20,000 paying an average of 15 quid.

(Just trying to ease the pain by 200K.)

Are teams drawn at home having to share the travelling costs of the away teams?  It would seem pretty unfair if they aren't

I think it comes out of the 240,000 euros that they'll receive for being in the 1st round.

I believe that there's gate money, TV money, and prize money (listed below).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Similar to the UEFA Champions League, the prize money received by the clubs is divided into fixed payments based on participation and results, and variable amounts that depend of the value of their TV market.^[20]

For the 2019–20 season, group stage participation in the Europa League awarded a base fee of €2,920,000. A victory in the group pays €570,000 and a draw €190,000. Also, each group winner earns €1,000,000 and each runner-up €500,000. Reaching the knock-out stage triggers additional bonuses: €500,000 for the round of 32, €1,100,000 for the round of 16, €1,500,000 for the quarter-finals and €2,400,000 for the semi-finals. The losing finalists receive €4,500,000 and the champions receive €8,500,000.^[21]

• Preliminary round: €220,000
• First qualifying round: €240,000
• Second qualifying round: €260,000
• Third qualifying round: €280,000
• Play-off round elimination: €300,000
• Base fee for group stage: €2,920,000
• Group match victory: €570,000
• Group match draw: €190,000
• Group winners: €1,000,000
• Group runners-up: €500,000
• Round of 32: €500,000
• Round of 16: €1,100,000
• Quarter-finals: €1,500,000
• Semi-finals: €2,400,000
• Runner-ups: €4,500,000
• Champions: €8,500,000

Am I reading this correctly? 

You get 240k for getting knocked out in the first round but if you get all the way to the play off round and get eliminated you only make an extra 60k?  20k per win? 

Or do you get 240k plus 260k etc etc? 

[aberdeen1970]

That's terrible! 

[Scotty_Toronto]

Prize money for each round, surely.

Its not, its payments on elimination

That;s why progressing to the group stage is the wholly grail as there is a jump from 300k Euros to 2.92M between the PO round losers and winners.

Theres then bonus per result in the groups i.e. 190k Euroes for a draw or 570k Euros for a win

[Scotty_Toronto]

I stand corrected.

"This year winners share is 10% more in Europa League prize money. The winner of the competition earned (€8.5 million) which later become double for them after including tv rights money and fixed payment on base of the team position."

It was good to see 6 goals, but like you say I remember thinking good times & good football were coming last season when we horsed Chickura (?) 5-0.

Some good goals & good football

Even Jon Gallagher looked really good. Turns out Chickura were League Two standard, same as Runavík. 

Look how last season turned out.

We can only hope it’s better this season.
