Would love to win the FA cup but champions league far more lucrative?

Winning it?Winning the Champions League is a big ask but why not? Dare to dream
just qualifying for it would be dreamland for us and Tony's bank balance

I can’t believe this has reached four pages and is even a discussion still.
Okay, I’ll play devil’s advocate. Let’s say European competition is bad for us.
So for the rest of our existence our aim is to stay in the Premier League, but finish outside of the European places and not win any domestic competitions (so we don’t qualify for Europe).
What’s the point then? What’s the point of supporting the Albion, or any club really?
Ridiculous.

Better prepare yourself; realistically, we need 10 wins from experience of last 10 years and that looks a stretch. 8-9 might be enough but then it is likely to be a last day scrap between several teams.

True, as it is a Holy Grail, along with winning a cup. What OP is justifiably pointing out is the difficulty non top 6 (and sometimes even top 6) have in playing 50+ competitive matches without dropping a bollock en route due to too low resources. Of course we want to get the road map out for that treasured visit to Bulgaria but it comes with strings and the finances from Europa League don't stretch far.
In TB we trust and all that, but IMO we shall need 4-6 reasonably oven ready players to make sustained attack on all fronts, and we tend not to do oven ready.

tfso!
jumping the gun here slightly ! I dont really follow European football but what are the typical away allocations for europa league / conference games? Like others on here its always been a dream to watch the Albion in europe (dont really care where). The problem for me is living in NZ with no points and just a my albion+ membership to my name i think the chances would be next to none.

Should we ever make it, I'm planning on just turning up in the city of whichever team we're playing and if i can't find a ticket just watch in a bar there. It's the adventure and romance of playing in Europe that's the biggest draw for me.

It’s a minimum of 5% of stadium capacity. Ticket prices are a maximum of 45 euros each for the Europa League & Conference,

Take a look at the loan player updates on the club website, I think you'll see what I mean ?

Yes, but which one was sent out willy nilly? There was planning and purpose behind all the loans wasn't there?

The Sussex OB struggle with a load of idiots dressed in black from Croydon they would have no hope with thousands of mental Italian, Dutch, Turkish or German fans. Pyro shows could be impressive.

Would be amazing, recruit well (which we seem to) and we will be okay to sustain a run in Europe the league and domestic cups.
Australia get into Eurovision, maybe the Europa League will expand to include the antipodes too?
