[Tomos Lewis @TomLewisBM]

.@tnsfc guaranteed €3.17m, with a further €400k for each win and €133k for each draw (and they may well fancy a result against at least a couple of their opponents...)

In addition, they will get further amounts depending on where they finish in the 36-team league (min €28k)

BREAKING: #TNS 2024/25 #UECL league phase draw. ⤵️

🇮🇹 Fiorentina (A)

🇰🇿 FC Astana (H)
🇮🇪 Shamrock Rovers (A)
🇬🇷 Panathinaikos (H)
🇸🇮 NK Celje (A)

@Crossways23 @tnsfc @ChampionsLeague @YClwbPelDroed @FAWales A small percentage is shared across all non-competing clubs. UEFA make the payment to the FAW who then decide how it’s paid out to the other JD Cymru Premier clubs.

[Tomos Lewis @TomLewisBM]

Notwithstanding @tnsfc loss tonight and unlikely progression in @ChampionsLeague , they are already guaranteed at least €1.71m (c.£1.437m) in UEFA prize money, even if they do not progress to any group stage.

Various permutations calculated below:

@YClwbPelDroed @FAWales

[Tomos Lewis @TomLewisBM]

@CaernarfonTown @EuropaConLeague @YClwbPelDroed @FAWales For completeness, @BalaTownFC and @the_nomads will each receive €325,000 in prize money after their elimination in first qualification round of @EuropaConLeague

@YClwbPelDroed @FAWales

[Tomos Lewis @TomLewisBM]

.@CaernarfonTown also already guaranteed a minimum of €700,000 in UEFA prize money this season.

Again, various permutations set out below if they progress any further in @EuropaConLeague :

@GaryDewhurst @TheWelshDragon9 @CymruLeagues @ChampionsLeague @europacnfleague Think may be due to permanent rugby markings on the 4G (and absence of any football ones 😂!)

[Tomos Lewis @TomLewisBM]

@iolocheung @Iorwerth57 @PontyUnitedM @AberystwythTown Not 100% sure, but would imagine concerns from Ponty/their physio that their insurance would not cover treatment for Aber players and therefore leave club/physio directly exposed to risk of any legal claims for any negligent treatment

[Tomos Lewis @TomLewisBM]

@iolocheung @Iorwerth57 @PontyUnitedM @AberystwythTown Ddim yn 100% siwr, ond dwi hefyd yn amau fod consyrn ni fyddai isiwriant Ponty / ffisio Ponty yn gymwys ar gyfer trin chwaraewyr thu hwnt i dim Ponti ag felly byddai cytuno i cyfro Aber yn gadael y clwb/ffisio yn agored bosib i achosion o esgeulustod

This article caught my eye this morning, in particular this comment.

My post explores why it is not as simple as Welsh Government simply reducing the interest rate.

An attempt to clarify (from a neutral perspective!) the decision to deduct 141 points from @PontyUnitedM but suspend 135 of them.

Comes hot on the heels of @PenybontFC_ being deducted 3 points for what they describe as an “administratove error”… 👀

@sgorio @YClwbPelDroed

[Blake Morgan LLP @BlakeMorganLLP]

A decision to deduct 141-points from Pontypridd United has gained widespread attention as 135 of the points were suspended for two years.

@TomLewisBM examines the arguments, legalities of the decision and the sanction here: https://t.co/BpReAPfB3z #PontypriddPointsDeduction

Enjoyed featuring on @sgorio podcast to try to explain the recent decision to deduct 141 points from @PontyUnitedM (albeit 135 suspended for a period of 2 years) together with a transfer ban for 2 transfer windows (albeit similarly suspended for 2 windows).

An interesting independent arbitration decision in the @CymruLeagues

@PontyUnitedM deducted 141 points (47 games x 3 points), 135 of which (95%) suspended until the end of next season.

Will look forward to reasing @Sport_Res panel’s decision in due course…
