I can't see a reason they couldn't move Bournemouth back to the Thursday. Sky and PL have been bending over backwards to help the Dippers - 2 Friday games before CL fixtures. Be nice if they helped us out a bit.
2 days after the semi final!?

Well, yeah, obviously I didn't think that one through very well.
There's a spot already allocated for the holders. If it isn't used because they also qualify through the league (as obviously happens most of the time), then the champions of the 11th ranked league (Austria this season) get a group stage spot without having to qualify. Various other teams (the champions of nations 13, 15, 18 and 19) enter one qualifying round later than they would have done, so the same number of teams as normal (four) still get through to the Group Stage through this qualifying route in addition to the extra team getting there automatically to replace the holders.How does the extra place get made up, or rather where does it come from in the event the winner is places 5th?
Thanks for the explanation, it still left me shy of understanding how the competition would then basically handle the odd number of teams created...the answer, as you say, seems to be that its sorted out some way in the early qualifying rounds that I can't really find explanation for.There's a spot already allocated for the holders.

Rather Barcelona, for the glory. Winning the CL against a Barcelona incl. Messi will echo in time.I know we shouldn`t be looking past this game but IF we were to get to the final who would you prefer to play? I guess we have a slightly better chance of beating Pool but I really couldn`t take losing in the final those cunts.
Pressure on the FA. The club needs to be assertive in demanding they help us out.I can't see a reason they couldn't move Bournemouth back to the Thursday. Sky and PL have been bending over backwards to help the Dippers - 2 Friday games before CL fixtures. Be nice if they helped us out a bit.
And Real Madrid and Juventus didn't?!We certainly have the quality to bear Ajax over 2 legs

Dutch FA has postponed a whole round of Eredivisie to help Ajax out.
