League of Ireland in Europe 2015

Thanks, so thats 800k already for them, is it really that much ? If so thats brilliant money, and worked out really well for them starting in the first round.

Dundalk will pick up 550k min as we start in the 2nd round, however there is a very limited chance of making Round 3 and anymore money.

If we got past BATE, I think it could rise to 1.2m, and even if we lost Round 3, we'd have 2 more games in EL play off, but thats not going to happen. BATE are a quality side.

If Dundalk are getting �550k that's what they will get plus the �200k first round fee plus they are playing an Albainian side surely they have a chance in that tie.

Nope, you don't get money for a round you don't play in. Dlk will pick up 550k min for starting in round 2, this includes the 'consolation' prize for not playing in the group stage.

If we go out in Round 2, thats it, no further monies due.

If we get to Round 3, even if we lose that, we go to the EL play off, so min of 4 more games if we get past Round 2, and possibly 1.2m in total prize money.

Its all fine saying this, I still don't think we will get past Round 2.

Plus its a Belarusian side! (BATE)

I think D24 means Crusaders play Albanian oppo. Skanderbeu are the lowest ranked seeded side so are beatable if Crues raise their game again.

Bookies not rating UCD tomorrow at all. 12/1 for the win, same price as Glenavon away to Saligorsk. 7/1 draw no bet is very tempting now.
Pats at 11/20, Cork 29/10, Linfield are evens.
Pats/Linfield double could be good value as well.

Oh I missed that, well if thats the case Crusaders will have possibly one of the 'easiest' routes in recent times to round 3, then again the Albanians will be thinking the same..............

Many Cork fans make the trip , Reykjavik is hardly the big apple nothing in the place with added high cost booze.

Nice place and nice people, that's 2 things it has going for it that Cork doesn't

Heard there's around 100 Cork fans made the trip. Good numbers if true.

**marty** · 08/07/2015, 3:45 PM

Has there been much interest in the home legs atendence-wise? Hesrd Cork were expecting 4k plus for last week's home leg....I'd imagine the teams get to keep this money as well as the prize money?

**D24Saint** · 08/07/2015, 5:38 PM

It's our first european game at home for two years so seems to be a decent bit of interest we are set at 2.5k max tomorrow and look likely to be near enough to that which is decent considering no away support.

Thats about 10 times more than travel out of Munster for away games usually!

Don't judge all games on the amount that turns up to Oriel Park. Not many fancy going to that hole too often!

Minimum 100 would be standard in Dublin, but the trip to Louth isn't worth it.

A European trip is special, you'd save your holidays for that. Not quite the same trying to take a half day every second Friday for a game. Our away numbers will never be very big regularly because of that.

Pity you are not a nice big Salmon micls!
