The draw for the UEFA Cup first round proper involving West Ham will be made at 9pm Brisbane time tonight. Okay this is how it works:

For the draw of the 1st round the 80 teams will be divided into 8 groups of 10 teams. Each group consists of 5 seeded and 5 unseeded teams. I have not managed to find out who is in our group - I've searched the net high and low. What I do know is we just missed out on being seeded.

The seedings are as follows:
