For anyone interested
Figures are taken from UEFA.com and the gate money are my calculations.
Note: Gate receipts are based on £15 a ticket (Shkupi £15, Osijek £18 and Maribor £20), this partially allows for kid prices.
Note: Gate receipts do not take into account Matchday costs, Stewarding and Policing (should be asking for our money back).
1st Qualifing round: Vs Shkupi
Uefa money £240K
Gate money £740K approx. (49,309 x 15)
Total £980K
2nd Qualifing round: Vs Osijek
Uefa money £260K
Gate money £723K approx. (48,202 x 15)
Total £983K
3rd Qualifing round: Vs Maribor
Uefa money £280K
Gate money £720K approx. (48,001 x 15)
Total £1M
£3 million and counting at present.
Play off round, awards £300k to eliminated teams and awards £2.92M for reaching the group stages.
Group stage performance bonuses will be paid for each match: €570,000 per win and €190,000 per draw.
Group stage TV market is £168M pooled between the 48 qualifiers, this based on a number of different criteria.
On the basis of the new ten-year ranking, a ranking table was established and the total amount of €84m has been divided into 'coefficient shares', each worth €71,430. The lowest-ranked team will receive one share (€71,430). One share will be added to every rank and so the highest-ranked team will receive 48 shares (€3.42m).
We are currently lying 151 in the rankings, a quick glance of teams still in the competition and a quick estimate, we will probably sit around 41 place out of 48, if we qualify for the groups, netting us another £500k approx.
Summary: -
Money Banked £3M
Group Qualifying £2.92M
Qualifying round gate money £1M (Ufa game)
Group stage gate money £3M (3 home games x 1M)
2 home wins £1.14M (Obviously just a guess)
Group stage TV £3.5M (based on TV pool / 48)
Coefficient £500K approx.
Rough calculation could see us netting around £15M from qualifying for the group stages and picking up 6 points.
If ever there was a time to stick the knife in, it is now release some funds and get a CB, a Striker or two and possibly a Centre mid signed for the right price.
Be brave and bold, within reason.
Copied this from a post on ff.
Nice we incentive to get to the group stages and certainly let's us close the gap financially on them.
