So our fixtures are going to be reversed?
Need to wait until Thursday for the other Luxembourg gamesSo our fixtures are going to be reversed?

who would dudelange play in the next round,if its a minnow would they not just play at their own ground
If teams can't play a match in their own stadium on the given date, they shouldn't be in the competition
Shkëndija
Yes they could play in their own ground but they played Valletta in the National Stadium
As soon as you say that, you are accepting its right we play 4 qualifiers.Luxembourg (and Wales and the Faroe Islands) put 4 teams into UEFA club competition, at basically the same stage (give or take a qualifying round) as every country up to Croatia (ranked 16th).
The 4th best team in Luxembourg should, with all due respect to whatever Esch, not be playing european football.
whats the capacity of dudelangeThen Progres v Rangers takes place in Differange on 1st August
Capacity 1800
Wasn't that more to do with the fact they were playing in the CL though?
Could be wrong but I'm sure I read somewhere that all Luxembourgish teams in the CL automatically play at the national stadium?
whats the capacity of dudelange
2558 but that might not all seats
Differange capacity is higher then the 1800 seats
Don't know how simple a fixture reversal would be. Jeunesse Esch are scheduled to play a week on Thursday if they progress which could cause issues.
Probably be lucky if we got 100 tickets if they tried to play our game at Differdange. I was at the progres vs Cardiff game and the main stand (only stand) was pretty much full of Progres fans. There’s no seats/standing area behind either goal at that stadium.
Our game will be played at the National Stadium.
So fola go out this week
We play the Thursday ?
would Dudelance not have priority like they had 2 years ago50/50 on that

Are Dudelange not the higher ranked team and more likely to take the Thursday slot?
If Fola Esch go out there’s nothing to stop Dudelange or us playing Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday they just can’t use the same stadium for 2 fixtures in 24hrs as UEFA rules state visiting team have access to the pitch 24 hrs before the match

Correct and both games at the National Stadium
30th July - Progres v Rangers
1st August - Dudelange v Shkëndija
They could also use there own stadium on the Wednesday and we stay Thursday it’s hard to predict atm we might get a better idea if Fola Esch go out tomorrow 5pm KO in Georgia
Hopefully Dudelange are forced to make their intentions clear in respect of their home tie today. It's already a short turnaround without these diddy mobs dragging their heels for the sake of a few hundred supporters.
Get what your saying mate but it's not in Dudelange's interests to make sure we are thought of / considered. They will look after themselves and rightly so, I'd want us to do the same if that circumstance ever came up.
it doesn't help our fans but it's out of our hands (I'm saying that as someone who is looking to book up).
UEFA dont care about time scale for supportersI was more meaning that UEFA should be forcing the issue given the implications any delay has on other clubs, including Progres are part of the same association. I agree it's not a concern for Dudelange.
I don't think so, it's more that such a low ranked country (48th out of 55) shouldn't have 4 entrants at all. Granted one of them has to play in the provisional qualifying round.As soon as you say that, you are accepting its right we play 4 qualifiers.
An English or Spanish fan may feel entitled to tell you Scotland has no place having 4 clubs in.I don't think so, it's more that such a low ranked country (48th out of 55) shouldn't have 4 entrants at all. Granted one of them has to play in the provisional qualifying round.
