With the draw merely 2 days away, I thought I'd start a thread for all the chat of the 1st Qualifying Round. There's been quite a bit to get depressed about regarding MFC at the moment, what with not having a manager, players allegedly being sold etc, but personally, I'm excited as fuck about our European tour! What with us being seeded, I estimate we'll get to the 3rd Qualifying Round as a minimum. Anything better than that I'd see as a massive financial boost for the club.
The list of teams we can get are as follows....
Renova - Macedonia
Inter Baku - Azerbaijan
Simurq Zaqatala - Azerbaijan
Trans - Estonia
Kalju - Estonia
Vllaznia - Albania
Dinamo Tirana - Albania
Irtysh - Kazakhstan
Okzhetpes - Kazakhstan
Mika Yerevan - Armenia
Banants - Yerevan - Armenia
Llanelli - Wales
The New Saints - Wales
Linfield - Northern Ireland
Lisburn Distillery - Northern Ireland
B36 Tórshavn - Faroe Islands
NSÍ Runavík - Faroe Islands
UN Kaerjeng 97 - Luxembourg
CS Grevenmacher - Luxembourg
Buducnost - Montenegro
Sutjeska Niksic - Montenegro
Valletta - Malta
Birkirkara - Malta
As you can see, some downright horrible destinations, along with a few mouth watering and a few 'maybes'.
Can't wait 'til the draw, Monday's gonna be a hectic day!
