European cup competions and money

[exile]

Dolan said tonite it would be worth half million euro's in tv money and sponsership for whoever got throught to meet steau bucharest in the next round. it seems a bit ott to me
was just wondering is this accurate ? and does anyone know whats the situation for the uefa cup and prize money as the teams progress?

[jorge]

I very much doubt it.I was going to reply to one of the threads disscusing the match.anayway the most you'd get is 300k.

[Slash/ED]

Assuming the match would be a sell out and that it would be shown in Romania and Ireland it would make a fair amount of money, but 500k? I doubt it would make that much.

[dcfcsteve]

I think Dolan was just shooting form the hip again, and getting a bit carried away with himself. Seriously doubt if there'd be as much as half a million in it.

There'd be very little money in the TV rights from Romanian stations - the country's not exactly loaded.

Whatever prize money a club earns from UEFA, they don't see it until the competition is over, ie next May.

Or from the gate receipts there.

The stadium will be full, 28000 people, they're fanatical about Steaua over there it seems! :)

But does each team not keep their home gate receipts ? In which case the number at the game over there would be irrelevant in terms of Shels income from any such game.

P.S. Call me superstitious - but talk of the 2nd round ain't healthy until you're definitely there...!

Dolan really is a terrible pundit.
He was asked a question at half time and completely ignored it going on some rant about the stadium instead, making no sense whatsoever. This is par for the course for him, his off-topic rants (ha ha, he must post here under a pseudonym)
At least withhim in the studio we were spared his "jokes" to George.

You're right on both counts there, you keep your own gate money as it's two legged not like a one off cup competition, and we haven't qualified for anything yet.

Are you sure? When the European Cup was started, gate receipts were shared between the two clubs (on the insistence, amazingly enough, of Real Madrid, who thought that was a fairer system!), and I don't think that's changed since...?

[Slash/ED]

I'm not 100% sure so you could well be right, that suits whoever meets Steau anyway.

No we're not! Did you not hear him on about the two things he thought he would never see in European football, One was the lack of pre-match training(Glens only training 2 weeks) and the other was an advertisment board in a football ground for SPAM :) :)

[superfrank]

Would you rather another Paul Osam? At least he brings a bit of personality to the position and at least he knows something about the EL.

Did anyone else notice Alan Matthews bias? :D

[Longfordian]

He can be a bit pro-Shels alright. I suppoose seven years there will do that for ya.

[Slash/ED]

Balances out nicely with Pat Dolan so.

How can that be?
How is the cost broken down in the rag?
I presume the shed will be closed for the home game, but surely the rest of the ground will be a sell out? At 20 euro a ticket, that's got to cover expenses.
Even if we only get our usual crowd of 4,000 or 5,000, thats 80 - 100k euros. And we'll get UEFA cup money for participating, however much that is.
There's no way this tie can cost 200,000 euro in total.

[ShelsTim]

Shels made 400k last year from the CL adventure, I don't think it included the UEFA Cup. So, 500k is definitely over the top.

That's before programme sales, raffle tickets, shop income...

You'd be a Crazy one to believe that :eek:

Pineapple, AFIK the City programme LOOSES money! I would assume its tied into sponcership. :confused:

[Poor Student]

Btw, would Shels be at home first or away if they get through to play Steaua?

[Slash/ED]

home first unfortunately.

[Poor Student]

Good for me from a selfish point of view. I'll be away for the 2nd leg. Thanks for the info Slash.

[EireBadBoy]

Once again the insularity kicks in, Romania is not living in the U.S 80's - it's quiet a viable financial nation but sure we all look down on it!! :confused:

Seriously, it's the same ****e we get all xenophobic about, Romania is pure stokey! It's a currently stable state and currently enjoying all the tourism that comes with ignorance of the Eastern Bloc. Stuea are a succesful team but I hope Shels ( I have nae typed that without Dollar signs in so long *phew*) continue on their Euro journey. Albeit lets hope Romanians are'nt that poor they might try and sell the tie.

Sweet Jaysus!!

This was covered in another thread I think. Anyway, Lennox was quoted as saying that the total cost if the trip could be up to 100k & they could loose 18k (gate receipts will probably be around 60-70k, etc etc)
None of that takes into account the participation money from UEFA - 60k I believe - so the club WILL make a profit.

[pete]

I'd be amazed if any money to be made from trip to Romaina. Romania tv wouldn't pay much. Will also cost a lot to travel there on relatively short notice.
