The likes of Cork City would be a bit more 'spicy'. Then a week trip to The Netherlands or somewhere hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I used to LOVE reading through the Bert Kassie pages back in the day. Will be good to have a reason to visit the site again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Devil 350 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 With a kind draw, we should be aiming for the group stages. Aberdeen have been close, and I expect us to be significantly better than them by next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC10 1,449 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 10 days between the draw and first leg? Pretty shite on the fans having to organise it in such a short space of time. Can understand if it's that timeframe for latter rounds of qualifying but surely they can do the first round draw earlier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGOH 2,344 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I am fucking choking for a Euro away. Only been to one, excluding Manchester, Bremen. Thousands of bears descending on a little city that has a max population of about 1000 people, what else could you want. No doubt someone will find a way of hiring out a hall and finding an Eastern European lodge with a band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz52 11,837 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Look at the likes of Dundalk, getting there won't be impossible although highly unlikely. It's an excuse for our amazing support to take over another city or two as well. We get money for playing in it. It can only be looked at as a positive IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we somehow manage to get to the group stages, it'd feel like Champions League nights at Ibrox rather than Europa, the place would be bouncing. I'm not optimistic but you never know.

Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 My boy has never seen us in europe other than on tv so he is looking forward to it. I dont expect it will be a very long adventure so we shouldnt need to worry about fixture congestion! Big bonus is we dont need to play that wee diddy league cup group thingy this year either Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
