Dons In Europe - 2023/24

[The Cockney Don]

Europa League play-off round if the Tims beat Inverness in the cup final, which would then guarantee us at least 8 matches in Europe.

If not it's Conference League qualifying.

Working on a google sheet for potential opponents. 

If Celtic beat Caley you might be surprised how soft some of the opposition could be.

We'll be pot 1 as well.

Pot one for Europa play off? Or Conference play off should Caley win?

Pot 1 for Europa League, avoid the Champions League drop outs.

[Peedie1]

Pot 1 as in we are in the league path, we won't be seeded though, decent chance of being in pot 3 when it comes to draw for group stages maybe

[englishred]

Ideally we can win the play off and get into the europa league , financially it would be a massive boost.  Conference league would be by no means bad in money terms either

The Europa League Playoff round looks like this...
 

Priority 1                     coef.
------------------------ --- ----------------
CW/N3                    Ned  43.000 - 89.000
LASK                     Aut  36.000
CW                       Bel  17.000 - 19.000
N3                       Ukr   8.000 - 35.000
CW                       Sco   7.280 -  8.000
CW/N3                    Srb   6.475

Priority 2                     coef.
------------------------ --- ----------------
CL-Q3 @3

Priority 3                     coef.

Priority 4                     coef.
------------------------ --- ----------------
EL-Q3 *3
EL-Q3 *3
CW/N3                    Sui   6.335

 

So if Celtic win the cup we will be in the Priority 1 Pot for the draw which means we will play a Priority 4 or Priority 3 team.

But already Priority 4 already potentially contains Slavia Praha & Olympiakos but on the flip side Lucerne of Switzerland will also be in than group and they have a lower coefficient than us,

Priority 3 teams are Champions League 2QR losers.

How much more would Europa league group qualification be worth v conference league? Is it a material difference? 

[Dandie1992]

About a 600k initial fee jump in Europa League. However more likely to get some wins and draws in the conference league which gives you 434k and 144k a pop. 

All depends of course. Could get Liverpool and Ajax in the group in the Europa League which is bigger money from ticket sales & TV money. 

There's every chance we could make more from the conference league that we would do in the Europa. But it's all ifs and buts. 

Either way, minimum I think we'll get is 3.5-4 million

minimum prize money?

I would hope we'll be turning over a lot more than that from the 8 games

[aberdeen1970]

Talk about rather being in the conference group stages than the europa group stages because we might earn a few extra hundred grand by picking up more points can get right in the bin.

Wouldn't make any more from TV or ticket sales. We'll likely sell out all three home games anyway and BT (or TNT as they'll be known as next season) already have the TV rights.

Also, unless we were horrendous and lost all six games, we would likely earn some points in the Europa, which also pays more.

I think I'm right in saying the Group Stages is exclusive to BT/TNT and they have first option on the PlayOff rounds which they dont always take up?

No TV deal for QR1, QR2 and QR3 with the home team owning the rights.

Home team own the PO rights if BT dont take their option

Nobody, all the while the jews would be slowly stealing the tables and chairs of the Dons fans claiming god said they could sit there first.

Will be heading to a Euro away fixture next season for the first time ever.

The 1530 and 1800 kick off times aren’t hugely appealing unfortunately, fuck UEFA
