They've changed the rules for this season England has got two teams going straight into the group stage. So if Arsenal were to win the Europa League we'd go straight into the group stage.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sat Apr 07, 2018 11:38 pm

7th placed team enters at 2nd qualifying round, unless Arsenal win it this season then it would get us straight into the group stage.

Prediction: If we get drawn against the Young Boys, whoever is still a Rovers fan will have a laugh.

Without doubt.

Spare a thought for poor Ringo. He has spend his life trying to get out of Europe.

He’ll be furious with Dyche.

I honestly think if we got someone like Ajax we'd take 10 thousand.

WRONG.

I've spent my life following Burnley Football Club.

To see them play in Europe with Sean Dyche at the helm would be a dream come true.

Europe, it's people's, it's traditions, it's heritage, it's culture, its history are to be admired and cherished.

The European Union is a failed socio political and economic experiment.

They're two entirely different things. Pity you can't tell the difference.

I can.

So if we get there, I'll be there making a long weekend out of every away game. Stop trying to point score at my expense, and just appreciate how far our grand old club has progressed, under the current boards stewardship. Combined with England's best young manager for decades. With the very real possibility that not only will we be playing a third straight season in the Premier League, but going head to head with some of the European continents famous footballing dynasties.

Let me put it another way.

Shut the **** up about Brexit and enjoy the football.

Have you got a official link to that ?

From what I've looked up only 5th placed is guaranteed group stage.
6th placed is to be confirmed and 7th place enter at 2nd round qualifying.

KlyBfc · Post by **KlyBfc** » Sun Apr 08, 2018 8:01 am

I did the same as wellernut and started the ball rolling pre Christmas just in case. I’ve since dropped it into the conversation after every win to the extent that now my disappearance from family life won’t be a surprise. My biggest problem is we are away for two weeks at the start of August for our first family holiday abroad and so I need the draw to be kind (away in first leg in 2nd qualifying round then away in the second leg of the third)

If we end up in Azerbaijan or somewhere it might be trickier though!!!

steve1264b · Post by **steve1264b** » Sun Apr 08, 2018 10:39 am

i cannot find where it says we would replace Arsenal as the 5th placed team into the group stages.

If arsenal win the Europa league will it also mean that the team finishing 8th will qualify for Europa league?

I, for one, was completely baffled about the qualification process of the Europa League, so I thought I’d create a handy little table with all the possible scenarios, should we hang on to 7th place:

Assumptions:
1. League standings for the top 7 stay the same until the end of the season
2. I have interpreted the complexities of UEFA’s qualification system correctly!
