I understand the first leg versus Boh or PAOK would be away from home?

If we get through how much money do we get from UEFA

If we get through how much money do we get from UEFA


i can only see that winners of group stages get £550k with runners up £ 275k


the "game changing" and "set us up for years" amounts claimed by some, admittedly only a few :greengrin were a tad OTT

Commercially allows us to market at a level above where we are now, TV deals mean higher income, gate receipts higher again, merchandise when playing bigger clubs in the groups, hospitality. All of which is before even discussing prize money. The figure you quote is a bonus, therefore there will be other amounts for winning ties, for qualifying for certain stages etc. It would be worth millions for a club like ours all in, of that there is no doubt.

Is the Qualified to Group Stage on top of 2nd, 3rd & Playoff prize money? Over 4.5m euros to get to the group stages???

I’d guess that up to the groups whichever stage you get to is the total you get. After that the amounts get added on. Would be a tad unfair on clubs entering at the latter stages.

So we’ve banked €900K Euros so far in prize money, less also our travelling costs. Also had around 10,000 fans paying as well
A nice financial incentive to win on Thursday night as well

It’ll be every club participating in the competition proper (ie the groups onwards) and ties in with the breakdown posted above (€2.9m+)

We will be sitting on €550k so far, I don’t think they get added up until after the groups.

That’s not how it works, we’ll get 550k if we get knocked out on Thursday. If we were to qualify for the groups we’d get the group stage payout plus extras per win/draw

[Billy Whizz]

We will be sitting on €550k so far, I don’t think they get added up until after the groups.

So is the €550K an accumulation of rounds 2 and 3, not both payments?

[hibbysam]

Yeah if we get put out in the qualifiers, whatever value is against that round will be the total we receive in prize money. If we get to the groups we will get the €2.9m guaranteed, and after that add on any bonuses we get for wins, or for reaching the next stages which all get added onto the group prize.

Absolutely huge, especially knowing sneaking a win or two during the groups could give another million or so. Plus a huge help to the coefficient including the club coefficient. The players and club seem to understand how important Europe is to our finances and our development as a club going forward, it’s our only hope in bridging the gap to the top two, and trying to get a head start on those around us.

that's ok, it's all about the capacity, it means Tinycastle will never ever be bigger than ER :wink: i'm sure the Budge has been working on a plan to cram in a couple of not very wide seats in the budge arena so they can put on their website they have the largest footy stadium in the capital :)

No because Doig will be worth 10 million by May 2022. 😀

[CapitalGreen]

Total gate receipts for the group stages would likely exceed £1m, plus I assume we’d get a share of TV revenue from BTSport?

On top of that, from a sporting point of view our coefficient would benefit greatly which would put us in a stronger position to reach the group stages in future years.

[BS44]

I understand the first leg versus Boh or PAOK would be away from home?

If Shamrock Rovers win their tie in the Champions Path, and Bohemians also win, will that make any difference to whether we play home or away first in next round?

Obviously, we'll beat the Croats easily on Thursday evening! 😐

Won’t affect whether we are at home first, would just affect potentially what day we play.

Found it

Group stage and knockout phase[edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=UEFA_Europa_Conference_League&action=edit&section=4)]The format will see eight groups of four teams, followed by the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final. An additional preliminary knockout round will be played before the round of 16 between teams ranked second in their groups and the third-ranked teams of the UEFA Europa League groups. The new competition will feature 141 matches over 15 match weeks.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Europa_Conference_League#cite_note-uefa021218-3) 56 teams will take part.
The winner of the new competition will be entitled to participate in the UEFA Europa League in the following season. The new competition matches will be played on Thursdays.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Europa_Conference_League#cite_note-uefa021218-3)

It's mad to think that rangers for example can start off in the champions league, drop down to the Europa league, finish third in the group and then drop down again into the conference league!

[erin go bragh]

Four mate( edit ,, you answered your own question lol )

I see Norwich have signed a winger from paok.

If we get through, that seems like good news.

[hibbysam]

It's mad to think that rangers for example can start off in the champions league, drop down to the Europa league, finish third in the group and then drop down again into the conference league!

That third place rule is ridiculous. Top 2 should always go through directly. It worked from UCL into EL in the past as it made up the numbers and the top 2 in EL already qualified. Crazy but none too surprising.

[Stuart93]

If Bohs are still in a position that they’re looking to go through would be a massive incentive before we kick off

[Dalianwanda]

Yeah they are no great shakes at the moment. Would be pretty confident.

[Since452]

I'd bet my mortgage on PAOK going through tonight. It will be about 33 degrees at kick off time. Think it'll be too much for the Irish lads.

Yeah and that means if you finish 2nd in the group, you are in a play off to reach the last 16 to accommodate them. The way UEFA distributes wealth is unreal it really does make the rich richer. No wonder leagues like ours end up the way they are where you get a couple of teams which completely dominate, and everyone else in the league can barely lay a glove on them. Therefore the only way we can realistically compete with the OF is to have sustained Euro group stage football. If only we could do it. The thing is now I feel it could be within our grasp. We cannot underestimate how important a game this is for us to progress as a club. Its massive this game.

[Antifa Hibs]

i can only see that winners of group stages get £550k with runners up £ 275k

That's on top of the 3,m euro (well just shy of that) for getting into the group stages surely? Plus the hunner grand or whatever it is for winning a game in the group stage and there's even cash for drawing a game in the group stages.

[A Hi-Bee]

Hibs may also have to contend with record temperatures in the region, not going to help us, and should be taken into consideration as temps up above 30 degrees will tire any player not used to this.
:thumbsup: we need a real good display of methodical grown up football, leave the headless chicken stuff to the hun and the diet huns, a lot at stake tonight finance wise as well.

Got to hope for the best that we can dispose of them on our way to the group stages.

Plus - we’d be favorites for the group stages.

Bookies have Bohemians at 12-1 tonight ,, 11/4 to qualify. Would love both of us to get through but can’t see them doing it

[Since452]

1-0 paok

2-0 PAOK. The Dublin dream is over :(.
