Euro 2016

[CrippyCooke]

The BBC have today published an article containing the fees each club received due to players representing their national sides during Euro 2016 qualification and the final tournament.

Rovers received €169,038 which I assume is due to Luke McCullough's representation of N. Ireland. The figure equates to roughly £145,000!

I saw that, interesting to see that it was more than Championship clubs like Bolton, Brentford and Preston and even more than Middlesboro!

that's better than a good kick into the never never region

wonder if the said player had any kick back via his contract

And as a result 15 mins apart at York, is out all season too

presumably the lowest ranked teams (at that time) Iceland & Albania ?? would get the EXACTLY same amount of money

so if any of the Albanian squad actually played in Albania - their team would have literally have won the lottery

fond memories of  Albania

Chelsea once played some Albanian team in the (communist period) and they wouldn't give any Chelsea fans visas (they never thought to change  their names to Norman Wisdom !!!)

for those of you with time on your hands read this and keep a straight face
