Two Games from Europe

We're so close. Would absolutely love to have another season in Europe.

I'm giddy just thinking about it and looking at the groups this year. One team I've got my eye on is Slovan Bratislava, went to Slovakia last year and attended a home game which actually turned out to be a local derby. I'd love to go back and be in the away end.

Other teams in there this year which I'd love for us to play against is Fiorentina, Zagreb, Brugge
 
The problem with this is that IF and it's a massive IF we somehow get past Chelsea, awaiting us in the final will probably be Liverpool. Now, it is not impossible and stranger things have happened but I wouldn't be getting too excited about any European adventures yet.

I think Fulham will be more up for it. Plus no Salah.
 
The 2025 European Conference final is on 28th or 29th May in Wroclaw Poland. Win that we get back into the Europa League 😎
2026 Europa League venue not announced yet, UEFA poor organisation I think means bookings on hold for now.

Venues under consideration:

Germany: Dusseldorf or Frankfurt or Gelsenkirchen or Leipzig or Stuttgart

Romania: Bucharest - National Arena

Scotland: Glasgow - Hampden Park

Turkey: Istanbul - Besiktas or Fenerbahce or Galatasaray
 
Didn't they block 2nd division teams from qualifying?

Not blocked but made it harder. They reduced the chance of lower league teams from qualifying for Europe. At one point if you were beaten in the FA Cup Final, and the winners had already qualified for Europe through the league, the runners up got into the UEFA Cup. But now they've given that spot to 7th place in the Premier League.

I think Millwall may have been the last 2nd tier team to qualify for Europe. They lost the final to Man Utd in 2003.

For lower league teams to qualify now you have to win either of the domestic cups.
