Has anyone who got a ticket in the ballot been informed as to how to get the ticket yet I have not heard a thing since being told I had been picked.I filled in the form confirming I would br going. 

Nope, seems odd Valur are selling tickets but the clubs can't seem to find a way to restrict access to (presumably) section D on their ticketing site to those successful is our ballot.

Running out of holidays LOL
Might have to be a Thurs lunchtime drive up and a 2-3am return and back to work at 9 that one.

I've heard rumour that St.Mirren and Kilmarnock can't both play their games on the same night. :huh:

Eagles play in Deventer which is only 90 mins from The Dam 😃

I was just getting into football when they played Celtic in '66 , they were called Go Ahead Deventer at that time. Didn't adopt the "Eagles" till the 70s

Will this game be broadcast on tv in any way for a those of use who can’t go? I’ve not found any details on the web about it 

It will be available on a pay-per-view basis online via SolidSport (for around or maybe just under £10, I think) at:

https://solidsport.com/footballglobetv/games/g/qz3hsp4w

I know this because I'll be doing the commentary on the match. :) Just thought I'd check in and say hello: my name is Darren Kilfara, and I'm a multi-sport commentator who has done quite a bit of football over the years, including last year's Conference League qualifier in Switzerland between Luzern and Hibs for SolidSport (as well as matches in the past from La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, etc.). FYI, I'm American but have lived in East Lothian for more than 20 years, so please don't be put off by my accent; most of the Hibees seemed pretty pleased with the job I did last year - even if some of them thought at first that I was the commentating equivalent of Ted Lasso, hahaha - and I know how important this match and this competition is for Saints fans, so I really hope I can do a good job for everyone!

In case you're wondering, whereas the television rights for group stage and knockout stages matches in UEFA competitions are sold collectively (e.g., to TNT Sport in the UK), the rights for UEFA qualifying matches are owned by the home club in each match and are sold off individually. So in this case, Valur agreed a deal with SolidSport, which then becomes responsible for making the broadcast available to people who want to watch it. FYI, the stream should be available for purchase around the world, so if you have any friends who are abroad, they should still be able to watch the match if they wish to.

If you have any questions you'd like me to answer - or any information about St. Mirren you'd like to pass along - please let me know and I'll try to answer them!

€12 which worked out as £10.12. Looking forward to the Saints bias commentary immensely and praying for the right result.

Re: the latter - thanks! I've only just started my prep work for the match and may have more questions later, but I guess my main fear in covering a match like this is making sure I pronounce everyone's names correctly. Assuming there isn't a comprehensive pronunciation guide to the club somewhere, if there are any names on which you have particular guidance to share and/or names which other commentators routinely get wrong, I'd be very happy to take that advice onboard!
