Europa League 2025-26

What’s the prize money for wins and draws compared to CL.  In a weird way we are also defending that income if we want to grow.

I don’t know that but the biggest prize will be qualifying for next years CL and the added income that guarantees.

It’s €450k per win and €150k for a draw in the EL. It’s €2.1m for a win and €700k for a draw in the CL.

1800 tickets for Basel and it’s e-Ticket.

Got mine. No more European Away travel forms necessary. Not sure that's a great idea.

[AV82EC]

Me too and unsure on why no travel forms. I’m not going to object as it seems to me another pointless piece of admin but 🤷🏼‍♂️

[dorsetvillian]

Looking forward to this trip...

Re: the travel forms, this is an item from the Fans Advisory Board:

Why does the club require travel forms for away fans in UEFA ties, when other PL clubs do not request them?
The travel forms are not a UEFA or legislative requirement, but they assist the Club, and the opposition, in planning how supporters attend the game and how to assist supporters in getting to the stadium. Having an understanding of when supporters will arrive and where they will be based helps local authorities planning in advance of the games, as well as supporting with transport planning on the ground.

As a real-life example of how the Club uses the information captured, in conversations with Go Ahead Eagles the information provide on the travel forms has ensured that we've agreed with GAE that transport will be provided from Amsterdam - information that we only knew from having received the travel forms.

However, if the FAB believes that the supporters would prefer not to complete the forms, then the Club would be prepared to remove the need to complete them, provided that the FAB agrees that the Club communicates it is doing so under recommendation of the FAB, and that the FAB accepts some on-the-ground services will likely be less effective as a result.

Haha ! Arrived in Grenada yesterday staying next door to the Siesta at Blue Horizon again during the international break. Missing lLeeds but back for YB. Hoping to go to Oz after the ManU game if we haven't lost the series by then. You going ?

Put this in the Basel ticket thread but also posting here.  My son has been offered a ticket for this from someone who cannot go, but isn't sure on the rules about picking the ticket up, needing to show passport etc.  Anyone give any advice. He doesn't want to go to the trouble of buying the ticket and getting there if he then isn't allowed in, but given what is said above would that not be applicable for this game?  Many thanks.

[AV82EC]

As it’s e/ticket it’s fine. The person he’s buying it off will receive it via email and he just forwards it to your son. There are no ID checks at the ground.

[Duncan Shaw]

Thanks, he's gone for it!

Just saw your message on cricket thread and replied. Last Ashes tour precovid we were 3 nil down by the time we arrived in Melbourne  so trying to avoid that embarrassment by going for the first two this time.

Currently third level on points with Lyon and Midtjylland above us. Our next game is Basel away with Midjylland playing Genk (Winner goes above us) in the early kick-offs and Lyon playing Eagles at home same time as us.

Currently two points between top and 8th with 6 points covering top to 24th. I don't see Lyon giving up first place now as their last two games are Young Boys away and PAOK at home.

That stupid defeat at Go-Ahead continues to hurt us!

[AV82EC]

As long as we keep winning, we’ll be fine. I see no reason we can’t win our remaining three games, the toughest being Fenerbahce. Our club coefficient, now up to 36th, and prize money keep ticking along nicely.

From what I can see and others have commented as well, Unai will aim to maximise squad minutes, spread the load and do the bare minimum to be in the top 8. He’d probably prefer to finish 1 or 2 to get the preferential draw through to the final but I don’t think he’s that bothered. Along with Roma, Porto and Lyon we’re one of the 4 best teams in this so we should make the semis as Unai will be all over this come the R16.
