European cup competions and money

**exile** · 13/07/2005, 11:04 PM

Dolan said tonite it would be worth half million euro's in tv money and sponsership for whoever got throught to meet steau bucharest in the next round. it seems a bit ott to me
was just wondering is this accurate ? and does anyone know whats the situation for the uefa cup and prize money as the teams progress?

I very much doubt it.I was going to reply to one of the threads disscusing the match.anayway the most you'd get is 300k.

**Slash/ED** · 13/07/2005, 11:26 PM

Assuming the match would be a sell out and that it would be shown in Romania and Ireland it would make a fair amount of money, but 500k? I doubt it would make that much.

I think Dolan was just shooting form the hip again, and getting a bit carried away with himself. Seriously doubt if there'd be as much as half a million in it.

There'd be very little money in the TV rights from Romanian stations - the country's not exactly loaded.

Whatever prize money a club earns from UEFA, they don't see it until the competition is over, ie next May.

Or from the gate receipts there.

The stadium will be full, 28000 people, they're fanatical about Steaua over there it seems!

But does each team not keep their home gate receipts ? In which case the number at the game over there would be irrelevant in terms of Shels income from any such game.

P.S. Call me superstitious - but talk of the 2nd round ain't healthy until you're definitely there...!

Dolan really is a terrible pundit.
He was asked a question at half time and completely ignored it going on some rant about the stadium instead, making no sense whatsoever. This is par for the course for him, his off-topic rants (ha ha, he must post here under a pseudonym)
At least withhim in the studio we were spared his "jokes" to George.

You're right on both counts there, you keep your own gate money as it's two legged not like a one off cup competition, and we haven't qualified for anything yet.

Are you sure? When the European Cup was started, gate receipts were shared between the two clubs (on the insistence, amazingly enough, of Real Madrid, who thought that was a fairer system!), and I don't think that's changed since...?

**Slash/ED** · 14/07/2005, 1:12 PM

I'm not 100% sure so you could well be right, that suits whoever meets Steau anyway.

No we're not! Did you not hear him on about the two things he thought he would never see in European football, One was the lack of pre-match training(Glens only training 2 weeks) and the other was an advertisment board in a football ground for SPAM

**superfrank** · 14/07/2005, 3:56 PM

Would you rather another Paul Osam? At least he brings a bit of personality to the position and at least he knows something about the EL.

Did anyone else notice Alan Matthews bias?

**Longfordian** · 14/07/2005, 4:13 PM

He can be a bit pro-Shels alright. I suppoose seven years there will do that for ya.

**Slash/ED** · 14/07/2005, 4:13 PM

Balances out nicely with Pat Dolan so.

How can that be?
How is the cost broken down in the rag?
I presume the shed will be closed for the home game, but surely the rest of the ground will be a sell out? At 20 euro a ticket, that's got to cover expenses.
Even if we only get our usual crowd of 4,000 or 5,000, thats 80 - 100k euros. And we'll get UEFA cup money for participating, however much that is.
There's no way this tie can cost 200,000 euro in total.
