Doesn't tell me anything I didn't already know or couldn't find out within a second on Google. Thought it was going to be a proper guide with do's and dont's - Airlines that go to nearby airports etc ... probably expecting too much but that's not much of a guide either.

I'm having a wee look there (and a think) and anyone wanting to book the minute the draws made, if we draw Progres then you also need to then look at the Racing FC & Fola Esch draws and ensure they weren't drawn to play at home on the same date we're playing the away leg and likewise if we draw Shkupi check the Vardar and Rabotnicki draws and if any of them are playing at home when we're playing the away leg realise there's a chance our game will be moved like Progres was last season because they can't have all the fixtures in the one small town (same stadium in Luxembourg team's case)

Just so no-one's wasting their cash.

UEFA are such a bunch of out of touch wankers. Wtf is it with these draw pots where they seem to want fans to be able to travel from one end of europe to the other. Why not regionalise the qualifiers. Fuckin numpties

I think it's great tbh - the thought of going to Bosnia or Macedonia to watch Rangers gives me a des oconnor

Have to admit I'd have more of a des if we could draw some club within a financially viable distance so I could be there. I'm not taking several days off work to travel by plane, train, and automobile. Ulster, Wales, or a reasonably nearby continental country would've sufficed.

An Ulster or Welsh club would still have gave me a wee dezzie until the realisation kicked in that I started my travel club again from scratch on zero points and no chance of a Rangers end ticket ?

Slovakia looks like cheapest but that will obv change once draw is made. I'm hoping that I might get couple days off to go. 

The flights out to Bratislava from Edinburgh were at about £160 today ... that used to be a cheapie, regular flights for £40-£50.

@K.A.I You didn't end up going to pre season with Sothdown then? Mad the trips you guys do, anyway we will find out today who we are facing, I am not quite sure if us being drawn to x y and z team puts the price up immediately how has that worked out for you?

Nah I heard today they've organised a couple of closed door games at the Spanish complex for pre-season so doubtful we'll get in but still holding out some hope.

the prices are already quite high regardless who we are playing due to it being peak season across Europe for holidays or the remote nature of the places these wee teams play in. Will have something booked by tomorrow night, we've a few ideas up our sleeves.

Good luck to you both.

They were 58 when I looked last night! But then I looked at 1am. I've been told if you look in the early hours sometimes flight prices are different plus once you start looking at flights over and over the prices always seem to go up. Funny that. We were booked up for Slovakia for a stag in March and the flights were around those prices and started slowly rising, they went up by the time we booked, we didn't want to hang around while they went up more. A couple weeks before we flew again they dropped back down to the original price. Its a joke sometimes.

Meh, if you’re booking straight after the draw and can’t be arsed googling might be a bit of a help.

If you get a deal post it on here after you’ve booked.

Use incognito window (aka porno window) so they can’t track you viewing it.
