Cheapest flight to Minsk (closest airport to Bate Borisov) in September is already about £1500 and only via Dubai it seems :laugh:
I had a look at getting to Astana and quickly gave up on the idea. Minsk would be a doddle - cheap flight from Ryanair to Vilnius and then a train.

I'll explain it to you in BHA terms:

Beating Southampton was like the final whistle v Wigan when all invaded the pitch celebrating promotion;
Getting a point v City was like when Huddersfield drew with Derby a couple of hours later and we all celebrated again.
Yes, I remember running folk ran back onto the pitch after the Huddersfield result.

Apologies if this has been answered on one of the other threads, but how come most clubs have nice round numbers but ours goes to 3 decimal places??
I think ours is the England club coefficient because we don’t have our own Europe coefficient (having never qualified) - we’ll continue to be measured by that until our own coefficient is higher.

I said that it was a doddle but on checking times, it takes five hours to get from Vilnius to Minsk - it's a little over 100 miles, They stopping for a cuppa along the way?

Latest projection


One question on this grid I keep seeing, which is brilliant btw….BUT

I thought loads of smaller nations have a stab at champions league qualification first and then drop to the Europa league if they lose? So there’s tonnes of unknowns still. Also scandanavian countries have summer leagues so haven’t they been decided already?

Virtually all of these are projections, based on current positions or club rankings; they could all be wrong.

For example, I'm certainly not convinced about Monaco, they are currently in qualifying position but they have tougher final games than Lille, who I think may sneak it ( as could Rennes)
