And, depending on whether we get drawn against a team that goes directly into the 3Q round or a 2Q round winner, we could well only get an either/or draw, and only find out our confirmed opposition on July 21st when the 2nd leg of the 2Q round takes place.

Don't teams in european competition also have to have a 'panel/plain back' for names/numbers?
Will the club/adidas do a 'special version' of the new away kit - or will we use this season's away kit if needed in Europe.
Also - we were promised stripes on the back of the home top - will this be changed or will there be 2 versions?
I recall Blackburn having a euopean kit that was the same as their PL kit, but with a plain back instead of half/half.

Adidas making a special Euro kit for little Stoke!?!? According to the terms of the deal we'll get a choice of 2 home kits after Telford and Worksop town have had their pick. As long as North Ferriby are happy with the remainder. Otherwise we have to swap with them.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_UEFA_Europa_LeagueJust been looking into next season's Europa. Link above to already qualified teams together with format etc. Getting excited now, loads of teams I've never heard of playing in crap stadiums in towns I've never heard of. Exactly what it should be about! In short, here's who has qualified so far in our round... Mainz 05 (Ger) Locomotiv Moscow (Rus) Karpaty Lviv (Ukr) Braga (Por) - or Vitor Guimares if Braga win this week's final AZ (Hol) Anderlecht (Bel) Celtic (Sco) Hapoel Tel Aviv (Isr) Stromsgodset (Norway - shitty little ground) Slovan Bratislava (Svk) Helisingborg (Swe) Partizan Belgrade (Srb) Legia Warsaw (Pol) Plus another 17 places to be decided, and 40 winners from 2nd qualifying round (participants include Hearts, Nacional (Portugal) and a littering of smaller Irish and Welsh! Suggest you take a look and explore some of the grounds we could be visiting. A perfect post Wembley tonic!

Celtic anyone? Battle of Britain? Anyone but Celtic, please... To be fair to Block 19, I haven't heard them singing "Fuck the Pope and the IRA" for a while, but think of all the classics that could potentially get an airing... Billy Boys... Famine Song... No Pope of Rome... Bobby Sands... Build My Gallows... The Sash My Father Wore... I'm not saying that would definitely happen, and I'm not saying it would neccessarily be B19, but some knobheads are bound to get leathered and think it's big and clever and get the shit knocked through them.

I quite fancy Tel Aviv myself. Don't really know why, I just do Anywhere but Israel. Went to Israel following England a few years back. Incredible country, so much history and not at all like you'd expect. Would quite happily go back on holiday. Personally I'd like a trip to Iceland.
