East Enclosure Row N 2,799 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Playoff round fixture dates are 22nd & 29th Aug, has anything been decided if we are home or away first leg if we are fortunate enough to get through against FC Midtjylland?

Prso's headband 34,990 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 3rd and 4th round draws are rarely reversed as you get rid of teams from smaller countries who share grounds. The only problem would’ve been if they got put out the CL and dropped into the EL and were also drawn away first. They’re not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC55 107,782 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Only way this can change is if it's the Greek team as Athens are due at home the same night if they go through East Enclosure Row N 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic8ball 27,840 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hope the tarriers get pumped off Cluj so they are also playing Thursday if we get through. Would be just the thing if they had a home tie on Wednesday and we were away Thursday Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as it stands it's legia/atromitos away for us or FCM Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atromitos are playing Legia at home next Wed and AEK and Aris are at home on the Thursday. Surprised at that as I thought highest coefficient got privilege unless Legia were happy to play a day early. Aris play in Thessaloniki, so their game will have no impact on any games played in Athens. Plus Athens is huge and there are often two or three teams playing the same day in the league. Olympiacos seem to have the big support (based in Pareaus, but in reality this is in Athens), then AEK, then Pana and both Atromitos and Panianios are pretty small clubs with fairly ramshackle grounds. Used to go to see Panianios when working in Athens and the ground is the standard of Cowdenbeath or Albion Rovers. Panathinaikos is a crumbling wreck and AEK is a vast stadium that the fans don't come close to filling. No idea if Atromitos would try to move the game if they got us but assume not - plus I'm fairly sure Legia will do them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
