Anyone booked anything yet? I booked Glasgow to Bucharest via Charleroi for ?47 just after the draw. Can get from there to Pristina if need be on the Thursday morning or sack the ?47 i've paid and fly to Skopje cheap enough then 2 hour bus from there for 8 euros to Pristina. Have a couple of routes home from both places but not booked any of them yet. Plenty of options for Bucharest from all sorts of places. Sofia might be a good shout also as it is almost equidistant from Bucharest and Pristina.

If Drita win is the game being played in Pristina? Their home ground is a fair bit away from there as considered both options.

Flying from Aberdeen to Bucharest is expensive as usual unless you want to take chances with some mix of lower cost airlines and getting there in the middle of the night.
Had one option that wasn?t too bad but would need paid up front and current score is 2-2 after Drita being up 2-0 so may wait and see. If becomes too much of a pain, may wait until group stages and go to at least one game

The Romanian Sevco ended up winning 3-2 with a 94th minute penalty. Sounds like the real Sevco.

Aye Min !! I`ve been swithering on bookings too. Tie is too tight to take a guess ?

Bucharest is easy from down here . Direct via LBA.

But the Drita ground . Same as you , I looked at Skopje , and finding thon Taxi Gaggie to drive us up there again !!

Think I`ll just wait till next week to see who actually wins. Reckon it`ll cost anoother £100 by then ?

Keep in touch ?

FCSB will have the honour of facing the Dons in the next round. Ties to be played next Thursday and the Thursday after.

I think it's cancelled now.

Advancing further in Europe than TSMSTID without having kicked a ball, is quite pleasing.

Still, the Forfarshire Cup?

[Br0chred]

Surprised they got past the Luxembourgians, given how they have sh*t the bed against everyone they have played against for the past 30 years

No, it?s full steam ahead- they like celebrating failure

All sorted. See you in Bucharest on the Wednesday. I'm £284 return for flights and digs. Wednesday and Thursday in Bucharest and Friday night in Budapest.

[GASC1980]

Plenty cheap flights circa 20 quid out from Stansted or Luton on the Wednesday morning. Fill your boots guys. Still cheap routes back via Budapest, Naples and Bergamo on the Friday if you need back home then.

The draw is today at 1245 hours. We are in pot 4 of 6.

Looking at the teams involved, there's a few of our old foes in there.

[swaddon2]

Aberdeen are at home to Shakhtar Donetsk, Strasbourg and Noah - and visit Sparta Prague, AEK Athens and AEK Larnaca.
