BlueAnorak said they were, I don't know.

I was surprised as they'll still want to split 4 clubs from a country evenly across the 2 days.

Yes they will but BA reckons they'll do that after the draw, rather than splitting the teams as part of the draw.

Is that definite though, they said the official dates won't be confirmed until 1pm?

Yep, first club out of the pot plays home leg first, we were second out the pot so we play home leg second.

Anybody been to Bucharest? Is it any good?

Yep. Many times. Brilliant place. Cheap as chips and the old town is great for a night out.

Hoping the home leg is on the Tuesday. I've got to deliver a big training session on the Thursday morning.

I went in 1977, but it might have a changed a bit.
