They have no excuse with the Olympics over.

Having defeated Albanian champions Teuta in the 3rd Qualifying Round, reigning SSE Airtricity League champions Rovers face Estonian League winners Flora Tallinn in the play-off round for a place in the group stage of the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League.

With the first leg taking place in Tallinn this Thursday, the return in Tallaght Stadium on Thursday week will decide who marches on to the group stage. The game in Tallaght kicks-off at 7.45pm, live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player.

Rovers confirm a 3,500 capacity for the game.

And attendance capacity increased to 3,500 for the game. All members and 2021/2020 season ticket holders should get in now. Some tickets may even go on general sale I'd say.

Pleasantly surprised by rte

[sbgawa]

3500 that's great news, hopefully the start of something more sensible in terms of attendance numbers for a sport that isn't bog ball

In other news, Sheriff Tiraspol - who lost to Dundalk last year - beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 tonight and have one foot in the Champions League group stages.

Hope for Rovers et al - and hilarious to see it happen when UEFA change the competition to reduce smaller clubs' chances of getting in

Not sure what Kelly expects uefs to do when their own organisations aren't supporting them or funding them properly. Always find Lisa Fallon very articulate and not just some knee bending to gender balance like the BBC

"European rewards should benefit all LOI clubs" - but it does, through the solidarity funding, which varies depending on how far clubs get in Europe.

[Philosophizer]

Sounds like Kelly is asking for something that already exists.
You'd think he'd have known about the solidarity funding.

[pateen]

Will the game be available for stream on Loi TV?
Asking as an overseas viewer

Maybe it's no harm to have voices calling for spreading the money wider to counterbalance the top clubs insatiable desire to lock it all up for themselves.

[Finlay Harp]

How much is a solidarity payment worth?

Am I right in saying that this is the national broadcaster saying more should be done to help fund development in the league of Ireland on the show they cancelled because there wasn't enough interest on account of the fact they never generated any when broadcasting the games they never paid the clubs for?

[Philosophizer]

How much is a solidarity payment worth?

Well it changes every year, depending on how well our teams do in Europe. The better they do, the more we get. This article outlines that in 2017 and 2018 it was 825K, while in 2019 it was 750000.

Wasn't there talk that if Dundalk reached the CL group stages in 2016, it could have gone up to €3m or something?

is it only Premier Division clubs that share it though?

Yep the 3M figure is correct if they had got into the CL group stages.

Not sure if it goes to prem division only.
