Great for the FAI, they can start claiming how great a state the league is in and that clubs have made a huge jump in combined profit this season over the league as a whole.

From todays UEFA statement:
Solidarity payments to clubs not qualified for UEFA club competitions
The solidarity payments to non-participating clubs via their national associations and/or leagues, formerly amounting to 6.5% of the UEFA Champions League clubs’ share, will now represent 5% of the overall gross revenues of the two competitions. A total of €112m will be distributed to national associations and/or leagues for their clubs, compared to €82.4m in the 2012-15 cycle, thus representing an increase of more than 35%. 80% of this amount will be distributed to national associations and/or leagues with at least one club participating in the UEFA Champions League group stage and 20% to national associations and/or leagues without participating clubs. Only clubs not participating in the group stage of either competition will be entitled to a share of these solidarity payments.
Furthermore, the distribution to national associations and/or leagues will no longer be exclusively based on their market value, but 60% of the available amounts will be distributed in equal shares amongst all national associations and/or leagues and only 40% will follow the market value. This will ensure a fairer distribution of solidarity amounts to European clubs.
Will have to wait and see how much it goes up by though. The overall figures obviously show a significant rise, but how it will be shared out in Ireland won't be clear until the time comes. Galway United don't get any of it, but I was just curious.Quote:

Looks like we picked a bad year to give up qualifying for Europe
What I understand is that all clubs benefit in some way, except Galway FC, but I don't have any specifics.Quote:

It'd be great craic if Salthill and Mervue were getting Galway's share. So I hope it's true.Quote:

Yeah I'd heard that before re Salthill and Mervue. Nice little consolation for them.
Next update is April 30th. Won't know until then. Nowhere tracks itQuote:

How does over €1 million arise?
If an Irish club got through two rounds of the Europa League qualifiers it would likely top €1m. If Dundalk were to get through in July, it might approach or match that. Rainman above can probably give more specifics.Quote:

win first tie get € 1.18 million
Might even be able to pay for a new pitch.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
So, does this mean that a team that advances to CL3 and loses, then moves to the EL Play-offs.
The cldraw spreadsheet is after disappearing - have you seen / heard of a replacement?Quote:

No, Longfordian, it means we keep the pitch. After all, how else would we get our hands on €550,000 (and maybe €1.2 million)...you don't think it was because we were the best team in the League.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I didn't think you got the 300k for round 2 AND 400k for round 3 for making it to round 3. (I could be wrong) But that'd still be 400+230+250 = 880k for making it through one roundQuote:

Hopefully the club will put the money towards improving Oriel Park and creating a legacy that will last for many years.
Mad to see the Welsh Saints almost seeded in the 2nd QR - that would have been some draw (unless you're a Longford fan).Quote:

Meh! Bohs or Longford look the same to me in my memory, must be the black and red striped jerseys that welsh clubs enjoyed beating. But I will correct myself to Carmarthen, was it 5-1 or 5-0 that loss?Quote:

Promotion has helped me wipe all the negative bullplop from my former Town supporting life, in saying that, I'd argue the Derry match when someone said that Rovers had scored in the last minute was a pretty horrible experience, much worse than anything the Welsh could throw at us. Sitting in the rain v Cork when we knew we were going to lose the final, and everything else with it, was also much worse..Quote:

We're going off topic but I'll just say that in hindsight though relegation was a blessing in disguise as there was no way we could have afforded to field a Premier Division side for the next few years without bankrupting the club.
Sorry Longford fans!:p
Don't think TNS will have enough to be seeded this season but it'll be close. I can't see that spreadsheet but I think their 5.575 will be surpassed by 17 others.
Belarus, Croatia, Swe, Fin, Nor, Georgia, Den, Serbia, Azerb [9 teams] already quailfied and higher coef or those teams that can possibly win their league have higher coef. Rom, Bul, Pol, Scot, Israel, Cyprus almost certainly brings it up to 15. I'd expect at least another 2 from Hungary Slovakia Slovenia Moldova Bosnia but it only takes one or two surprise league champions for them to sneak into the seeds.
Impressive Sean knowing the co efficient without the spreadsheet unless you had it stashed elswhere on yer computer.
