Granted. But, in close games, having that extra bit of match sharpness gives a team an edge.

You expect people on here to believe Pats have a turnover of around 1 million euro ???
It simply has to be much bigger. If you have someone giving you donations they are included in the turnover.

Completely incorrect - of the teams in the relevant 1st qualifying round of the Uefa Cup the vast majority play in summer seasons! taking last season as an example, of the 32 teams, only 7 were out of season, and these were all in the bottom 9 seeds anyway! The in-season bit only comes into play if a team makes it into the next round and draws a team from a summer league.

the main thing anyway is that St Pats keep the score down to something respectable

That's not fair, they should be allowed score just as many goals as they like.
