Someone posted the dates for the Europa League and Conference League qualifiers on a thread earlier this week. I can’t find it, can anyone help?
I read tonight that UEFA might make the qualifiers ‘regional’ in response to all things Covid, we might actually get the chance of a trip with a bit of luck (not posting that last bit to start a conversation on whether or not we will get into a stadium, plenty chat about that on the HG thread).
First qualifying round: 8 & 15 July
Second qualifying round: 22 & 29 July
Third qualifying round: 5 & 12 August
Play-offs: 19 & 26 August
Group stage: 16 & 30 September, 21 October, 4 & 25 November, 9 December
Knockout round play-offs: 17 & 24 February
Round of 16: 10 & 17 March
Quarter-finals: 7 & 14 April
Semi-finals: 28 April & 5 May
Final: 25 May (National Arena, Tirana)
This is handy, booked the week off for 25 may 2022Quote:

When is the 21/22 league season lined up to start? Would be nice to have a game or two under our belts before any potential play off.
IF we get 3rd, what stage would we join the competition?Quote:

It would also encourage Ron Gordon that his investment is moving forward at a pace and has justified the outlay.
One thing though, I wouldn’t imagine anyone needs to worry about finding their passport. Foreign holiday travel has been identified as a major factor in the rise of Covid numbers. I recently heard radio discussion about enforced quarantine, in a hotel and at one’s own expense, on people’s return. I think we can forget about watching Hibs abroad and in person this year.
Just checked sfa website. 1st and 2nd enter champions league. Cup winner enters europa league 3rd qualifying round unless one of the top 2 win the cup, then 3rd in league takes that place. Next 2 places in league goes into the europa conference league 2nd qualifying round...i think.
On the radio they mentioned 3rd place if the uefa spot is guaranteed euro football until after Christmas, how’s that?Quote:

Traditionally the summer transfer window opens very near to the end of July.
If we are to bring in new faces or lose existing players the club will need to be quick out of the blocks with transfer business to bed-in and get ready for European games on top of normal football matches.
Is it the case it opens that late? Would that not mean it's impossible to sign players in advance of the earlier rounds? I was under the impression it opened quite a bit earlier in the summer and, with the longer run in for a EL playoff, we'd have an unusually decent amount of time to bed in new players if we manage to get 3rd.Quote:

The transfer window usually opens in mid JuneQuote:
