BRING ME WITH YOU.
Yeah, perhaps. Basel just give me the fear.
They knocked the scum out one year, didn't they?
OUch... thats by far the toughest group...
The rest was pretty even to be fair i reckon

We'll get through that group.
Not sure when dates are announced. I'll keep an eye out. I'm pretty happy to have placed myself at the top of the 6CM ticket queue.
Lol.
Just checked - Basel actually beat Chelsea in both their group games last season, so that's impressive. Hopefully now that Yakin no longer manages them (he was at one point linked to the Spurs managerial post) and also after selling Salah, they're no longer as good. They lost both their group games to Schalke 04 and drew both games against Steau Bucharest though, so they got eliminated. Go figure.
August 27 - Bulgarian champions Ludogorets could be forced to play its matches in the group phase of the Champions League outside Bulgaria if they beat Romania's Steaua in the playoffs. The second match against the Romanians is tonight in Sofia, with Steaua leading by a goal.
The problem for Ludogorets arises because the national stadium Vasil Levski, where it plays its home games, does not meet the requirements of UEFA which only allow only Category 4 stadiums to host Champions League group games. Currently the Vasil Levski stadium is ranking as a Category 3 facility.
The National stadium was part of Ludogorets' campaign in the Europa League last season, but in this tournament the criteria are less restrictive.
The stadium, situated in the downtown of Bulgarian capital Sofia, hosted Levski's games in the Champions League in 2006 but even then UEFA was forced to make a compromise. Eight years later, the stadium requirements seem unlikely to be overlooked again.
The irony is that should Ludogorets beat Steaua, they could return to Bucharest for the Champions League group games. The local National Arena, built for €230 million, is a Category 4 stadium. Another option would be to play at the Philip II - the national stadium in Skopje, Macedonia – which cost the Macedonians €50 million to build.

Hey @the count, can you point our good friend RA to the official 6CM queue.
By the way, for those thinking of making the trip to Bulgaria for the Ludogrets game (if you can get tickets in the first place):
