Saint-Armstrong Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Odd. Surely it's perfectly normal for a fan based in Norway to want us to play over there...
great_saint Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Please Please a team from Norway Molde. The Vegard Forren Cup.
SuperMikey Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Please Please a team from Norway Either of the Norwegian or Danish teams would represent a good draw for us. Nightmare draw is any of the Eastern European teams
Matthew Le God Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Please Please a team from Norway Odd. He is from Sweden and possibly wants a relatively close game. Location Fagersta - Sweden
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 He is from Sweden and possibly wants a relatively close game. I think that one went over your head!
Lighthouse Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 He is from Sweden and possibly wants a relatively close game. Don't know whether to laugh or cry at your posts.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 I think that one went over your head! You just knew it was coming.
CB Fry Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Surely it's perfectly normal for a fan based in Norway to want us to play over there... Quite frankly a team from Norway is Odd.
St.Patrik Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Yeah I'm selfish here - I can drive to those game - that's why we won't get any of these teams since Mr.murphy seems to love me......
VectisSaint Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Can someone post the list of the unseeded teams we could meet? [TABLE=width: 95] [TR] [TD=class: xl65, width: 95]Qabala [TABLE=width: 95] [TR] [TD=class: xl65, width: 95]Brondby [TABLE=width: 95] [TR] [TD=class: xl65, width: 95]Rabotnicki [TABLE=width: 95] [TR] [TD]Hajduk[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Odd [TABLE=width: 95] [TR] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Zilina [TABLE=width: 95] [TR] [TD]Rosenborg[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Dinamo Minsk[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [TABLE=width: 95] [TR] [TD]Thun[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Jablonec [TABLE=width: 95] [TR] [TD=class: xl65, width: 95]Zorya Atromitos/AIK[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Astra Slovan Bratislava/Krasnodar[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Aberdeen/Kairat Vojvodina HJK Qarabag Videoton Milsami Molde Midtjylland
Lazlo78 Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Let's draw FC Midtjylland with Tim Sparv in the team. The majority stockholder in the club is Brentford FC owner Matthew Benham...
CB Fry Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 He is from Sweden and possibly wants a relatively close game. Thanks for being there.
ericofarabia Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Lets draw a team who have a decent sized ground and can offer us a decent amount of tickets
LGTL Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Whoever we get, I need the away leg to be second. I'm climbing the Sydney Harbour bridge today, if we get drawn away in the first leg I'll be liable to jump off the top of it.
Pilchards Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 The truth for me is all those team on the right side are ****, the game is going to be a dull game for anyone watching. Rather play one of the seeded teams for some real excitement and I reckon we could beat them all.

Rather play one of the seeded teams for some real excitement and I reckon we could beat them all. Lets save the excitement for the group stage. I want the easiest passage possible there, not just to secure those six games, but also in terms of not knackering the players too much at the start of the season.
Pamplemousse Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Lets draw a team who have a decent sized ground and can offer us a decent amount of tickets Just compiled a list of the stadium capacities for each of the unseeded teams. I've included Rheindorf Altach in there as they are currently leading 3-1 on aggregate in their match but it's half time so it's not over yet. But there aren't many who play at decent sized grounds I'm afraid. Hajduk Split 35,000 Rabotnički 33,460 Qarabağ 31,200 Brøndby 29,000 Kairat 23,804 Zorya Luhansk 22,288 Rosenborg 21,400 Rheindorf Altach 17,400 Vojvodina 14,458 Videoton 14,300 Odd 12,500 Molde 11,800 Midtjylland 11,800 Žilina 11,313 HJK 10,770 Milsami Orhei 10,400 Thun 10,300 Dinamo Minsk 10,060 Atromitos 9,050 Astra Giurgiu 8,500 Gabala 8,000 Jablonec 6,280
Saint_clark Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 just wait till the beer becomes too much and plastic bar furniture is being thrown all over the place Obviously the harmony wasn't gonna last. As expected. plastic furniture inbound!!! just hope those in the home end behave Do be quiet. There was no trouble at all between Saints and Vitesse.
Saint_Ash Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 (edited) I want astra to show west ham how to do it. Edited 6 August, 2015 by Saint_Ash
thefuriousb Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Whoever we get, I need the away leg to be second. I'm climbing the Sydney Harbour bridge today, if we get drawn away in the first leg I'll be liable to jump off the top of it. I'm the opposite. I need the away leg first as I can't get time off work for the 2nd leg because lots already have the week before the bank holiday/long weekend off.
Shance Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Would be nice to draw Astra and demolish them, just to rub West Hams noses in it all the more!
Shroppie Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Just been talking with senior Arnhem police officer. Trouble was started by known group of Vitesse thugs. Some Saints fans were stupid enough to get involved, saw chairs thrown at Police, but thunk they got away with cautions Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Minsk Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Minsk score! Highly unlikely. I am in the UK but the wife is back home.... Great effort from Dinamo. The dream is still alive! From a purely selfish point of view, it would be fantastic if we get them - but only if we play the home leg first. I am over here at the moment and fly back there on the 25th. Although, to be honest, I would rather we had them in the group stages.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 @SVVitesse: Hope you had a good time in Arnhem,have a safe trip home. Best of luck in the next EL round. #saintsfc @SouthamptonFC
LVSaint Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 Shame Rui Fonte is not on loan to Belenenses anymore as he was last season. (I'm staying a few minutes walk away from their stadium at the moment). Would have been nice to have drawn them.
BlakeySFC Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 (edited) I believe we can only draw an unseeded team (column on the right): Personal picks out of that list would be: Odd, HJK Helsinki, Molde, Brondby or FC Thun. Edited 6 August, 2015 by BlakeySFC
Crazy Diamond Posted 6 August, 2015 Posted 6 August, 2015 I seem to remember Zelina getting the better of Villa a few years ago.
the wedge Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 I am in Athens on the 20th. *Prays for a draw against Atromitos*.
The9 Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Morning - they've grouped the teams again, we can now only play 7 HJK Helsinki (FIN) 8 FC Thun (SUI) 9 Astra Giurgiu (ROU) 10 Midtjylland (DEN) 11 Odds BK (NOR) 12 Qäbälä (AZE) We're number 5.

The9 Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/newsid=2269821.html For the info.
The9 Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Looking at that list of capacities above, Odds 12500 is the BIGGEST ground we're potentially going to play at. (Don't get Qabala and Qarabag confused)... Allocation will be a sod.
trousers Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Has anyone worked out yet what the point is of splitting the teams into arbitrary groups ahead of the draw? I'm assuming its UEFA trying to make it appear more 'exciting' than it actually is but maybe there's a more scientific reason that I'm missing somewhere....

At a guess... so teams from the same nation don't get drawn together?

The only explanation I have is UEFA having a clear anti-Saints agenda.
trousers Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 At a guess... so teams from the same nation don't get drawn together? Ah, yep, that could be it, although I rather suspect CB Fry has hit the nail on the head
Kingsland Red Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Four out of six possible opponents from Western Europe: HJK Helsinki; FC Thun; Astra Giurgiu; Midtjylland; Odds BK and Qabala,
Pancake Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Mystic Pancake says it will be FC Thun, first game away.

Convict Colony Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Bet we get Almaty the furthest trip possible, I expect the former capital would be interesting for those who'd make it
angelman Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Bet we get Almaty the furthest trip possible, I expect the former capital would be interesting for those who'd make it Wow. Didn't realise that it is only 175 miles from the Chinese border.
Nolan Posted 7 August, 2015 Posted 7 August, 2015 Norway, Denmark or Switzerland please... Don't want a long journey before either game against two promoted teams. Sent from my HTC Desire 310 using Tapatalk
