glasgowdon Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 Source? (For being away first.) Seeded teams are always away first. Quote
Penfold Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 Just had a quick check and Brondby, who were seeded in last seasons 1st qualifying round, were away 2nd. Might have been for a city clash, mind, but I cba checking more. UEFA Cup rules PDF also states ties are determined by draw and mentions nowhere about the seeded team away first. Meh, checked a few more: Djurgårdens IF (seeded) were away 2nd while Man City (also seeded) were away first. Quote
Harcus Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 The boy carhandle on AbMad seems to think there is no hardnfast rule to home/away order. http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=4&fid=27&sty=2&act=1&mid=2125823470 He seems to be more in the know than the rest of us. I suppose it doesn't really matter, as we're going to know fuck all till July 17th anyway. Quote
mileenddon Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 I have a mate in UEFA and it's definitely not decided before the draw is made, we will play home or away Quote
Goldie03 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 I have a mate in UEFA and it's definitely not decided before the draw is made, we will play home or away Never Quote
minijc Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 I have a mate in UEFA and it's definitely not decided before the draw is made, we will play home or away As long as Sally and Alf are there I'll be chuffed. Quote
Harcus Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 Never it's the mate part I had a hard time believing. Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Can't be arsed tracking back so apologies if it's already been confirmed above: http://www.scotprem.com/content/default.asp?page=s2&newsid=7905&back=home July 2009 17 - Draw for Europa League QR3 30 - Europa League Qual R3, 1st leg (Aberdeen enter) August 2009 6 - Europa League Qual R3, 2nd leg Quote
One Bobby Clark Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Completely selfish I know, but I want the home leg first - will be my last Aberdeen game for years as I emigrate on 1 August. Will come home for a glory hunt if we make it to a cup final Quote

Meh, checked a few more: Djurgårdens IF (seeded) were away 2nd while Man City (also seeded) were away first. Sure we had this discussion last year as well. I seem to remember that 50% of seeded teams are home first and 50% are away first. No pattern, just a random 50/50 split. Guess that means we have a 50% chance of getting away first Quote
Andrew Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 If we get though this round it would be quite fun getting Fulham. 6,000 Dandies in Trafalgar Square. Quote
He-Man Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 If we get though this round it would be quite fun getting Fulham. 6,000 Dandies in Trafalgar Square. Fulham wouldn't give us 25% of their tickets Quote
dave_min Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 Fulham wouldn't give us 25% of their tickets I doubt that would stop anybody going though. Quote
glasgow sheep Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Posted June 9, 2009 As the 3rd round is before our season starts is there any chance the games could be moved to a Saturday (if the other club is agreeable) rather than a Thur? Quote
dave_min Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 As the 3rd round is before our season starts is there any chance the games could be moved to a Saturday (if the other club is agreeable) rather than a Thur? I'd say there's almost no chance of that happening Great idea though GS Quote
Jute Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Fulham wouldn't give us 25% of their tickets As well as the away end at Fulham they have what is called the neutrals stand which is basically and end for tourists and away fans who did not get a ticket for the away end proper. Cannot see it being a problem getting in there if we were to draw them. Quote

Ajja Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 I'm hoping to see the Dons fans here: Their fans at Pittodrie would be a cracking atmosphere also. Quote

Ajja Posted June 12, 2009 Report Posted June 12, 2009 I'm guessing Derry City. Indeed, the Brandywell. Utter shit hole of a stadium but great atmosphere. Quote
dave_min Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 I'm guessing Derry City. In that case they would be one of my preferred opponents too. Quote
Kowalski Posted June 18, 2009 Report Posted June 18, 2009 Have I got this right.... We're definitely seeded for the 3rd qualifying round. We don't know if we'll be at home or away in the first leg. It is likely we'll get some smaller European team in the middle of nowhere. Quote
