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?
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.
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.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

being reported in cork local rag evening echo at the moment that city are going to lose 100,000 euro's on this lithuanian tie :eek:
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.Quote:

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 :) :)Quote:

Did anyone else notice Alan Matthews bias? :D
He can be a bit pro-Shels alright. I suppoose seven years there will do that for ya.
Balances out nicely with Pat Dolan so.
So do 4 double decker buses and a giant whale so......Quote:

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.
