Final ruling on Mechelen today from the Belgian football authorities, and the ban stands. UEFA will make a decision on how this changes distribution as soon as possible. In any event they absolutely have to do so before the third round draw next Monday as seedings may well be affected.
Plus it gives Genk absolutely no time to prepare for a tie scheduled for next Thursday if they are in. Plus Antwerp will have sold tickets for a game that no longer exists. A right muddle by the Belgian authorities. Their appeal process was WAAAAAAYYYYY too slow.
Yay - my ticket has arrived. They did say they were sending them out this week for those not using print at home. Really looking forward to the match, the Europa League experience and generally just seeing all you miserable buggers in the pub. Now to arrange that early finish from work for next Thursday...
