Europe 21/22

[muttonhumper]

BK Häcken (SWE) then.

 

 

[muttonhumper]

Sound like dirty bastards.

 

[afc1903mad]

Home first to BK Hacken (Sweden)

 

[muttonhumper]

 

16th in Swedish League.

Rock bottom.

 

A bye.

 

Home first.

[WesthillWanderersFC]

In terms of co-efficient that’s the hardest draw we could have got.

But if we can’t beat them, there are no excuses. 

[starryfish]

Gothenburg again

[Scotty_Toronto]

Happy enough with that.

(Glad we avoided travelling to BLR and KAZ.)

bottom of their league after 8 games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Allsvenskan

yup, wee trip to the Ullevi for the players before going to Hacken's tiny ground

[Fridge]

Fuck sake we would rip out Sweden when we can’t travel and leer at the birds.

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

Hacken it is then.

[afc1903mad]

Would have made a great trip.

Wondering if its still worth it (£300 - £350) return flight

[Ten Caat]

Decent draw only a 75 minute flight away and as has been said.....Gothenburg will hopefully instill good vibes for us.

They'll be no pushovers but far better going there than a 6 hour plus flight each way to the depths of Kazakhstan just before the league opener

Think you've to quarantine for a week when you arrive

[Sheepo]

They are rock bottom of there league but will be ahead of us in fitness, but overall we should pump them

They have some respectable results in previous couple of seasons drawing nil nil with RB Leipzig and AZ Almaar but went out over 2 legs. Not started the domestic season well but they will have the advantage of being fully up to speed and mid-way through season whilst this will be our first competitive game. 

Martin Olson who used to play for Blackburn and Swansea is probably the most well known player.

Hopefully we get in some more new faces before that as otherwise i would say its a 50/50 game and i wouldn't be confident due to the lack of competitive games.

 

[afc1903mad]

Looks like it an artificial pitch with a 6,300 capacity

[RedRichard]

Hacken actually have two players at EURO 2020. Two experienced (hopefully slow!) 33 year old defenders

For Finland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joona_Toivio (he played in the Erikkson game)

For Sweden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Olsson (didn't play in first game)

But will Hedges still be an Aberdeen player come that time?

Fingers crossed he is still our player and he starts the season on flying form. 

[Tord31]

Not the best shout of the five teams but might be ok.

What a sickener to miss out on this trip as it would have been a good one.

Whose alt account are you?

[Tord31]

I presume we are allowed to play our qualifier at our normal preferred ko time of 7.45?

For those not keeping up to date the ECL games are meant to kick off earlier but I presume that's only actually a thing for the group stages.

Decent result in the second round 2011-12 against @BrianFaePerth's mob. 

[SupportmeansSUPPORT]

I notice Hacken appointed the former Norway international manager as their new manager a few days ago so will be looking for the new manager bounce.

Although they are bottom today they are only a couple of wins away from being in the shout for european spots so probably early doors to judge them on it.
