What a result, UEFA Cup qualification and we're over the moon. Lets pin this thread and talk about where we won't to go and how we'll get there.

Debs fancies Minsk; I fancy an easy trip to Portugal or Spain in the early rounds then Eastern Europe in the league format.

Tris fancies a kebab.......

SO HAPPY

[rock steady]

Europe Here We Come, Europe Europe Here We Come!

We're all going on a European Tour, a european tour!

Somewhere hot and not turkey would be nice.

[Ste B]

Modes, Turkey was as good as any of the European trips I have been on.

Lets just hope we actually get through to the group stages, rather than cock it up against some two bit nobodies like Trelleborgs or Celtic as we have done in the past.

First round in Riga would be nice

[Oklahoma]

I would love to see Rovers beat Braga here in Portugal!

[yawnsie]

Remarkable fact of the day: Rovers have now qualified for the UEFA Cup in each of the past four World Cup years (94, 98, 02, and now 06). Hopefully we won't have to wait until 2010 to win a game in it.

we're all going on a european tour

Sparky's reaction (from the Australian Advertiser!)

Hughes is aware that Rovers' last foray into Europe, three years ago, placed too great a demand on the club's league form, triggering an alarming slide, and he is determined to avoid a repeat by drafting recruits.

And he believes Rovers' European qualification will attract players and help to convince the likes of Craig Bellamy, Morten Gamst Pedersen and Steven Reid, who have all been linked with moves, to stay at Ewood Park.

"We will look at the demands of European football and try to strengthen in the way every club tries to strengthen during the (northern) summer," Hughes said.

"I think we can build on the qualities we have showed this year.

"Next year will place big demands on the club and we are hoping for a significant run in Europe and the premiership.

"Our chances of progressing in Europe depend on the kind of draw we get.

"Everton showed how important that is this year when they drew Villarreal, who went on to reach the Champions League semi-finals.

"But European football is an experience that will help our players and it will help us attract more players to the club.

"And we certainly don't want to lose our best players."

i fancy east europe, where the beer is cheap

[brfcjon]

YEEEEEHHAAAAA! Great feeling today. Watched the game in a pub and everyone there seemed to agree rovers are playing good football. Nomore buly boys=)

Anyway... Hoping for denmark or southern sweden. Will make traveling easier. Also i am distinctky not hoping for eastern europe. Those teams are very often very tough to play away and they are often underestimated. Austria, Israel and scandinavia will prove our best chance of a good run...

[ihtd]

Bring on a team from the middle of nowhere. Not Israel though, i don't fancy a trip there.

[rover6]

The UEFA Cup is a hugely prestigious tournament. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

(Until we go out, that is).

[sausagemandog]

Lets start of somewhere pleasant and easy to get to like Eire or Gretna, give us all a chance to save up for next few games. Never been to Albania !!

[mattym]

Not bothered where it is I am going, since we 1st played Trelleborg all those years ago I have always been saying that I would go but always waited for us to play a big club, that never happened and I have always regreted and thought I had missed my chance.

Im not going to miss out this time coz you never know when we will play in Europe again !!

So dont take it for GRANTED get along and support the lads !! and dont miss out on the wonderful opportunity Hughes'y and the boys have given us as you never know it may never happen again !!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Whoever we get its time to do ourselves justice.....no more Trelleborgs,no more Genclerbiligi performances.

The Uefa cup is a privilige,we are representing our country....we want to do a Boro!

'Engalnd' rock steady.

Anywhere for me - all depends on the timing and where but as already mentioned we will probably end up playing Gretna

[Ricky]

I'm most definately going to an away game in Europe next season. I've cleared the credit card ready for it already.

[Eddie]

Can't wait, I'll be there for at least one or two of them. Don't really mind who we get, but I'm looking forward to us taking it seriously for once and let's see how far we can go.

[modes98]

Modes, Turkey was as good as any of the European trips I have been on.

I just don't fancy being stabbed

[Jordan]

Absolutly fantastic!!!!!

Russia for me however I fancy a trip back to Bulgaria.

[Jordan]

Anyone found the date for the draw?

First round last year was the 15th and 29th September.

Edited May 3, 2006 by Jordan

[SamTheShrew]

id like to go to Russia first, nice and early so it isnt too cold! Ive always wanted to go there and would definitely make the effort to go

[ihtd]

Stuff the student loan that i'll be on next year, i can survive on 6p beans and that only if it means i can be at the away games in Europe.

It would be excellent to do well in it and get a really big side in the latter rounds. Can you imagine if we got one of the side sknocked out of the CL and it could be a big one, just look how badly Manure did in this seasons cup, they could have finished 3rd in their group and played in the Uefa Cup.

[Gav]

I fancy a trip back to Bulgaria.

You better start saving because I'm not bloody paying this time

[den]

Just for bragging rights - how many times have rovers qualified for Europe? 4 or 5 maybe?
