I read in the Echo that City received E 50,000 for qualifying for the Intertoto from UEFA, the gist of the story was that City spent this on the trip to Sweden and following the trip to Holland they are E 25,000 in the red. Is this completely accurate? I mean since they have progressed to the second round surely there was another payment from UEFA? Is this just the poor mouth from City or are they really E 25,000 in debt?

I would think realistic enough that cost 50k for malmo trip cos they were there for 4 nights & flights alone must have cost close to 300 a head. Alos 25k for Nijmegen trip probably accurate as had to be booked at short notice.

I would think those figures exclude gate receipts from malmo home game (30-40k) & potential 80k+ from sundays game.

Would mean city make Net 70-80k from 2 rounds?

Don't have the figures for this years competition, but found an old site on UEFA.com which lists the payments as CHF 50,000 per round for the first three rounds back in 2001. I can't imagine it's decreased since then.

you will have no problem getting a hotel or a b&b on the day

Lots of B&b's on the western road and these would be cheaper than Hotels. just get in a taxi and ask the driver to take you there!

Well, they arrived in Cork Airport a while ago. They look like a big side.

well done city. We played a poor match :( Nevertheless we had a great weekend in Cork. All friendly people and a nice town. Small problem with finding a place to stay but eventually we found a B&B.

Good luck for the next games!! :)
