Win over HJK worth at least £6m to Celtic

1408

Celtic will receive £1.65m from the Uefa revenue distribution system for participating in the Champions League play-off round against Helsingborgs.  Add to that around £1m gate money and the guarantee of at least three Europa League games, with Uefa distribution money, you can calculate the value of Wednesday’s win over HJK Helsinki as no less than £6m (all figures are net of vat).  Quite a prize for one game.

Compare this to the projected income from newco The Rangers, who claimed to have sold 25,000 season tickets.  If all sales were at full adult prices (£258 in vat), net income would be £5.375m.

Should Celtic overcome Helsingborgs and reach the Champions League group stage, the club will return to a remarkably strong financial footing.

    I don’t want to put people off donating, but these text donations lead to tons of follow-up phone calls from a 3rd party company which is employed by various charities to get your details for Gift Aid.

     

    Total pain in the butt, even after you’ve sorted the GA stuff, as they can continue with the calls to try and get further donations.

    Aye, but it was a strong Peterhead, full of their first team of painters, joiners & posties!! These guys have been playing for years and occasionally at footie as well :-)

  3. No matter the result, this is a great workout for our young team against a top European side away from home in hot conditions.

     

     

    The money will be handy as well.

     

     

    Now, just where is Peterhead?

  4. I noticed when we played Arsenal in the CL qualifier a few years ago how quickly their players pressed the ball. Although I don’t watch a great deal of European football, I saw that it was one of the noticeable things about the Spanish national team and the Barca team over the last few years.

     

     

    These top teams are effective on the ball because of what they do off it.

  5. Was that Charlie with the screaming “F**k off” when a Real Madrid player fell over on the merest of touches ? Well said !

  6. Every time I see/hear sleekit sally,for some reason I get an image of The Flowerpot Men in my head.

     

    It must be all the flobalob.

  12. Excellent finish by Benzema; tight angle, dummied a shot, then smacked it into the corner – sign him up.

  13. Here, what the hell were SEVCO doing being allowed to wear the 5 stars on their away kit today against Peterhead?? Somebody should write a letter to the SFA as this is fraudulent. Since when have SEVCO won 50 SPL championships??? What address can I write a letter to???

  14. Am a wee bit embarrassed now,gettin

     

    beat 2-0,when the new ragers got a point
