England, Scotland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Malta

That looks pretty winnable to me. England v Scotland will obviously be the big game.

Is that confirmed/official etc?

If so, great draw. Should easily win all them games if our professionalism continues.

I was impressed with the Slovenia game, most players were in holiday mode, but still ground out a win

Due to me being a Paddy an' all that, Group D interests me more. Rep of Ireland v Wales. Should piss that! Then Austria? Moldova? Georgia? I expect to get past those. Serbia might be difficult though.

Be nice to go to Ljubljana again. Malta in June hopefully. Can only hope the Lithuanian FA see sense this time with which ground they use. Would even accept paying twice the price for it to be elsewhere.

Top qualifies and second is POs. Another relatively easy group for us. Nice one for ROI and Wales too. E and I are dreadful. Most of those 11 sides wouldn't even have a remote chance of getting to a WC normally.

Couldn't have hoped for an easier group. Certainly wouldn't have wanted France or Italy. If we don't get through then hodgson will be looking for another job

I've never been away to see England before... so really excited by this draw. Definately going away to Malta, Scotland speaks for itself and all the others are reasonable.

What is the situation though with flights and hotels? As soon as the fixtures are released I'd imagine the prices will rocket????

Booking.com for hotels and Skyscanner for flights which should go on sale around a year before the game. The only way to apply for tickets for away games or the England section at tournaments is to join the ESTC.

If you do want to go in the England end I would advise you to sign up to the free membership now and get some caps by going to Wembley before the Euros to give you a bit of a head start before signing up to the travel club.

Scotland will be easy. Slovenia (unbelievably good trip) should give us 2000 again and I think almost everyone got a ticket that applied this time round. Malta should also give us around the same but it will be much harder as it will be a new one for a lot of the high cappers. Lithuania have only given us 250 tickets this time round so if it's at the same ground it's very unlikely if your not a top capper. Slovakia will give us 500-1000 I would think so again that will also be quite hard.

If you sign up it'll be the best thing you'll ever do. Can't beat England away trips.
