Wanderers fans will have a dream trip to Bayern Munich's world-famous Allianz Arena in a Uefa Cup group game on November 8, it was confirmed this afternoon.
The four-times European champions and past winners of the competition will host thousands of Wanderers fans for the biggest game in our local club's history.
Unbeaten Bayern are five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga following a comfortable 3-0 victory against struggling FC Nürnberg at the weekend.
FC Braga from Portugal were the next team out of the hat in Group F, followed by Red Star Belgrade, when the draw was made in Switzerland this morning.
The draw as far as Wanderers were concerned was completed when Aris Thessalonki of Greece became the final team in the group.

Wahey and what about Red Star away - anyone lining that one up or we all going **** or bust on Munich instead? Seriously think the club will need a massive allocation for this! Talking of Red Star watching Danny Dyer over there on his football factories prgramme, should be a warm welcome awaiting English fans.

OK some advice from a Red. Flights thru Hamburg at £120 with kayak.co.uk Try for hotels at ratestogo.com Don't mess about saving money thru Stansted, false economy, awful to get to. As for Belgrade some Reds I know had the worse experience of their lives there, still got ex paramilitaries who think English fans are the ultimate fighting test...be careful.

Will definitely be catching both away games but the Crvena Zvezda game is the one not to miss! As blue said - they will definitely give us a warm welcome, and if anyone thinks the the atmosphere was 'heated' in Skopje wait until you get to the Marakana - once saw a local derby there (red star V partizan) it made an old firm game look like a teddy bears picnic!! Anyway, finishing in the top three is not beyond us so Europe here we come!! Not far for us to travel to the final though - City of Manchester stadium : (

Easyjet from Stanstead 74 quid, Edinburgh 40 is the best I can see so far but Stelios's namesake will hear about the game and put these fares up soon I'll bet! This site is running red hot today! How many of the venomous whingers and moaners going I wonder??!! Very exciting! Just shows what UEFA cup is all about.

Can anyone tell me the approximate first class fare from Manchester to Belgrade please and also which are the nicest 5 star hotels there? I hear the locals are rather hostile but they appreciate a good sense of humour. No doubt we shall oblige them by playing young Mr Nolan in our team once more.

Anyone know if the following home game against Middlesbrough (10th Nov) will be put back a day or not? Many of us will be travelling back from Munich on the Saturday hence missing the game.

Game v Villa was already on a Sunday for TV. I have accepted that the price for being in the Uefa Cup is worse league results, and unfortunately I think our chances of winning those 3 massive home games v Villa, Boro and Wigan are reduced now. But its a price we'll have to pay, because the chance to play Bayern Munich and Red Star Belgrade isnt going to come along again in my lifetime.
