Celtic at Home will be tasty

What like Hibs was tasty?

It will be the same as category A for league I would have thought. Will be pissed off if it's any more but perhaps that wouldn't be a surprise.

Not happy with the draw. Wanted some amazing away games and we've got 4 absolutely shit ones. Small shitty grounds in crappy places. Bruges is a nice town but meh.

Really wanted a headline away game. At least one.

Oh well, the home games are good at least.

I liked Bern..

I'm looking forward to visiting the Large Hadron Collider there.

I’m guessing a 4 match pack for £200 for my seat WL upper.

Bit of a difference between Hibs in the Conference and Celtic in the CL. Especially given some of our more 'exciteable' fans are strongly in the JFT21 group.

Im working on the basis of 100 per game - maybe a package that brings it down slightly

Those who wanted more `glamorous` away games rather than more winnable games is a bit like when non league teams understandably want Man U away in the 3rd round of the Cup.
We are in this as serious contenders, not for a bit of glamour and reflected glory.
If we don't win it (at least not this season maybe) we are there to finish as high as we can in this league, qualify and goes as deep in the tournament as possible.

Fantastic games at the Villa but very disappointed we didn’t get 1 decent away game.

Approximate away allocations based on 5%

Leipzig 2,300
Brugge 1,450
YB 1,600
Monaco 800

Thanks. I think I just realised I’m unlikely to get any, ST who did Lille & Ajax which obviously had much bigger allocations, can anyone guesstimate how many are likely to have done more euro aways to be in higher categories? I fancied Bruges but I guess so would everyone. I wouldn’t go without a Villa ticket.

I think it's a good mix of glamour ties and winnable ties.

I liked Bern.. and Monaco sure seems nice.

Soulless places. I wanted a Madrid, Munich, Milan type away game to fly over for. Tiny grounds with zero chance of a ticket in either end. Oh well, have to wait for the knockouts.

Milan isn't great tbh, although I would have loved to have got AC.

You moan at everything.

I do not moan at everything that's utter bollocks. Am I not entitled to have preferred away games or are you the thought police?

Bit weird.

There'll no doubt be something, somewhere interesting in the next round. Besides, I thought the plan was to be in Europe every season?

Main thing is finishing top 24 and we should do that with the draw we've had.

Had a look at the Bayern fans forum to see what they think of the draw.

So we're playing at home to PSG, away to Barcelona, at home to Benfica, away to Shakhtar, home to Dinamo Zagreb, away to Feyenoord, home to Bratislava and away to Aston Villa.
