      Think it will be less to do with travel and more to do with the clubs themselves prioritizing their own supporters. I'd say 30-40% is the best capacity we're going to get anywhere around Europe for the next few months at least so unless Uefa say there needs to be away supporters (which would be incredibly careless) then I can't see any for the foreseeable. As a rough guess I'd say maybe quarters / semi finals at the very earliest. Also in the pre-covid world Uefa would get a corporate allocation which was near enough the same as the away allocation, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if corporates were prioritized above away fans once some extra tickets do become available & the capacity percentages increase

      What you said about the corporates being given priority reminds me of what I read this morning:

      Nothing may ever be the same.

      37.5% chance we'll draw an English mob. 3 English teams in pot 2. Think the pots go by UEFA rankings. We are 10th on that list.

      Only exception I can remember was ourselves & Chelsea being drawn into the same group in 05/06, but I think that was down to some weird technicality with us having to qualify through the backdoor after finishing 5th but winning it the previous season

      So if we are drawn out, how do they keep us from drawing city, utd or chavs, if all are drawn from pots blind !
      Do they return them and keep trying until they get a non English club, or is it ‘fixed’ before we get to that stage 🤷‍♂️

      Don’t fully understand how they can be fairly avoided in the current situation !

      Who I’d prefer.....

      Shaktar Donetsk
      Krasnodar
      Midjylland.

      Who we’ll likely get....

      Atletico Madrid
      Inter Milan
      Marseille


      Be nice to get an ‘easier’ draw, but the best have all gotta be beaten at some stage.

      Couldn’t help but laugh when City drew Porto from Pot 1, not sure I know a team that gets so much luck as them in these draws.

      City (as per) and Chelsea been very lucky.

      With the way the pots are distributed now (champions and holders of the two trophies in Pot 1), there's no real advantage to being in Pot 1 over 2 anymore.
