Just had the same email. As I now have a ticket in the Saints section i was just hoping to sell on the ticket (at face value) to someone who would have wanted it. Trouble is, I really don't want to make a special trip on the day ahead of the game and away from the bars for this and I'll defiantly be proudly wearing my saints shirt. If It doesn't arrive tomorrow, it may well just be staying in the ticket office! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 4 August, 2015 Share Posted 4 August, 2015 Managed to get hold of 1 ticket in the away end. Means out of our group, 3 are in the away end leaving 1 in the home end. Long shot but if anyone can help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 4 August, 2015 Share Posted 4 August, 2015 At the moment there are 17 teams in the play-off round which definitely will have a lower co-efficient than Saints. There are 22 seeded teams and 22 unseeded teams so we need at least 5 more results to go our way to ensure we are seeded. Only judging by first leg results, we would be the 20th seed and therefore one of the top seeds but it's touch and go. We really could do with Ajax coming back in that game.

(Tim Sparv played for FC Midjjylland) Just need Ajax to turn around their game now. Currently 2-0 down (2-4 down on aggregate) Ajax got one back 1-2 now.

The9 Posted 4 August, 2015 Share Posted 4 August, 2015 (edited) Time for an in-context update re: Play Off Round seedings: If there are 22 teams with a lower seeding than Saints we'll be seeded in the Play-Off round (if we're in it). There will be 15 CL 3rd QR losers and 29 EL 3rd QR winners in the PO Round. The following teams will definitely be ranked below Saints in the Europa League Play Off Round (ELPOR), if there are 22 of them, Saints will be seeded. Confirmed: 1. Kairat OR Aberdeen 2. Žilina OR Vorskla Poltava 3. Debrecen OR Rosenborg 4. Thun OR Vaduz 5. Belenenses OR IFK Göteborg 6. Charleroi OR Zorya Luhansk 7. Elfsborg OR Odds 8. Apollon Limassol OR Gabala 9. AIK OR Atromitos 10. Brøndby OR Omonia Nicosia 11. Hajduk Split OR Strømsgodset 12. Krasnodar OR Slovan Bratislava 13. Milsami Orhei OR Skënderbeu Korçë 14. HJK Finland OR Astana 15. Midtjylland (lost to APOEL in CL 3QR) 16. Molde (lost to Dinamo Zagreb in CL 3QR) In addition, West Ham have the same ranking as Saints, whilst Astra Giurgiu are lower than Saints - that one will be for UEFA to decide but ideally an Astra win (though in the long run England's coeffecient might take a kicking). So we need another 5 or 6 results to go in our favour. They need to come from the following matches: CL 3QR - losers into (ELPOR) - in these 4 matches we need results to go with form as we don't want high ranked teams dropping into the ELPOR. Qarabağ if they lose to Celtic (Qarabag 0-1 but at home tomorrow) Partizan if they lose to Steaua (1-1, with Partizan at home tomorrow) Videoton if they lose to BATE Borisov (1-1, with Videoton away tomorrow) Malmö if they lose to RB Salzburg (Malmo 0-2, but home tomorrow). Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round (winners into ELPOR) - IF the 4 matches above go with form, we need one (or two if West Ham are above us) of the Europa League games to go against form for us to be seeded. However, for every match above that doesn't go to form, we need an additional team from the left column in the list below to win as well. Leading sides in bold. Dinamo Minsk if they beat FC Zurich (Minsk 1-0 up with home leg to play) İstanbul Başakşehir if they beat AZ Alkmaar (Alkmaar 2-0 up with away leg to play) AEK Larnaca if they beat Bordeaux (Bordeaux 3-0 up with away to play) Spartak Trnava if they beat PAOK (PAOK 1-0 up with away to play) Târgu Mureș if they beat St Etienne (St Etienne 3-0 up with home to play, forget this!) Jablonec if they beat FC Copenhagen (Copenhagen 1-0 up with home to play) Vojvodina if they beat Sampdoria (Vojvodina 4-0 up with home to play, mental, but that's all but +1) Kukësi if they beat Legia Warsaw (Legia 3-0 up - awarded, with home to play, forget this one) Sturm Graz if they beat Rubin Kazan (Rubin 3-2 up with home to play) Ironi Kiryat Shmona if they beat Slovan Liberec (Liberec 2-1 up with away to play) Wolfsberger if they beat Borussia Dortmund (Dortmund 1-0 up with home to play) Željezničar if they beat Standard Liege (Liege 2-1 up with away to play) Inter Baku if they beat Athletic Bilbao (At. Bilbao 2-0 up with away to play) Rabotnički if they beat Trabzonspor (Rabotnicki 1-0 up with away to play) Rheindorf Altach if they beat Vitoria Guimaraes (Altach 2-1 up with away to play) Edited 4 August, 2015 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 4 August, 2015 Share Posted 4 August, 2015 So it's about 50:50 as to whether we're seeded or not? Basically, yeah. Right on the borderline - and not helping is that we have the same coefficient as West Ham and it is implied that there's a countback on previous years which would presumably favour them having qualified for Europe more recently. Though if they lose to Astra, problem solved. With Vojvodina 4-0 up against Sampdoria, as long as the CL games go to form we could be only one upset away come Thursday (as long as it's not us! ).

There were quite a few shocks in the Europa (some of which were away wins) that haven't been matched by shocks in the CL (shocks in the Europa are good for us; shocks in the CL are bad). As long as there are more shocks in the Europa than the CL, we'll be seeded. Edited 4 August, 2015 by shurlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there are more shocks in the Europa than the CL, we'll be seeded. I think it's less likely than that. We need 6 results. Currently 3 are going our way in the CL (of 4) and 5 are going our way in the EL (of 15) including Astra over West Ham, and Vojvodina which is all but bolted on. But in the CL matches there's only 1 goal in it in 2 of those 3. Celtic, Steaua, BATE and Red Bull Salzburg could do us a favour by winning their ties tomorrow, leaving only 2 of those 15 EL match upsets to be required (or 2 of the 4 currently in the process of being an upset, if you're looking at it a different way). But unless Steaua pull their finger out and beat Partizan I think we're going to need at least 3 upsets in the EL of the 4 currently in place. There are currently two possible upsets which are only 1 goal up with the away leg to play - and 3 others who are currently losing but might turn it around and are only 1 down with a home leg to play. It's not much more than 52/48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Arnhem authorities in their press release yesterday they are expecting around 2000 saints fans. @saintsfccop the other day tweeted "upto 3000" (We obviously only have 1400 in the saints section) There still seems to be plenty of Saints fans on twitter looking for tickets. And with tickets ordered for the home sections not arriving in the post so far I think there will be plenty who will take them off your hands.
