Who covers travelling and accommodation costs for this European park team cup?

I'd guess UEFA?

As it is FCSCUM get pretty big crowds compared to all the other teams....a team getting 150 fans elsewhere surely can't find this compy sustainable otherwise.

I'd love to know how much being in this vanity worth fuck all farmers cup actually costs them a year ? It's a total joke, yet they spin it to the gullible twats like it's some kind of prestigious major UEFA cup competition, when in fact, its solely for tramps and vagabonds.
Edit: Such a discredit to farmers leagues..sorry.

I'm quoting from another poster on here but I think it's the home teams responsibility to pay for the travelling and accommodation costs of the away team in this competition.

What was laughable was last season they played a team from Krakow. The game was played at Pallet Park on Sunday but the Polish team went to the theatre of streams to watch the rags on the Saturday. These shameless huxters probably made some commission from flogging the rag tickets to their opponents as well as making sure they did a tour of the rag superstore pre game.

So the club they distanced themselves from because of the Glazers and being pissed off with ticket prices etc..they take their opponents to the club they turned their backs on 20 years ago and line the Glazers pockets ? How the fuck does that work then ? Fuckin hypocritical tramps!

Just to clarify guys, home teams are responsible for the away teams expenses in FA cup and FA Trophy competitions in this country. Not sure if European competitions are the same

It’s a vanity project in Europe. The away team covers the cost of getting themselves to & from their own airport & flights. The home team pick up the cost of transporting the away team to & from the airport to the ground & a hotel for the night. The idea is the gate receipts pay for the costs, originally FCUM budgeted it twice. Once on a “best case” scenario with 2000 fans & once on a worst case scenario with only 1,000 as it is they haven’t got near that but reckon they’ve broken even on the previous years.

The Paris trip was a joke last year, was nowhere near Paris, just a small French town miles from Paris. The standard of football is terrible. Bury 2 leagues lower than them pulled out to concentrate on meaningful competitions. Several sides haven’t managed to organise their games and forfeited last year. They might have an issue as the next round is particularly inaccessible

Don’t worry about the costs - isn’t there a ‘rainy day fund’ with about £20k in it from the last round of thieving rinsing fund raising they inflicted upon conned received from their mugs loyal fan base?

Fair point, also the Italian organisers of the Fenix donate 2,000 euros to help towards the costs for getting through to the second round.

They made a big deal about playing in the san siro for the finals. What you might have missed as they weren’t quite so vocal about it is that they only made the 3/4 place play off so they weren’t playing 90 minutes anyway. They then arrived and found everyone locked out of the ground. The players got changed in the car park & were eventually allowed in to play 30 mins each way in an empty stadium before the fans were finally let in. There were similar scenes of poor organisation on the shores of lake Como last year & fans were ripped off & not getting the exclusive perks they’d paid for in the official packages from which FC were getting a kickback….whilst going on about being against modern football

Ah, but now Sir Laughalot (Scruffy herbert, Jim Ratcliffe) has saved the day, it must be ok to see the Trafford Termites again ?
Bet a lot of the dopiest splitters have returned to the Swamp, thinking the football business has been salvaged from the evil Glazers ?
Don't they realise that Scruffy Jim is as big an asset stripper and money junkie as the Glazer family ?
Wonder what they make of the GPC being sacked ?

Ha ha you couldn't make this shit up but the competition is part funded via crowd funding!
Is there any end of these bucket shakers having to dip into their pockets and fund this club?

So €150 gets me a dinner invitation after a game at Pallett Park!
So a bag of crisps and a pint of Holts at either the Blue Bell or the Fairway (the Broadway for us FOC) then?
What’s not to like?
