Pilchards Posted 6 August, 2015 Share 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. 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 6 August, 2015 Share 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.

Minsk Posted 6 August, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakeySFC Posted 6 August, 2015 Share 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.

trousers Posted 7 August, 2015 Share Posted 7 August, 2015 Has anyone worked out yet what the point is of splitting the teams into arbitrary groups ahead of the draw?
