FWIW GB is up to 8th in the CHL rankings currently... And the Panthers are up to 40th in all-time CHL history. CHL Rankings

As things stand you have:
Winners: Frolunda, Tappara, Mannheim*, Nottingham, Vaxjo** then one of: Brno/Malmo, JYP/Zug, Brynas/Munich
Runners up: Wolfsburg/Salzburg, Brno/Malmo, JYP/Zug/Vienna, Trinec/HV71, Liberec, Brynas/Munich, ZSC/Klagenfurt
The best possible draw for the Panthers would be Wolfsburg/Salzburg, both of those are beatable without doubt; and either Klagenfurt or Vienna if they got through. I think you'd give Liberec a run for their money too. Munich & ZSC Lions would be a great series but I think they'd be too strong over 120 minutes. Worst draws would be either Brno or Malmo, HV71, Brynas. Trinec I'm not sure on, they're a good side but we know the Czechs don't like getting hit.
*Not mathematic, but they'll beat the Danish team one way or another. **You'd fancy them at home to Cardiff despite the other night.

Home (2nd) leg should be November 7th. First leg is a week earlier. So THIS (November 7th) is the ONE to buy a ticket for. The CUP interest in domestic play is of no equal measure (of interest for us to win) it seems.

Well it'd be one to be at, whatever our domestic travails.

Ok, so now (I think this is right)....
Kometa Brno - Czech Ocelari Trinec - Czech JYP Jyvaskyla - Finland Brynas IF - Sweden
Salzburg (Austria) or Wolfsburg (Germany) Bili Tygri Liberec (Czech) or Vaxjo Lakers (Sweden) ASC Lions (Swiss) or KAC Klagenfurt (Austria)
From a travelling fans point of view, Sweden and Finland would be best to avoid in my book.

Would amuse me to see Pete Mueller (Salzburg) rock up at the NIC. When's the draw?

Seriously if you can get Salzburg I think that's really winnable! Zurich would be a great trip but I think over 120 minutes they'd have too much. Be interested to see you go up against Liberec, they've got loads of injuries and haven't had a good start at all to their own league, plus as I said before we know Czechs don't like it physical. Brno would be amusing to see Martin Erat at the NIC! Brynas & JYP would be crap draws - both hard to get to, and probably be over after the first leg.

When do we find out if the away game is 31/10 or 01/11?

Does anyone know if some games are going to be rearranged?
I've had a look at the fixtures and surely we can't be expected to fit in 2 extra games without postponing some first

I've had a look at the fixtures and surely we can't be expected to fit in 2 extra games without postponing some first If it happens, Biglad will make reference to it on the 'Fixtures' site. Whilst here I would like to acknowledge the fact that the club has done the right thing and announced that fans viewing at eye level (behind the glass have the option to move. These are the type of things that counts as good communication and fair judgement of seating. The type of thing that the TRUST could be involved in and in dialog with the club could help with such things in advance should the club have forgotten. Fair play to the club and let's look to the future.

I'm guessing, we want either a Czech or the Austrian team? This is doing my head in. I have freeview and I assume its on channel 95 but I can't seem to tune this in. Am I short of something other than a brain on technical stuff.

I guess you may need to do another auto retune, tho it just appeared on mine tho I did do a retune update about a month earlier.

Just wondered if I was missing anything as I did that auto retune. I have to get to DTV and SET-UP then it only shows PLUG AND PLAY which allows retune. This obviously did something as it corrected some faults showing on mine. I will have to try again I guess like you say.
