Europa League draw

[Lancs Harp]

Who did Rangers get?

Oh ........

:flag:

[Green Man]

Flying from Edinburgh?

Yep, out on Wednesday back on Friday.

[Sergio sledge]

Hearts potentially away the first leg, so it must be pretty much certain that we are home first leg.

[bingo70]

We seem to get Scandinavia all the time. :rolleyes:

Elmander and Pukki up front for Brondby, no looking the best.

Pukki was ***** for Celtic (assuming I'm thinking of the right guy.)

Still a very tough tie though

[Delboy4]

So, what's the dates for away tie?

[Pretty Boy]

Yep, out on Wednesday back on Friday.

£86 flying out Easyjet and back Ryanair looked better to me as the flight out is earlier.

[Craig_in_Prague]

So, what's the dates for away tie?

21st July

[Hibs90]

Pukki was ***** for Celtic (assuming I'm thinking of the right guy.)

Still a very tough tie though

They are a good team. We will go in as underdogs!

[MWHIBBIES]

Brondby will skelp us.

I'll be in Budapest sadlyAye, just like Rangers did in the cup final.

[Pretty Boy]

**** me Reykjavik looks expensive for flights. Cheapest I can find is £249. From that angle hope it's Brondby.

[Moulin Yarns]

Own up!! who has been on Brondby's page on Wikipedia??



In spite of this, Brondby are probably most famous for playing against the mighty Hibernian in 2016. Hibernian, who were fresh from a glorious Scottish Cup victory in May had to make do without Anthony Stokes who had moved to Blackburn Rovers but remained "on fire".

[Billy Whizz]

Brondby are 4th in their league, miles behind the leader

[Simkin911]

Didn't take long for some joker to update Brondby's wiki page saying they will probably face 'the mighty Hibernian'! 😄

[pacoluna]

booking my flights for Copenhagen now they will beat valur ( i'm hoping) :greengrin

[Craig_in_Prague]

ooh, Czech airlines fly from Prague to Copenhagen, good times and prices.

'mon the Brondby!

[southern hibby]

If we get past this leg what's the dates for the next leg? Are they a week/ fortnight later?


GGTTH

[Not In The Know]

really tough draw if as expected Brondby get through.

i would have preferred an unknown so we could try and advance as far as possible

[Delboy4]

Own up!! who has been on Brondby's page on Wikipedia??

[OsloHibs]

We seem to get Scandinavia all the time. :rolleyes:

It's the place to be!

Norwegian air do cheapish flights to Denmark from Edinburgh.

[staunchhibby]

What no bus organised lol

[Big_Franck]

You would imagine Brondby will get through the first round so it'll be a great but expensive trip. We spent a couple of nights in Copenhagen after playing Malmo and I remember paying £27 for a round of 3 pints. There was this wee cheap bar called Billy Booze though. By a distance the cheapest place we came across in the city.

[SunshineOnLeith]

Just went on Hotels.com and "137 people are currently looking at hotels in Copenhagen", hi everyone! :greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

so hertz got fc infonet and then some obscure team in the next round....fix

[LancashireHibby]

First concern for me is the dates to make sure I can get the time off work. EasyJet fly direct to both Copenhagen and Rekyjavik from Manchester so hopefully ok on those counts, albeit pricey if I'm going to wait until our definite opponents.

[SJM]

Pukki was ***** for Celtic (assuming I'm thinking of the right guy.)

Still a very tough tie though

True but he still has Sevilla and Wolfsburg on his CV. It's the same guy.

We will need a lot to go our way to proceed. Where as Hearts get a Bosnian mob or a trip to Malta.

[jgl07]

so hertz got fc infonet and then some obscure team in the next round....fix
Because they are seeded.

All a plot by those crooks Platini and Infantano.

[high bee]

Will be one hell of a task. They're players have come from teams like Auxerre, Wolfsburg, Galatasaray, West Brom etc. and have been regulars there.

[Billy Whizz]

booking my flights for Copenhagen now they will beat valur ( i'm hoping) :greengrin

Hibs said they are waiting on confirmation that the 1st leg is at home

[seanshow]

According to wiki Bronby won three rounds of Europa qualifiers last season, before getting slapped 6-1 on agg from PAOK (Greece).

[Cameron1875]

Hope Hibs hurry up and confirm if we are home or away first.

This is giving SkyScanner their chance to £££

[Scooter]

Ex celtic play pukki plays for them

[scoopyboy]

At least they aren't halfway through their season.

Their first League fixture is July 17th.

Big crowd at ER for the first leg.

[livi hibs 1875]

£81.38 return flights do I just book now :cb

[snooky]

Don't understand the fear & apprehension on this thread.
FFS, we are the famous Embra Hibees :flag::flag::flag: :scarf:


:wink:

[MacBean]

did hearts get drawn away first?

[Scooter]

How many round until the groups

[Billy Whizz]

did hearts get drawn away first?

In the 2nd round, yes

[scoopyboy]

Don't understand the fear & apprehension on this thread.

:wink:

Exactly, you gotta be in it to win it.

[CapitalGreen]

How many round until the groups

4 rounds prior to the groups, of which we are in the 2nd.

[SunshineOnLeith]

The draw for the third qualifying round is made between the two legs of our game, get a good result at Easter Road in the first leg and that could be exciting!

Edit: Also, Brondby's coefficient is rubbish so we'll be unseeded in the third round as well when some big hitters start coming in.

[jgl07]

They are nothing like as strong as Malmo if the UEFA rankings are to be believed.

[Moulin Yarns]

You would imagine Brondby will get through the first round so it'll be a great but expensive trip. We spent a couple of nights in Copenhagen after playing Malmo and I remember paying £27 for a round of 3 pints. There was this wee cheap bar called Billy Booze though. By a distance the cheapest place we came across in the city.


The drinks are set at reasonable prices, where among other things you can get a pint for DKK 10 and drinks for DKK 60.


10DKK is about £1.04 :greengrin

[Since90+2]

So is the general feeling we will be away from home on 21st July?

[southsider]

Edinburgh to Copenhagen with EasyJet leave Wed & return Friday 22nd £115 return.

Dubliner pub in town centre apparently owned by a Hibby?!
I've been there loads with Irish mates who live there. Always a good Craic!!

Locals tend to buy ice cold bottles of Carlsberg (really cheap in shops) and drink in streets. Flip bottle tops off with lighters. Ruined my thumb until got hang of it!!!!

[scoopyboy]

So is the general feeling we will be away from home on 21st July?

Checked the draw and the other two Danish teams are at home first so yeah I reckon second leg away.

[MacBean]

So is the general feeling we will be away from home on 21st July?

yes hearts were drew away and we were drawn at home first.

logic would be to keep as is. Hearts away on 14th us away 21st.

Gambling with flights to Copenhagen, feeling it might bite me on the behind, but worth it when only £98. Wouldnt gamble with the £300 to Rejkavik. will do it if necessary.

[dangermouse]

Hibernian have been drawn against the winners of Valur Reykjavic and Brondby IF in the Europa League Second Qualifying Round.

The first leg will be played on Thursday 14 July, with the second leg on Thursday 21 July.

We will confirm further details when we can, including confirmation on whether the first leg is at home or away.

No decision on if we are home or away first

[Smartie]

At least they aren't halfway through their season.

Their first League fixture is July 17th.

Big crowd at ER for the first leg.

I didn't realise this - and it makes a big difference.

I always groan when we get a Scandinavian side because they're fit and mid-season whilst we're just back off the beach.

We should be in decent shape by the time the game comes round.

If we're at home first, get a decent result at ER then who knows…….

[Albanian Hibs]

Get back into edin at 23.55 on the wed night. Hmmm do i pack a wee bag and stay in airport for flight out to copenhagen in morning???? Sure my mum would appreciate another 2 days with the kids after spending a week in spain with them 😂😂😂

[lugz]

Brondby haven't won a trophy since 2008, we'll make light work of them.:greengrin

[Don Giovanni]

The draw for the third qualifying round is made between the two legs of our game, get a good result at Easter Road in the first leg and that could be exciting!

Edit: Also, Brondby's coefficient is rubbish so we'll be unseeded in the third round as well when some big hitters start coming in.

I haven't looked but I'd guess that Brondby's coefficient is significantly better than ours?

In fact Valur Rekyavik's UEFA points might be better too!

:greengrin:

[SJM]

I haven't looked but I'd guess that Brondby's coefficient is significantly better than ours?

Chancing it and booking Copenhagen tonight

[Albanian Hibs]

Easyjet prices have increased in last half hour. Now over £200 for thurs morning departure coming back following day.

[Green Man]

Prices on both Easyjey and Ryanair are cranking up. If you're gonna book do it quick :aok:

[Albanian Hibs]

Norwegian also close to £200 for thurs to fri

[Andy74]

Prices on both Easyjey and Ryanair are cranking up. If you're gonna book do it quick :aok:

The sites run on enquiries as well as bookings - if folk keep looking it will keep going up!

[Since90+2]

A tip for anyone potentially booking flights is you can cancel and get a refund , minus a small admin fee , up to 24 hours after purchase with Easyet. Hopefully by this time tomorrow we will have confirmation if its on 21st July.

[Peevemor]

The sites run on enquiries as well as bookings - if folk keep looking it will keep going up!

Exactly. And clear your cookies before you book, it can save you money. :agree:

[Finn2015]

Didn't want a Scandinavian side tbh but thems the breaks I guess

[Radge70]

Just a heads up - there are clearly lots of people taking the gamble on Copenhagen for the 21st as I checked out all flight possibilities then went back 5 minutes later to book this and the flights were £60 more expensive. Went for it anyway and the hope now is we get Reykjavik away the week before - oops a daisy, sorry love it would be daft to waste the flights...........

Locals wouldn't touch Carlsberg with a bargepole, Tuborg is the way to go. Just make sure you buy it at home first :greengrin

[pacoluna]

so hertz got fc infonet and then some obscure team in the next round....fix
Infonet beat amateur side Virtsu (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Virtsu_JK&action=edit&redlink=1) 36–0 in a 2015–16 Estonian Cup (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E2%80%9316_Estonian_Cup) match, equalling Arbroath's (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbroath_F.C.) 130 year old record (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbroath_36%E2%80%930_Bon_Accord) for the largest margin of victory.

Random Wiki fact for you

[Finn2015]

Says on official site they don't know yet which leg will be home or away ffs

I thought the same when we drew Malmo. But, hey, you know what thought did ????

[neil7908]

Never travelled abroad to watch Hibs before but really keen to do it this year if I can. I'm not a season ticket holder so interested to know thoughts on my chances of actually getting 2 tickets for the away leg? I appreciate it'll depend on who we play and how big there ground is but will tickets be offered like for cup finals i.e. Season ticket holders first and then by points?

you'll get them fine.

[norwayhibs]

Guys, just to let you know, Billund in central denmark is a cheaper option than flying into copenhagen. Fly in to billund and catch a train to C.hagen. Dont know how much the train costs are but just checked ryan air , London to billund return.....£ 85 :aok:

[R'Albin]

For anyone taking the risk of buying tickets just now you'll probably get decent odds on the Icelandic team. Could cover losses with that.

[JimBHibees]

Pukki was ***** for Celtic (assuming I'm thinking of the right guy.)

Still a very tough tie though

Also Daniel Agger ex Liverpool.

[Craig_HFC]

Also Daniel Agger ex Liverpool.

He's retired now.

I think Agger retired at the end of last season.

You cant fly to Billund from Edinburgh were about 99% of our fan base is.

[Andy74]

Gone for it, what the hell. At least the hotel is refundable. Flights a bit more of an issue if the Icelandic team win!

Edit: Did anyone watch The Bridge? Could be our latest two European games have been either end of it.

[Leithenhibby]

[norwayhibs]

I realise that:aok:, but there must be a chance of a cheap flight from Edinburgh to London which can connect with the billund flight and still be cheaper than the prices I have seen quoted for Edinburgh - copenhagen.

[burtis97]

I know hibs are waiting for confirmation for the away leg date but surely with us getting drawn at home first this is just a formality that we will be away second leg?

Where are you staying in Copenhagen

[Andy74]

Where are you staying in Copenhagen

Hotel Windsor through booking.com.

Is this so you can avoid me? 😀

[norwayhibs]

What's the train time

Between 3-4 hours

[Dunbar Hibee]

So what's the cheapest flight? Looking to fly out Wednesday and back on the Friday.

[Pretty Boy]

I can do BA London to Copenhagen business class for £25 using Avios. Might look at that as even adding in a flight to London would probably be cheaper than some of the budget airline prices coming up now.

[Billy Whizz]

Hotel Windsor through booking.com.

Is this so you can avoid me? 😀

Of course not, just want to be where most Hibees will stay.
Is this a central hotel?

[KWJ]

Damn. Fly back to Scotland on 21st July, considered doing it via Iceland too!

From a totally selfish point of view, I hope we are away first!

[Andy74]

Of course not, just want to be where most Hibees will stay.
Is this a central hotel?

Looks it. Just got it done quickly and it was fully refundable. Having a look again in case any better deals. Windsor looks basic and shared bathrooms but not expecting to spend much time in it!

[hibee_girl]

Not read all the thread so sorry if it's been mentioned but why don't we know if we're home or away in the 1st leg?

Any other teams from these cities playing at home on the same night?
I know you like doing a bit of forensic investigating Crops😄

[MacBean]

two maltese teams drawn at home in first ties (one of which is the Hertz opponents) if they get past their respective first round ties. Can't see both getting through as one of them are playing a Azerbaijani team that got to the group stages last season.

Pretty sure another Icelandic team was in the draw, though. And, if I read the earlier post correctly, it doesn't even have to be in the same city. Think there's a radius of x miles that has to be taken into account.

I have booked flights and Hotel now

Flights £176 leaving 3.00pm from Edinburgh, coming back leaving Copenhagen @ 10.00pm (Flights Wednesday to Friday) (Norwegian and Ryanair)

Hotel wise Richmond Hotel, decent location 10mins from central station and pretty close to bars etc., and @ £95 for two nights seems good especially for Scandinavia

Now lets just hope that Brondby do the business against Valur !!!

Just in terms of bars is the Dubliner worth popping into??

The Only reason the hotel for Myself was £95 is because for now anyway im travelling alone, However I shall maybe pop into you during our time there

[HibbyAndy]

Are Aberdeen in the same round as us ? Saw their draw and on paper looks a helluva lot easier than who we got, And how come Hearts haven't been drawn yet considering they are in the round before us ?

[zlatan]

Ahhh, meant to lock in the £29 price from Copenhagen to Edinburgh when I seen it immediately after the draw.

Gonna extend my eurotrip holiday by a few days for this. Supposed to fly back from Seville on the 18th but now flying to Amsterdam before moving on to Copenhagen and returning on Friday.

[Dashing Bob S]

Anybody know if there's an Irish pub in Copenhagen and is it is as good as the ones in Maribor, Gothenburg and Dnipro?

I'm determined to experience as much of Europe as is possible on these trips.

[St Pauli Hibee]

Hearts have been Drawn for both round's 1 & 2

Round 1-- FC Infonet Tallinn

Round 2-- NK Siroki Brijeg of Bosnia or Birkirkara of Malta

Irish Pubs in Copenhagen:

Globe Irish Pub
The Shamrock Inn
The Irish Rover
Kennedy's Irish Bar
The Dubliner

Personally the Dubliner will be the one I shall be headed to, hope this helps

Hibs in Round 2

Purely based on the coefficient it would appear they have a much easier route to round 3 than us.

[HibbyAndy]

Some of their fans booked Tallinn for next week....Not a happy bunch.

Nae luck puddle drinkers

Who's all chanced it and booked up Copenhagen?

We fly at quarter to 7 on the Wednesday, back Friday teatime.

Does no one else think the Icelandic team will win :confused:

[Leith Green]

So basically we are drawn at home first and hearts (if they progress) are away first. And if its down to co-efficient then we are home first and hearts away first..

Looks a stick on to me that we are away 2nd leg. Hope so cos i booked up at 3pm today .. 😁

Ryanair flight out? Mines is half ten back on the friday though...

[KWJ]

I stayed at the generator hostel in Copenhagen. It was really decent for a well priced private room and had a decent bar within.

There's a Scottish bar down by the water and very central too but the Dubliner did seem the best for the football.

I stayed somewhere else too that was like a private hostel/b&b a little further outside the centre. Can't mind what it was called though, found it easy enough with a search of accommodation.

[bingo70]

No chance

Icelandic football seems to be in a pretty healthy state just now, I've no idea what the league is like but you'd think there must be some corolation to the amount of good players they're bringing through?

Aye mate. That was our original plan for a flight home then it disappeared by the time we all confirmed. 220 quid.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Irish Pubs in Copenhagen:

Globe Irish Pub
The Shamrock Inn
The Irish Rover
Kennedy's Irish Bar
The Dubliner

Personally the Dubliner will be the one I shall be headed to, hope this helps

I think DBS was being a tad sarcastic.

To be fair i'm only basing my opinion on Brondby, They are certainly a household name through out Europe i remember a while back but then again maybe they aren't of the standard they used to be ? Totally understand your point though Bingo and its a valid one.

There was about 800 of us if i remember correctly. I remember the walk to the ground was an effin nightmare. Seemed to just keep walking for miles, was done in by the time we got there. Also remember seeing Petrie outside 😁

Brondby's average gate is about 15k, so they are not much bigger than us. This is a winnable tie.

With flight prices to Copenhagen already mid 200s no real cost advantage now chancing it so it's circa £250 to either Iceland or Denmark.
I'll probably wait til after their 1st leg before looking again.
We went to Copenhagen via Gatwick last time so I've no issues doing a 1 stop there but like last time prefer a direct return.
Copenhagen is a fantastic City & def preferable from me

[ben johnson]

44 years of nonsense with Hibs. It's turned and the Cup win means the gods are with us at last. Positive thinking will see us in Copenhagen.

[Pretty Boy]

I'm just going to sit it out and book last minute.

Flight prices have gone mental so no real advantage to booking early. Will look at both Glasgow and London, the latter of which opens up the option of using some of my Avios. Hotel wise I'm not fussy, happy to use a hostel or whatever if required.

[Bayern Bru]

They will play at the national stadium as seems to be the custom in most of the smaller countries.

Yeah, if it was Valur, tie is likely to be played at Fram's ground the Laugardalsvöllur Stadium.

15,000 capacity in total.

[YehButNoBut]

Don't know what price the Icelanders will be to qualify for the next round but put enough on them to at least cover the cost of the flights (hotels you can usually cancel FOC) then you're sorted. :aok:

[Brøndbyfan]

I realise that:aok:, but there must be a chance of a cheap flight from Edinburgh to London which can connect with the billund flight and still be cheaper than the prices I have seen quoted for Edinburgh - copenhagen.
I would strongly recommend against this. First of all the train ticket will be 30-40 quid, and secondly Billund Airport is placed in the middle of nowhere without proper connection to the train. You'd have to take a taxi or a bus to nearby town, Vejle, and connect with train there. Taxi is easily another 20-30 quid. Then the train ride of about 3 hours to Copenhagen central station.

To the one wondering about tickets: Brøndby's away section is about 800 seats. I don't imagine you'd need more tickets than that, but if you do, I'm sure the club would just give you the whole end stand for a total of 5-6000.

I hope we see each other in July!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers!

[Pretty Boy]

My current plan is as follows:

Wednesday 20th - Megabus Edinburgh to London depart 11am £3

Thursday 21st Heathrow Express - £14.30

Thursday 21st - London to Copenhagen depart 0750

Friday 22nd Copenhagen to London depart 1320

13000 Avios plus £90 for return business class

welcome to .net, Brondby will beat Valur, do you think?

Many of us have booked for Copenhagen and are looking forward to the trip. Connecting flights to Iceland are rather expensive so let's hope the yellow and blue come out on top.

Think the Icelandic league is still running but Danish don't start until mid July? Maybe will tip in Icelanders favour? Still fancy Brondby though. Lots more ways to get to Copenhagen and beer cheaper!

Hello and welcome

Just gonna answer you all in this response:

The average ticket is about 10-12 quid. I imagine at this early stage in the tournament, it would be the same for you, if we go through (no jinx here).

Regarding our chances against Valour:
It hard to say too much about the strength of Brøndby right now. We let a lot of players go after the end of last season (we play July - May in Denmark in contrast to our Scandinavian neighbours). Among the players let go was Agger and Elmander who you might know, but also 5-6 other players. We also hired a new coach, former Stuttgart and RB Leipzig coach, Alexander Zorniger (German). He is trying to implement the high pressing kind of play known from Leverkusen and the Red Bull clubs, but we have yet to see, if he will go all in with this system at once or do it more slowly. In short, even I don't really know the current strength of Brøndby. I'm quite hopeful of our new German with his very German mentality towards training, though.
That being said, Valour is a way smaller club than Brøndby and at least on paper our squad is way better. I would put us at about 80% chance of going through. The only reason it's not higher is due to the aforementioned changes.

Regarding tickets:
In the league our away section is without seats and then can be expanded to another seated one, but Uefa won't allow a standing section. I'm not quite sure how they will do it this year, as we just removed the seats recently after having them thrown around every time our local rivals visit us. I'd say it should be possible to just give you the whole end stand, as there isn't usually too many Brøndby fans at home for these early rounds so there should be plenty of space.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Where in Copenhagen should people be heading for cheapish pints?

[Glory Lurker]

Where in Copenhagen should people be heading for cheapish pints?

Hull.

[Brøndbyfan]

Where in Copenhagen should people be heading for cheapish pints?
I would stay away from the pedestrianized street, which is where most of the irish pubs are placed, if you want cheap beers. In general though, if the weather is nice, most people buy their drinks in the shops (you can get 33 cl pilsners for as little as 30 pence, and 60 for a brand like Carlsberg or Tuborg) and head for a park or likewise and have their drinks there. The police don't mind, as long as you behave. At a bar you'd easily pay 4-5 quid for a pint in the inner city.

Beware that Brøndby is a suburb placed 7 miles away from the inner city, so you'd have to take the local train to get there and then a small walk of a mile or so. There aren't many pubs around in Brøndby though, so better come and leave right before and after the game (still no jinx here).

With the relatively easy access and a (I presume) friendly destination I'd assume 700 or so. Could be a lot more though if people get excited about the first few matches with the new manager. About 4000 Brøndby fans went to Berlin a few years ago. In general the Brøndby fans can be quite colourful compared to UK fan culture with flares and tifos, but there probably won't be too much of that so early in the tournament. A lot of flares though.

Valur 15/2, draw 7/2, Brondby 3/10

[jgl07]

It's an awesome draw for Hibs. Brondby are a great team with Champion's League and European Cup heritage. It is in one of my favourite Cities.

I would love to go but my pesky daughter has decided to get married the day before the match.

The Admiral on the Copenhagen waterfront is one of my favourite hotels of all time. Drat!

[NAE NOOKIE]

This is the first time I would have had the chance to follow Hibs to an away tie in Europe without the problem of trying to get off work. Just my luck that we have the option of one out of two of the most expensive cities in the universe ..... Anywhere in eastern Europe would have been fine, but I just cant justify the expense of Reykjavik or Copenhagen ..... also the two folk I can think of who would have went with me wouldn't be keen on the expense side either.

I therefor demand that Hibs dispose of which ever side they end up playing in short order so that I get a shot at a cheaper destination like Poland or Hungary ..... over to you Hibees :greengrin

[hibee_nation]

I will miss the away leg as I'll be in Co. KERRY near Tralee on the upside i should be able to find an Irish pub no problem 😀

[lucky]

It's not that expensive. 4* Hotels for around £60 a night based two sharing. Very cheap flights from London or Manchester. So a two night trip flying from down south for around £200 decent value to me. It's also £4/5 a pint, again we pay that up town in Edinburgh and virtually everywhere in London

You will find Edinburgh a welcoming city and I hope we see a good number here in your support. However you will find that the use of flares is not permitted in Scotland. Best to encourage fans to leave them at home and just have a great time here

I can't see that they will? Brondby/Rejkyavik are seeded, as will Hearts be if they qualify, so both would expect home leg second.

You're a brave man. My idea of hell, being stuck in a bus for 9 hours these days.

In my student days, not a problem. Now - within reason - I adopt the "pay for what you get" principle and am happy to take the train/plane.

Copenhagen especially would be a great trip, but Reykjavik is also class.

[Bobby's Cinema]

My current plan is as follows:

Wednesday 20th - Megabus Edinburgh to London depart 11am £3

Thursday 21st Heathrow Express - £14.30

Thursday 21st - London to Copenhagen depart 0750

Friday 22nd Copenhagen to London depart 1320

13000 Avios plus £90 for return business class

Friday 22nd Megabus London to Edinburgh depart 1800 £7

Total - £114.30
Is London to Copenhagen a flight? The bus gets in at 0730 from what I can see, a 20minute window?

Bus departs at 11am on Wed 30th, flight is the following day. That'll be a hell of an M25 traffic jam to cause PB an issue :greengrin

Planning on the 11am bus as opposed to the overnight. Few pints, casino pit stop then 0545 Heathrow Express.

All this is dependent on my boss giving me the days off of course.

Ah 11am! There is also an 11pm Wednesday night from EDI. I was wondering how fast this Heathrow express could go.

Not this time but I have done it before. Booked a double berth to myself as I'd heard some stories!

I was meaning the megabus gold sleeper bus, it was like kipping down in a coffin, not sure if its been updated since then.

[Leith Green]

I can't see that they will? Brondby/Rejkyavik are seeded, as will Hearts be if they qualify, so both would expect home leg second.



So is it based on the seedings rather than who was drawn first? Im pretty sure either way would have us playing away in the 2nd leg .. Can never be sure until its confirmed though .. Gonna hold off booking accomodation until its confirmed 😉

[GreenLake]

Oh, I wasn't trying to start a debate about flares at football, just to give some insight to Copenhagen and what to be expected. I'm not gonna bring them, but I know others probably will and I'm in no position to change that.

Good to hear Edinburgh is a friendly city. I've only experienced Glasgow and the countryside of Scotland, so this will be a great opportunity to see your capital :)

Is it too early for Christmas beer in Copenhagen? :greengrin

[Hibrandenburg]

Will we need visas by then?

:wink:

[Green Man]

The seedings don't have any effect on who plays at home first. The team drawn first plays the first leg at home, but some ties may be reversed if there are two local teams due to play at home on the same day.

Love Copenhagen. Superb city!

Just got my time off approved so i'm now buzzing!

Just make sure you beat Valur!

Yams away leg now moved to the Wednesday

Hope too many of them haven't booked yet...

[Andy74]

Come on Hibs, clock ticking for flight cancellations!

[Finn2015]

I'm at work, still no confirmation about legs being hame or away?

[Leithenhibby]

What may be to the advantage of Valur, is their season has already started!!... Brondby, don't kick off until 17th July.

I think the delay is the possibility of playing Valur, as there is another team from Reykjavik in the draw, both drawn at home if they make it through.

My guess is that here will be no change if it's Brondby.

So you think they may wait until after the 1st round game has been decided?

[Blaster]

Why

BBC site doesn't say much other than its the second change in the tie

Shame

Booked flights for Copenhagen £95 return. So it's worth the gamble

No chance IMHO. Announcement should be made today.

Where's that flying from?

[GreenArmyyy!]

I'm starting to panic now.... booked Thursday morning to Friday evening yesterday but now people talking about the game being moved to Wednesday.....

[lucky]

Out from Gatwick & back to Luton

[Moulin Yarns]

Chance of 3 clubs in Tallin all playing at home on the same day I think

[.Sean.]

So should I start panicking about the game being moved yet??

[SteveHFC]

Some of them have booked and won't be able to get refunds. :na na:

[ben johnson]

Crusaders are playing in Copenhagen 19 / 20th so their game may stop ours being put back a day if they plump for the 20th to play their CL qualifier. Just have to hope for a Brondby win over the Icelanders.
