[Albion] ***Europa League Group Stage Draw - Official Thread***

[A1X]

Ajax wear red and white, so guess we're in green for that one. Their second is white and third is black, the white euro kit would make sense for that game

Marseille home kit is white so we'll be in green there too, their away kit is blue so could well be in the white euro kit for that home game.

Athens are in a rather boring yellow combo so we can wear what we like there. Expect the blue and white stripes will play this one?

Hope so. Nice as the European kit is, it would be a shame if the stripes didn't make at least one appearance in the Group stage.

An absolutely BRUTAL but brilliant draw. Champions League quality. Unreal - but real.

From one of my suppliers in Amsterdam: "If you dare to be between ajax fans i can get some tickets"

Suppliers?

 

[Garyoldfan]

Ajax, Marseille and AEK Athens.
Seagulls fans, hit the thumbs to tell us how confident you are.

That’s the draw you want for a first time in Europe let’s mix it with the big boys not play against a carrier bag or serviette

Great group that can't wait

When do we know the fixture dates?

 

[Change at Barnham]

Marseille's stadium has a capacity of 67 000.

 

[nsclurker]

Currently £27 to fly to Amsterdam, and £33 to Athens. Let's see how much they rocket, once the away dates are announced...

Great group. Great destinations but without doubt the hardest group possible from a footballing perspective. Home games will be critical.

Also, this is an unfortunate typo.

Nique ta mere Marseille. Nous viendrons pour vous! Get in brilliant draw- happy days

 

[el punal]

Incredible. How good value was that 3 game package now!

I know, my three match package is only going to cost me £21 per game. You’ve got to just love our club!

 

[Change at Barnham]

Ajax's stadium has a capacity of 55 885.

 

[Right Back]

Superb draw. Like a Champions league group. Big names is what we want and Europa league is so much better than Conference.

 

[Bodian]

Who gives a f*** ?

All those who have just spent £70 on the white shirt I guess!

 

[BevBHA]

can anyone remind me, is it a 5% of capacity away allocation for these games?

 

[Mellotron]

What a great group. I'm terribly envious of any and all of you that get to go to the games. Traveling to watch the Albion in Amsterdam, Marseilles and Athens you lucky, lucky people!

This. Just not come at the right time of life for me. 10 years ago I'd be doing 1-2 of those aways I'd hope.

So happy for all who get to go to these monumental games in our club's history. Will make as many of the home UEL games as I can. Incredible.

Cannot wait.
