, he’s on annual now so going to be a day of confusion tomorrow!

 

[sregnar]

Hoping for Iceland. No waiting for a tie to be played, direct from Glasgow. Give us a bit of luck.

 

[LuxembourgTrueBlue]

Ryanair is now flying three times a week (Mon, Wed, Fri) from Edinburgh to Luxembourg. This is by far the quickest and normally the cheapest option.

 

[grascots]

Gibraltar sunshine for me please.

That would be a brilliant draw and best of all the options. Sunny destination, English speaking, sterling currency, cheap flights and lots of routes, and I am confident we would hammer them.
Alas, I don't think they will get through the pre qualifier.

What date/week are these games potentially?

 

[rangeral]

What date/week are these games potentially?

11th and 18th July

As long as there is no fixture problems

 

[RFCRyan]

Faroe Islands won’t be cheap can fly from Paris to there for about £260 return that’s not including the flight from the UK to Paris.

 

[Corriebear]

Is the draw for the second round also made tomorrow? If so do they group each time again prior to the draw?

Wednesday for 2nd round

 

[rangeral]

No Wednesday 1pm for that but they may release the groups later tomorrow if not Wednesday morning - last year they only became known at draw time not in advance

 

[wtownsley]

I'm pretty sure UEFA Have until 5 to confirm any changes to dates or times. Would wait until then before booking, Having looked into it i will probably go to Reykjavik or the winner of the Luxembourg game. Everywhere else is a nightmare to get to and the fact that there will be probably no day trip will kill it

 

[FortressVillage]

Dublin to Turku and Iceland both very feasible for me.

What airline is that mate?

 

[Callum3657]

Not the best pot, the price of bevy in Finland, Iceland and the Faroes dosnt make me very happy. Latvia would have been much more preferable

 

[FortressVillage]

What airline is that mate?

It's showing as Finnair/Nordic Regional airlines, 1 stop in Helsinki.

Iceland is direct using Icelandair

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

Anyone worked out time differences/when kick offs would be?

 

[rangeral]

Anyone worked out time differences/when kick offs would be?

Faroes and Iceland 1 hour behind us
Wales no difference of course
Kosovo, Gibraltar, Finland, Luxembourg 1 hour ahead of us

Will be evening kick-offs

Ye of little faith

 

[Stanley Yelnats]

Is there a ferry to the Faroe Islands?

 

[davmcc]

Is there a ferry to the Faroe Islands?

From Norway and Denmark.

 

[Brave13VVV]

Can’t wait to read peoples travel itineraries to and from far fetched places, nothing beats a European adventure with the Teds

 

[Recoba]

[DeeGer10]

D’oh. The Rhecord are saying otherwise, quality journalism as ever.

Really are embarrassing. Between that and the sun claiming for about a month we were into round 2 and skipped the first round. To think some clown gets paid for this too.

 

[Skoosh1872]

As the seed should we expect the away leg first? For selfish reasons i’m hoping not due to holiday dates!

This gets asked about 20 times a season. It doesn’t matter if you’re seeded or not. It’s random who’s at home first.

If folk stuck to reading FF and informative threads like this one instead of making their eyes bleed with the gash in Scottish newspapers then the world would be a better place.

The fact it's been answered on this thread multiple times, to the depth that someone posted a step by step guide to how the draw is made and it still gets asked is mind-blowing.

 

[Rathcoole_bluenose]

If its Iceland make sure and take a few quid with you. I remember going to Riga to watch Northern Ireland and being delighted at 65p pints. Then flew directly to Iceland and near shit at the cost of everything lol. And that was 12 years ago.

Calm yourself down to a panic - i’ve Not read 8 pages of a thread. Clearly I deserve to be taken out and shot.

Yesterday I was feeling quite excited about the prospect of a trip to Lithunia/Estonia/Latvia etc

Now I'm thinking about waiting to see who we could face in round 2.

Surely have round 2 groups up soon?

UEFA did well having Aberdeen in with Shamrock and Cliftonville but us not.

Be interesting to see if we end up in a balkan pile again for QR2 grouping

QR2 groups will only happen after the QR1 draw so it will at least later today for them if not tomorrow morning

Kosovo is a 4 hour drive from Thessaloniki.

Crossing 2 borders could be a nightmare but.

 

[GEODGC]

It’s not looking great to be honest. I would probably go to Wales or Gibraltar, but the chances of them going through are slim. The other places are either expensive to get to or expensive when you get, or both.

%^*& no. Thessaloniki to Macedonia was bad enough.

You can fly direct from London.
