Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Think its itv, but will not bother showing these early rounds unless we draw someone decent (highly unlikely) Pretty sure Hull's qualifier was on TV.
Lorne Malvo Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 More chance of winning this and getting to Champs League than finishing top 4.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 (edited) 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) Stevie Williams Wales? He was our captain in our best ever league finish in the top flight of 2nd in 83/84 and an England International! The UEFA site needs correcting! Edited 30 May, 2015 by Saint Without a Halo
sydenhamssocks Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 BT Sport have the Europa league for the next 3 years.. Starting now!
S-Clarke Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 BT have all Europa League and CL games, no other broadcaster has a sniff. (Apart from highlights)
Sour Mash Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I've just spotted and I think this is right, that the 2nd round of the 2nd leg is a week after the draw for our third round qualifying draw, so we know if we're home or away, but not where we're playing? Utterly ridiculous for the travelling fans, what a joke!
adysaint Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Unless anyone proves me wrong I've estimated that FC Kairat in Amaty, Kazakhstan with a distance of 4363 miles is the furthest potential opponent.
sydenhamssocks Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Fantastic! The least we deserve. Can't wait !!
LGTL Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I've just spotted and I think this is right, that the 2nd round of the 2nd leg is a week after the draw for our third round qualifying draw, so we know if we're home or away, but not where we're playing? Utterly ridiculous for the travelling fans, what a joke! Correct. We will have exactly one week to book
Saint Charlie Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Looks from those co-efficients like we will be seeded.
hasper57saint Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Metalist Kharkiv in the qualifier. Will be tough. It'll take a lot to 'grind them down'!!
Sour Mash Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Correct. We will have exactly one week to book That is a joke, ridiculous. Could really have done with straight into the group stages!
Suhari Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 ****ing typical. For the last two seasons I've had access to loads of CL and Europa VIP match tickets. We qualify and the sponsorship I benefitted from has ended. Nuts.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 ****ing ******** , I've arranged my 2 week summer holiday around the start of the season and Saints go and **** it up by starting earlier . What are the chances of a spainish , French or Portuguese side I can get to from costa del sol ? Don't think the old snap dragon will be too happy if I disappear mid holiday for more than a day .
aintforever Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I'm hoping for someone rubbish and reasonably near for the first game. Looking at the teams in the hat it looks like it will probably be somewhere at the arse end of Eastern Europe though.
View From The Top Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 ****ing ******** , I've arranged my 2 week summer holiday around the start of the season and Saints go and **** it up by starting earlier . What are the chances of a spainish , French or Portuguese side I can get to from costa del sol ? Don't think the old snap dragon will be too happy if I disappear mid holiday for more than a day . I have the same issue. 1st leg is the day before we leave for Southern France and the 2nd leg when we are out there. Mrs has been told that if we are away in the 2nd leg that the lad and myself will be finding a way to go. If we are away in the 1st leg then she may have to do the drive solo with the girls and we will meet her there. That was her idea. She's ace is my Mrs.
Lets B Avenue Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 (edited) Dortmund have to qualify. Just lost the German Cup Final 3-1 to Wolfsburg, so Schalke get in direct. Edited 30 May, 2015 by Lets B Avenue
Saint-Armstrong Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Katharina's son/relative has just posted a photo of the Saints badge with the Europa League logo. The accompanying message says "Bring it on!" with a red love-heart.
SNSUN Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I'm off to visit the Nou Camp in July for a tour. What chances Barcelona get demoted to the Europa qualifiers?
SuperMikey Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I'll be in Sweden when the first leg of the 3rd Qual Rnd is played, so hopefully we come up against a Scandinavian side so I can pop over!
LGTL Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I'm in Australia 3rd-23rd August. Praying that we get an away tie in the first leg!
positivepete Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Norrkoping would be good. Not sure would be allowed back! Don't want VdG of Portugal we have played them before as well.
IOWSaintDaz Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 do you think the club will be releasing a dedicated Europa league kit?, i'm sure other teams in the past have played in different kit for the European games
SuperMikey Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 do you think the club will be releasing a dedicated Europa league kit?, i'm sure other teams in the past have played in different kit for the European games Like this badboy?
Saintandy666 Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 How does the draw work? There's no chance we can get west ham or liverpool or something like that is there?
SuperMikey Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 How does the draw work? There's no chance we can get west ham or liverpool or something like that is there? Liverpool are going in at the group stage along with Spurs. If West Ham win in the 1st and 2nd qualifying rounds we could draw them unless the draw is seeded - not sure on that one.
Saint Garrett Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Liverpool are going in at the group stage along with Spurs. If West Ham win in the 1st and 2nd qualifying rounds we could draw them unless the draw is seeded - not sure on that one. Imagine getting West Ham FFS.
Latheal Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 How does the draw work? There's no chance we can get west ham or liverpool or something like that is there? It's unclear but think you can't draw a team in your own country till the last 16 http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/season=2015/competitionformat/
Pat from Poole Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Mrs BS fancies Marseille I don't. I went there for England v Tunisia in the 98 World Cup, and the hot weather, loads of bars at Le Vieux Port and large numbers of Algerians, Moroccans and Tunisians was a recipe for fairly major trouble.
marc_saint Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Ourselves and Dortmund will be both be seeded in the 3rd qualifying round though due to our coefficiant ratings. So we wont be getting them in the 3rd qualifying rounds.
rick1976.4.38 Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 do me a favour,steve Williams welsh,one of our greatest players is English lets enjoy the European ride
Saint Garrett Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Imagine getting West Ham FFS. Just had a look, we've both got roughly the same seeding, so can't play each other. Not sure about Liverpool or Spurs though. Exciting anyway, would rather not get Larnaca as going there in 2 weeks!!
miserableoldgit Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Mrs BS fancies Marseille I have VERY bad memories of Saints playing in Marseille....
supersonic Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Watch us get knocked out by Inverness in the qualifying rounds now.
nta786 Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Watch us get knocked out by Inverness in the qualifying rounds now. That would actually be awful- Scotland is no European tour!!!! I blame you if that happens.
Dr Who? Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I think apartheid from the seeded part of the draw, the rest is pretty random. This means the home or away leg could be on the 30th July.... Now I am hoping the away leg is first, as I am in Morocco on holiday from the 1st until 8th August!
Dr Who? Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 This is great news, but I cannot help think.... If only we got 2 more points!
Downthe36 Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 I imagine ticket allocation for away games will follow on from away games attended this season?
davefizzy14 Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Yes get in! What an exciting end to the season. Europe here we come, COYR
Dr Who? Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 (edited) I imagine ticket allocation for away games will follow on from away games attended this season? I would not worry to much..... There was plenty of room the last away game in Europe! Not many people can drop everything and travel in the UK let alone Eastern Europe! Even more so with 1 weeks notice! There is also the expense! Edited 30 May, 2015 by Dr Who?
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Well this means , the new signings better get signed a bit quick then..
southamptonbairn Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Saints have no club coefficient ratings over the past 5 seasons and only get 20% of the associations points, so no guarantee we will be seeded
suewhistle Posted 30 May, 2015 Posted 30 May, 2015 Really? The9 was suggesting that we would and he seems to have done a great deal of useful research. As I said below his comments, I'll just wait for the draw!
