Alex 34070 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 A similar run should generate us more than that if the fans get behind it and go to the games. I think the club would do cheap ticket deals for the Europa League this time round as well as well which would help in terms of getting numbers at the matches.

PaddockLad 16505 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 From Baggio's post no. 692, about the differences between the champions league and the europa league: “If you can get there and get a couple of wins in the group stages you are talking about substantial amounts of money. It is £600,000 for a win in the group stages – and that is just prize money. “Newcastle will actually make more money from winning a couple of games than if they win the Europa League, which is a sobering statistic. It is a massive, massive difference. “Rangers made something in the region of £17.5million by making it through to the group stages a couple of years ago. Top 4 is what we need, anything other than that is likely to be not worth it financially. Fuckin sad state of affairs, but there you go. Thats UEFA for you. Fulham made £12 million from their UEFA cup run the other year so it's definitely worth it. A similar run should generate us more than that if the fans get behind it and go to the games. Done a bit of digging, and you're spot on Nevertheless, the Europa League does provide much needed revenue for many clubs at a time when clubs’ finances are being scrutinised more than ever before. In 2009/10 Fulham’s run to the Europa League final, where they ultimately lost in extra time to Atlético de Madrid, generated £12.5m, 16% of the club’s revenue for that season.

A few clubs have been doing package deals over the past few years. 3 games for £30, that kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 IIRC I think we did the three group games of the CL as a £71 package for the Leazes in 02/03. Would imagine it would be nearer £90 or £100 this time. We must sell out though. I remember against Feyenoord there was only 41,000 there, makes us look like mugs.

Tom 14000 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 A lot of it is down to UEFA faffing on with the Stadium though isn't it? I'm fairly sure the capacity goes down when it's been used for Champions League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34070 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Nah, lots of people didn't buy tickets for all the CL games because the scheme was something like you had to buy one ticket or three as a package or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure the capacity goes down when it's been used for Champions League. 51,300 was the capacity UEFA limited it to and we only got that against Inter and Barca. Even against Juventus FC there was only 48,000 in, and they were one of THE biggest clubs in Europe at the time. We beat them and they went to the final.

Tom 14000 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I definitely recall Juventus being a sell out but there wasn't 52k there, closer to 47k. They definitely move stuff about! I was in Leazes for Leverkusen & Juventus, Milburn for Inter & I can't remember where I was for Feyenoord. I didn't get any kind of package deal or did I? It was a while back!

You didn't HAVE to but it was more expensive. Was £81 for three games £27 a game, and if you just wanted to go was about £35. I think £100 would be fair enough this time, seeing the likes of Barcelona. I'd LOVE to get Celtic, I'd fuckin love it, shame the cunts rarely get out the quals these days though.

Tom 14000 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I bet it cost a small fortune too! As I child going to these games I was annoyed they took the tops of your bottle of pop away before giving you it, So after ten minutes you have fizzless pop.

McFaul 35 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 This drink ban for European games only applies to British grounds you know. It's a fucking disgrace. When I was at Euro 2000, England fans were seen as the number one threat and they let us sit merrily drinking pints in our seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
