Cymru premier in Europe this week

[alan_corneli]

TNS now just 1 aggregate win away from guaranteeing a spot in the Conference League proper

They play Ferencvaros next, so a win is unlikely.

Caernarfon v Legia Warsaw ultras, I hope they’re ready. The away fans could outnumber the home fans.

I’ve just read that Warsaw fans are banned

Lose and they still get 2 more chances

[Dembe]

I habitually check flashscores app and noticed the Welsh teams results.

Would make a massive difference to the teams if they could start to get a bit more money out of these qualifying games.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

I hear they beat crusaders in Europe ?

Chuffed for them

Anyone got a link to the penalty shootout? They had a good following apparently

[ToTaL ITK]

can't find any info

[JamesWales]

Spectacular result. There is another thread on it somewhere.

They will go out next round to Legia Warsaw but I believe they get £350 for this, plus gate receipts, so it's a huge amount at that level and also when competing with English non league teams for platers etc

[Vic Flange]

Even if they go out they will go into the conference league where they would be seeded.

Nah they are in the conference league already so I'm pretty sure if they lose they will be out.

TNS have a decent chance of it though

I'm not so sure that 350 quid is all that huge an amount if I'm honest.

[Michael Morris]

Bala knocked out by a 120th minute goal.

Connah's Quay knocked out after conceding in the 88th min to take game to extra time and then conceding again 5 mins from the end of added time.

[Dembe]

came on to mention Bala town. Won 1-0 to take the game into extra time after losing the first leg 2-1 and lost in 120th minute...thats got to hurt.

I hope the crowd is about 200,000, £350 won’t go far.

Alan Lung beat you to it.

Ha, £350k!

[splott parker]

Alan Lung beat you to it.

I was doing a bit of research on ground capacities and was going to suggest the old Maracana. I did read Alan’s post and the £350 was worth a New York, New York. Thanks for your help

Always here for the elderly in need. Can you imagine a stadium like that these days? You'd need excellent traffic management and public transport. They wouldn't be allowed to use it at full capacity these days.

That Brazil/Uruguay game in 1950 must have been mental, 200,000 estimated attendance, could well have been more.

Thats quite a lot to comprehend, all I can think of is the chaos getting in and out and too and from etc

[Wozza16]

TNS have a massive game tonight, 1-0 down from the away first leg. If they manage to overturn it they're in the Europa League play off or at least the Conference League group stage! Wonder if/how much the Moldovans have played on an artificial pitch before?

Probably the biggest game in domestic Welsh football ever?

[The Lone Gunman]

Probably the biggest game in domestic Welsh football ever?

I reckon Barry Town playing (and beating) Porto in the Champions League could be considered bigger.

[Talksport]

Not to mention Merthyr v Atalanta
City v Real
City v Hamburg

The list goes on.

Wozza, you. Just be no older than about 20 :)

Bottom line the Welsh League is of a poor standard, maybe except TNS.

[Wozza16]

I more so meant in terms of significance of what it means, not as in who the opponent is. If TNS win they are guaranteed an insane amount of money, more than any Welsh club has "won" before? Probably in the region of £3-4 million pounds

Porto are undoubtably bigger than Petrocub...

If that's true (and I've no reason to doubt you), it only highlights how insane European football has become.

TNS's attendances for their two home European games so far this season:

810 v Decic Tuzi (whoever they may be)
1,022 v Ferencvaros

To put that into perspective, Tamworth v Sutton drew a crowd of 1,676 in the National League on Saturday.

From what I can gather, TNS have already been knocked out of the Champions League and may be knocked out of the Europa League this evening, but they may still end up in the Europa Conference League. Is that right? If so, it's crazy.
