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.

    There is no other football on tv. Next week the EPL starts and we would all be watching that instead if another game was on

     

     

    Can anyone really believe Broadfoot earns £12k a week?

    Paul 67 yes things are rosy and I’m quite excited to see us thinking ahead to the Commonwealth Games and ways to promote the brand to a worldwide audience of one billion tuning into opening ceremony at our stadium. Add to that the many visitors who will attend.

     

     

    Comparing and contrasting our future to that of The Rangers is joyful regardless of how many times Green tells us they will come back strong. Strong compared to who :-)

  5. Sevco in crisis already , time for cracked crests, oh that’s right , they don’t have one .

    To all those who played last year, its a simple 5 minute job to re-register and set up your team, most of you will have probably forgotten your passwords so just type in your email and a recovery password will be sent to you.

     

     

    New players just register normally, will take no longer than ten minutes.
