But clubs earn that themselves. Drogheda's draw againt Malmo added 0.025 to Pats (and every one else's) coefficient

Even Shamrock Rovers run to the group stages only added 0.15 to Pats/Derry/Sligo and the rest

Yes noted, but didnt Derry move up into the 2nd round this year as the LOI were next on the list - like Sligo last year in round 3?

Dodge - presume tickets will be available on the gate tomorrow evening?

They were also three down from the first leg.

Yes, but to what advantage? Instead of maybe Sligo and derry getting favourable 1st roudn draws and maybe winning a tie or 2, they get knocked out immediately.

The year Sligo entered the 3rd round, they played a Ukrainian side and lost. They earned 90k from the tournament

Pats won in rounds 1 & 2 and lost to a Ukrainian side in Round 3. They earned �270k from it (90 per round).

It's now �100k per round.

Good luck to St Pats (expect them to win tonight) and to Drogs tonight (tough one away but you never know)

Not arguing with you but could be said that they might have also got tough draws in those rounds - around trip to asia like pats?

Either way good luck to the LOI teams today

How much do clubs actually make net from European games? I was under the impression the 100k was to cover costs.

Depends on expenses, which vary from game to game. Clubs gets €100k (or at least did last year) for each of the first 3 Europa League games. UEFA calls them "solidarity payments" rather than expenses. You get to keep your home gate and any profit you make on merchandise etc.

Drogheda will do OK as Malmo is cheap to get to. They had to rent Tallaght though. Pats trip cost more but they should get a decent home crowd. Really can't give a figure for net profit though

In the champions league it was €140k per round played (1st, 2nd, 3rd QRs) with another 200k if you don't make the CL Groups.

So Sligo are guaranteed 340k so far (140+200). If they win v Molde they're guaranteed 580k (140+140+200+100) (2nd+3rd+NonCL+EL play off)

EDIT: There's no payments for rounds you don't play in. So Derry don't get money for round 1, when they enter at round 2

Ah, now there's the catch. I was under the impression they did get that money.
