Badger Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Don't get to excited , it may not happen still, and even if it does then it could be a qualifier against Inverness, St Johnstone, or Bala Town.

Edited 30 May, 2015 by nta786 Update.
Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Metalist Kharkiv in the qualifier. Will be tough.
Edmonton Saint Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Yay. Europa League here we come now surely!! Deserved European football after the season we have had. Villa been a shambles today.
Badger Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Don't get to excited , it may not happen still, and even if it does then it could be a qualifier against Inverness, St Johnstone, or Bala Town. having seen the post from NTA these would be better than Shalke or Dortmund of course if we wish to qualify...
Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 AEK Larnaca would be good. Most of the western European sides are good.
Raging Bull Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Does this mean we'll get our business done nice and early to please alpine saint?
nta786 Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Just some stats about Saints in Europe: Biggest win: 15/09/1976, Southampton 4-0 Marseille, Southampton Biggest defeat: 21/10/1981, Southampton 2-4 Sporting, Southampton Appearances in UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: 1 Appearances in UEFA Europa League: 5 Player with most UEFA appearances: 12 Steven Williams (WAL) Nicholas Holmes (ENG) Top scorers in UEFA club competitions: 6 Mick Channon ( ENG)
Fan The Flames Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Does this mean we'll get our business done nice and early to please alpine saint? he will only moan that we were too hasty and unprofessional.
Mattio Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Any ideas how Away leg tickets will be allocated? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Dr Who? Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 There is no way I am not going this time. Last time I did not go and we went out straight away. I have to see Saints in Europe, as I never have and I am 40! Bring it on, anyone will do!
wessex saint Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Anyone know what dates the first round will be on?
nta786 Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Anyone know what dates the first round will be on? The draw for the third qualifying round will be held on 17 July 2015. The first legs will be played on 30 July, and the second legs will be played on 6 August 2015.
doddisalegend Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Don't care someone easy so we get to the group stages proper.
nta786 Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 (edited) Currently, as it stands, with the list I've posted, Schalke 04 will be in the draw for the 3rd Qualifying Round, as Dortmund are winning their domestic cup in this moment in time. EDIT: Dortmund 1-1 Wolfsburg back to schalke or dortmund for 3rd qualifying round. EDIT 2: Dortmund 1-2 Wolfsburg now dortmund will enter 3rd qualifying round, with schalke upgraded to direct place in group stage. Edited 30 May, 2015 by nta786
Sour Mash Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Aren't we seeded so we can't be drawn against most of those good teams?
CB Fry Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Just some stats about Saints in Europe: Biggest win: 15/09/1976, Southampton 4-0 Marseille, Southampton Biggest defeat: 21/10/1981, Southampton 2-4 Sporting, Southampton Appearances in UEFA Cup Winners' Cup: 1 Appearances in UEFA Europa League: 5 Player with most UEFA appearances: 12 Steven Williams (WAL) Nicholas Holmes (ENG) Top scorers in UEFA club competitions: 6 Mick Channon ( ENG) Don't want to get all MLG on you, but we've never been in the Europa League. It weren't no league when we were in it last.
LGTL Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Are seeded teams in the 3rd qualifying round automatically at home second?
Shance Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 ****ing buzzing!! Can't believe it!! I feel like crying. What a season!!
Donatello Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Regards seeding, The9 made a few pertinent posts here - http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?53764-Top-4-chance-now-gone-Europa-Thoughts/page8#.VWoAMHpwbqA

It weren't no league when we were in it last. lol- whilst it wasn't called Europa League, point is, it's Europe's second tier competition. Plus, I took that information from UEFA's website, who presented the data like that.
SW5 SAINT Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Already checked Wikipedia for Europa Cup 2015 - 2016, we're there.......
Saint_Tony Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Is there any sort of seedings for the draw or can we get anyone?
nta786 Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Is there any sort of seedings for the draw or can we get anyone? It depends on our coefficient- if it is greater than 10.875, we will be seeded. If it is less, than we will be unseeded.

Plus, I took that information from UEFA's website, who presented the data like that. Stats are rubbish anyway, they forgot 69-70 (Rosenborg, Guimaraes and Newcastle (3rd round) and we beat Guimaraes 5-1. Also anyone who thinks Steve Williams was Welsh needs their head reading. (Maybe the Fairs Cup was not UEFA)

Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2015/draws/round=2000585/index.html Last year's draw available here if anyone interested. A lot of dross, especially if we are seeded.
Sour Mash Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Are seeded teams in the 3rd qualifying round automatically at home second? Good question, that would be handy.
david in sweden Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 a well-deserved acolade despite the somewhat disappointing second half of the season......let's hope we can get a good cup run in EUROPE !
altoniansaints Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 who has the Tv rights for qualifying rounds?? Come on you saints
adysaint Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I've just wikid where the Final is and its at St Jakob Park Basel:o You don't know me and will probably never meet me - but its a bit like you being a massive Swiss, FC Basel fan and finding out that the Final is at St Marys. Unless we go all the way, the day we get knocked out the Europa League is gonna hurt... But its probably the greatest carrot that ever got dangled in my 30 years of supporting Saints.
SNSUN Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Looking forward to Europa. We deserved this. Lets hope we can progress and at least get to the group stages, if not further.
Bucks Saint Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Who had tv rights for qualifying rounds Think its itv, but will not bother showing these early rounds unless we draw someone decent (highly unlikely)
VectisSaint Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 who has the Tv rights for qualifying rounds?? Come on you saints Usually C5 or something obscure. But could be BT.
