There was a digital option, I got my ticket in an email to print, but you should have had that choice at checkout, you should have a confirmation mail of some sorts. It wont be on your season ticket though

 

 

Thanks.

Ideal scenario would be get to the europa league, get 2 cracking ties / away trips from the first 2 pots and then get the worst team possible out of the other pot.

 

would get humped by the 2 good sides but we could potentially nick 3rd spot in the league and then parachute down into the conference league for 2 more games! 
 

Sounds easy!?

No. We’d be in Pot 3 with our own co-Efficient 

By coincedence, 3rd lowest in EL - co-efficient payment of approx 390,000 euros

9th lowest in ECL - co-efficient payment of approx 380,000

Great planning, I did forget that option, EL looks really strong to me. I think the Conf looks a far better option for at this stage of our development, but you have to play to win in the Play Off

For glamour, you want the Europa League, for a chance of winning some games and probably earning more cash, might not be the worst idea to chuck the next 2 games :lol:

 

Not serious of course, but it won't be the worst thing that ever happens to us if we do lose

That's the crazy thing about this whole set up, there can be occasions when there is actually an incentive to lose matches.  Not saying we should or will do this but wouldn't be surprised if it comes to light that some teams actually do this.

yeah a good chance we could take a real doing by some of those teams - but I guess that’s the best thing about this scenario v zurich - it’s a win / win really (even if we loose)

You have more chance of getting points and therefore £££s in the Conference. Not a great enough disparity in cash to incentivise, qualification to EL and almost certain thrashings, for some anyway

Yes. We would take their spot in the list (implying all other teams would remain the same) and we would be in Pot 3.

Would settle for decent venues with chance of decent travelling support in late summer sun. 6 yrs is too long and many will be tying their scarf around the funnel for the first time :)

Always got taught to treat everything as an opportunity, should we show up well against a top grade side in the EL, even once, it will raise the profile. Tough tough ask though, but nevertheless exciting

If it’s about the money, assuming we can pick up more points in the conference group, the big difference is in the TV market pool which is much higher in the EL

 

If it’s about jolly good trips, you’d want the EL but your open to getting a hiding or 3

 

If it’s about progression we’d need 3rd in the EL or 2nd in the conference. Both big asks but I’d marginally favour the EL

Based on the team list I would much rather be in the conference tbh. It would aid our development as squad far more than getting tanked for 6 games on UEL (which even the most blinkered Hearts fan must see as likely) as I reckon we could be competitive in almost all of the possible scenarios. We do, however, have to go out to win the playoff and what will be will be.

Yeah, pretty much what I agree with in an earlier post, I'm not fussy, I don't feel any great desire about these play off games, if we win its a good positive start to the journey, if we lose, there is a level we have a much more realistic level of competition

Disagree.

Yes it will be difficult but ties midweek against top European clubs is mouthwatering.

And I'm not blinkered but we can deliver at home.

Has anyone been in to the TO today and got an away ticket for the game? 
 

They’re not live on e-tickets but I’m heading into the shop this morning, was going to pick one up then.

I prefer the look of the Conference. Some great potential games in there and a slim chance of getting top two (draw dependent).

There is also a 500k solidarity payment if drop into conference league. I would never want us to lose but would be more than happy with the conference league group stage

Surely the money for getting past Zurich and then finishing above Pot 4 team in Europa League to get another tie after Xmas would be really significant? The extra tie would be worth a really significant amont of money (7 figures plus plus) ?

Monaco would be tremendous. Stay in Nice and 20 minutes on the bus into Monaco would be a top trip having visited Nice a number of times before. Not expensive to get there but hefty prices for a pint in the city. As for Monaco I paid 18 euro for a pint having mistaken reading the menu thinking it was 9 euros. Only realised when they brought the bill that was for a half!

We would be the pot 4 team, so would need to overcome a pot 3 team.

Are BBC showing away game ?

Would like to think so, following United but not Hearts would be an embarrassment to them

Apologies, mixed up with competitions. Not so confident of that - at all!

Pot 3 looks strong.

Looking at all the teams pots 1 to 3 there are possible home wins for us.

6 points at home and a back to the wall draw away.

Tall order I know but I'm no into this chat about accepting the conference.

Zurich is a tough hurdle in itself .

Has there been any confirmation on whether Thursdays game will be on any TV channel. Thinking of heading into Edinburgh for the game but unsure who will be showing it?

Suppose it depends. BT/Premier Sports will get first pick. Think BBC showed United because no one else wanted to.

BBC Scotland starts airing at 7pm (kick off is 6pm for the away game) so not sure if that will have some bearing on it.

Well, that's obviously not right; have you contacted the TO?

My understanding is that clubs can sell the tv rights individually to the highest bidder at this stage - it’s not in the BT UEFA contract.
