There's some very good teams that are unseeded like Red Star, CSKA Sofia and Tottenham.

We're in Group 3 of the draw. The unseeded teams that we could play are Hearts, Nancy (France), Sulte Waregem (Belgium), FC Salzburg (Austria), and Randers (Denmark). At least we won't have to travel too far!

Paul beat me to it!

I'm looking forward to booking flights today. I'm chuffed with the list of destinations. Nowhere too scary.

14th and 28th September in response to my question before.

When are people thinking of flying out and back.

I was thinking about out on 13th back on 15th

[Glenn]

When do they announce the actual date the game is being played.

I'm looking forward to booking flights today. I'm chuffed with the list of destinations. Nowhere too scary.

Straight after the draw (once they know who is home first leg). However, beware, for the Sofia game the legs were switched a few hours later (after Gav and Debs had booked flights).

[Paul]

I think the games are played on the 14th and 28th September............personally I shall drive to Edinburgh

[Eddie]

Please let us get Nancy.

[Glenn]

So. Which cheap flights sites do people recommend ?

[Gav]

Hopefully going out on the Tuesday and coming back Friday or Saturday depending on flight times and venues.

[Glenn]

Wargem seems to be just outside Bruge.

[Gav]

So. Which cheap flights sites do people recommend ?

I know Ryanair fly direct to Salzburg from Stanstead as we used Salzburg as a base before Engalnd/Germanay in Munich, so thats one cheap air option. You can fly from Blackpool to Stanstead rtn for £2, just hope the flight times are helpful should we draw them.

[Ricky]

ThomsonFly go to Salzburg from Coventry as well.

Found some good deals on the Eurostar for Belgium.

[Gav]

I think apart from the Denmark option it’s not a bad draw in terms of hitting us in the pocket. Not want to tempt fate but if we do manage to get through, this trip could have been allot worse on the old wallet.

[Glenn]

Denmark looks a bugger. Nearest place I can find that I recognise the name of is Aalborg, which is about 50 miles away.

[Ricky]

If we get Waregem it might be worth staying in Bruges. I've found a Eurostar deal including 2 nights in a 3* hotel for £90. Hotel is on the outskirts of Bruge. You can get one in the center of Bruges for £120 including train and 2 nights in the hotel.

[Glenn]

Can any of the Danish fans confirm Aarhus airport is the closest to Randers ?

[Gav]

Went to T in the park last year and stayed in a new travel lodge in Edinburgh just up the road from the ground, £40 a night with breakfast.

[1864roverite]

Hearts allegedly have to play at Murayfield for the Euro games so bring it on

[greggyk]

Please let us get Nancy.

are they any good though?

[Ricky]

Glenn, Randers is 22 miles from Aarhus and it does appear to be the closest airport

[Gav]

are they any good though?

Always difficult going to France, the top half of the French league has some good teams.

[Glenn]

Cheers Ricky. Thought so, just wanted to be sure.
