To advances I'd settle for something like:

Basel/Panathinaikos
Braga/Fiorentina
Mlada Boleslav
Aberdeen

For the experience (stadium, city, beer and women):

Bayern (away)
Athletico Madrid (home)
Hapoel Tel Aviv (home)
Random Scandi team (away)

northlondon17

az alkmaar (holland)
Tottenham (england)
galatasaray (turkey)
nuremburg (germany)
aberdeen (scotland)

I think there are bigger dangers lurking in pots 3 and 4 this year. Would not fancy Galastaray or A Madrid. Still 2 from 5 to go through.

If we only had a keeper!:D

therecklessone

3 advance Andrew.

Very happy with that draw, no trips to hoolie central (Belgrade was the main one I wanted to avoid).

Not sure Shane, they made a reference to the draw being done to split sides for that matchday and matchday 5 between the Weds and Thurs but didn't go into it.

Ackney looking at doing a coach to Brussels...other option is Eurostar with Stevo? We could fly, but that's boring...:D

Hatch99

not sure, but will no doubt push out citeh home to the sunday !!

I know I shouldn't complain (but I will;) ). It would have been nice to start off with Tel Aviv or Aalborg, as we still need a bit of time to get our $h!t together domestically. Also Anderlecht at home would have been good on the 4th day. But at least we didn't get the two strongest teams away, so all in all it is good. I would fancy us to get out of the group, but to be honest, we should being wining it!:D

twilight_singer

We'll win that group easy. No of those teams will beat us.....as long as we cut out the kamakazee defending!;)

Not many opportunities there Ronan - you'll have to wait for play-offs!! Tel Aviv tickets only being sold with a package.

Sorry it is 3 of course to qualify.

galinka

Excellent week off between Portsmouth and Arse - but of course now we will have a Carling Cup game if we get over Blackpool.

northlondon17

Thosands of fans will travel to Anderlecht...its so close to london and with the channel tunnel and the eurostar, it will be so handy..and plus the history we hav with them, alot of old school tottenham will travel for the memories ..im thinkin of travelling over for the piss up and the sing along..you would never get a ticket but who cares..80euro return with aer lingus.

Platinum member Andrew, I'm supposed to get a ticket for every game we play...that is when they don't decide to pull stunts like that. I'm in discussions with Paul Barber and the Trust, €350 spunked on return flights through Prague already...going either way, 3 days in Tel Aviv.

I'm out Wednesday evening back on Friday afternoon. Might get a bit lairy on the Thursday, we shall see.

Robxxx7

Good draw for us really

I went to Anderlecht in 84, quite an eventful trip .... Ireckon alot of pople will travel over and take in the delights of the bars around the grand place or head up towards the posh part of Brussels around Avenue Louise and several more Irish bars that open from early morning to early morning

I will try and get over for a couple of the games if i can ... wife/work permitting ... We should finish top of the group if all goes to plan

therecklessone

Club have rowed back slightly on Tel Aviv restrictions, Platinum members who've already booked flights will be issued with tickets only on production of flight and hotel booking confirmations AND passport details.

They've made it quite clear that this will apply for Tel Aviv only and that we shouldn't book anything for future Euro games until the club confirm ticketing details.
