marc_saint Posted 29 July, 2015 Share Posted 29 July, 2015 Perhaps Celtic losing is a better result as that may help us secure van Dijk? True, but would move us down the seedings though.

Neil Posted 29 July, 2015 Share Posted 29 July, 2015 Frustrated to miss out having gone to eight away games last season but such is life. All I could see online was Newcastle away, then when Vitesse finally popped up I clicked on Vitesse but nothing happened, rang up and told it had sold out 15 minutes ago. I'm still going over there and intend to have a great time, should be a cracking atmosphere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 29 July, 2015 Share Posted 29 July, 2015 You have to be a complete moron if you think concessions aren't relevant to the discussion of prices - ultimately it's the total cost that matters to the punter, how much more he has to pay out of his pocket relative to previous years. Concessions, fees, ticket prices are all relevant, however you slice and dice the individual components. It's not a discussion of prices, it's a discussion of price rises, of which there have been none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HJK Helsinki 0 - 0 FC Astana (Result) Irrelevant who wins as both teams have lower coefficient than Saints Red Bull Salzburg 1 - 0 Malmö FF (63 mins) We need a RB Salzburg win. Malmo have a lower coefficient than us We need a Steaua Bucharest win. Partizan have a lower coefficient than us Celtic v FK Qarabag We need a Celtic win. Qarabag have a lower coefficient than us Lech Poznan v FC Basel Both teams have a higher coefficient SK Rapid Vienna v Ajax We need an Ajax win. Rapid Vienna have a lower coefficient than us Red Bull Salzburg 2 - 0 Malmö FF FT (good..) Steaua Bucharest 1 - 1 Partizan Belgrade FT (away goal, not good..)

Steaua Bucharest 1-1 Partizan Belgrade Steaua in trouble but a late equalizer keeps it interesting. Red Bull 2-0 Malmo looking good.

If so, tell me here and ill call em tomorrow and see what i can find out. I've read on here about tobacco shops which sell match tickets in the home end for the game on the 6th, can you advise on the name/locations of any in Arnhem?

thefuriousb Posted 30 July, 2015 Share Posted 30 July, 2015 Quick question for The9 (unless there is someone else that genuinely may know the answer) ...should we get through this tie, do we know which leg is played away in the next round? Does it depend if we are seeded? Eg Seeded sides play home game second. Or is it random. I need the away leg to be 1st otherwise I have to ask nicely if a colleague will kindly give up their days off (and the 27th leads into the bank holiday weekend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 30 July, 2015 Share Posted 30 July, 2015 For those getting a bit antsy, Kairat v Aberdeen is on Premier Sport (Virgin 551) right now, which I assume is the channel that will become BT Sport Europe on August 1st (though they are claiming it'll be added). Kairat are a bit tasty, have Tymoschuk playing for them, and are wearing Vitesse Arnhem colours. I am very glad we didn't have to get to Kazakhstan by 3:45pm today, I had meetings yesterday.

Shance Posted 30 July, 2015 Share Posted 30 July, 2015 This is how the seeding stands at the minute in terms of teams with a higher coefficients than the two English clubs. Borussia Dortmund (GER) 99.883 FC Rubin Kazan (RUS) 57.099 Athletic Club (ESP) 56.999 FC København (DEN) 40.960 PAOK FC (GRE) 40.880 Trabzonspor AS (TUR) 36.520 R. Standard de Liège (BEL) 25.440 Legia Warszawa (POL) 24.800 FC Girondins de Bordeaux (FRA) 24.483 UC Sampdoria (ITA) 18.102 Vitória SC (POR) 17.776 AS Saint-Étienne (FRA) 16.983 FC Zürich (SUI) 16.875 FC Slovan Liberec (CZE) 16.325 Southampton West Ham You then have the following with a higher coefficient in the Champions League 3rd qualifying round: Salzburg Celtic Steaua Bucharest Basel v Lech Poznan Ajax CSKA Moscow v Sparta Prague APOEL Maccabi Tel Aviv v Viktoria Plzen Fenerbache v Shakhtar Donetsk Panathinaikos v Club Brugge Young Boys v Monaco Bate Borisov Dinamo Zagreb. 22 teams will be seeded in the playoff round. Southampton and West Ham are currently 15 and 16th seeds. There are five games in the Champions League which guarantee a higher seeded team drops in to the Europa League. Leaving Southampton and West Ham 21st and 22nd seeds going in to the playoff round. Any upsets push it one way or the other. We need the Europa League qualifiers with a higher seeding to go out and the Champions League qualifiers to stay in the Champions League. Sampdoria look a definite heading out which helps both English clubs in the playoff round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 30 July, 2015 Share Posted 30 July, 2015 PS Shance, we already went over this a couple of pages back, it's easier to identify the 22 non-seeds who if they go through guarantee we're seeded. Is useful to be reminded of the coefficients though. After that it's trying to avoid being in Pot 4 of the groups (at least we can't get Liverpool or Spurs).

RedAndWhite91 Posted 31 July, 2015 Share Posted 31 July, 2015 Thought the Vitesse fans attempted to make a decent atmosphere towards the end as suggested above. Fair play to them for travelling over. Compared to some of our Premier League friends, I thought they were alright. I did not join in our 'let's all have a disco' retort. I did find it funny how, after our fans gave it a "what the f*cking hell was that" after their player hoofed it out of play, they piped up with "you're sh*t and you know you are", and mere seconds after they had stopped Mane fed Pelle through to smash home our first.
