Pretty certain it was already in existence but was taken over by UEFA then rebranded to replace the CWC. Could be talking nonsense of course. The intertoto was an extra way of qualifying for CWC / Uefa cup, can't even remember which The wee team entered but it was a riddy 😄 The interdodo, people called it 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've lost out of this, they've lost of this We played in the last CWC against real mallorca In the last cup winners cup In the first UEFA Cup group stages In the second ever group stages of the Conference League It is basically about our place in the pile and hopefully we continue to operate there for a bit and use the cash and experience to progress as a team Edited September 20, 2022 by Sooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, yes, we are where we are We have no choice but to get on with it; we beat RFS away in ECL, with a clean sheet - bang! We beat 'well 3-0 away with a clean sheet - bang! I like a bit of bang bang! One more bang bang from now will see us bang on schedule for 3rd in the league, 1st in the big cup and 2nd in the ECL group A! We can do it! A nice Gold, Silver and Bronze If we do this, I think we will earn the right to put Gold trim on next seasons' kits Too optimistic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite happy with where we are and see it as a great platform to build on .................................... it will take a lot of hard work though as we are not yet that much better than our rivals . We are better but just not enough to guarantee any thing yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it doesn't include our share of the Media Pool money, as that is usually only confirmed after the tournament has finished. My reckoning is that it should conservatively be worth at least another £300k to us, so we've made over £4m excluding matchday revenues. Any more points we pick up in the group will add to that figure. Net matchday revenues will have to be >£1m. By net revenues I mean what we make in gate receipts from 4 home games, less the cost of staging the games, less the travel and accommodation costs etc. of playing 4 away games. So my conservative estimate is we'll be looking at a minimum of £5m, possibly closer to £5.5m before factoring in any money we might make from results in the remaining 4 games.

Like being the first British team to play in Europe in what was an invitational event, the 4 Scottish teams, including Hearts, who finished above them in the league all declined the invitation and the English FA effectively put the kybosh on any of the English clubs taking part (Chelsea were the champions that season, the only time they won a league title before Abramovich entered the fray).

There's no record of their participation; assume they were gubbed immediately We probably finished above them that year; if I remember right, we did But if we didn't apply it became available to the next team down Looking at wiki, there was always some really big teams from Germany, Portugal, France and Italy in the tourney, they were obviously crowded out and caught short for qualifying via league position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
