longtimeblue Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 am i right in thinking this cup is worth around a million quid to the winners? If that is the case I'm suprised Chairmen of lower league teams haven't demanded that managers put out their best 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 A final at Wembley with 40,000 fans paying £35 a ticket will gross £1.4m. But I suspect the stadium bags a fair percentage of that. And would, say, a Latics v Stevenage final get that many in? I don't think the sponsorship figures are massive and the TV money won't be life changing for this one. While a £1m income for the winners isn't impossible, it seems a stretch. Espeically after you deduct the cost of staging half a dozen games prior to the final. I like the competition and have always wanted Latics to commit to it fully and succeed in it. A Wembley win would do the town and the club no end of good. It's our turn!

Most recent finals attendances.. Carlisle v Brentford got 40,476 fans Carlisle v Southampton got 73,476 fans Luton v Scunthorpe got 55,378 fans MK Fake v Grimsby got 56,618 fans No reason to see why there wouldn't be 40,000 + fans there..

I still have my doubts about the people of Oldham getting off there arses for a trip to BP, let alone 20,000+ heading off down to Wembley.

losesome Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I still have my doubts about the people of Oldham getting off there arses for a trip to BP, let alone 20,000+ heading off down to Wembley. Oh dont worry , if Latics did get to wembley even in this comp you will be surprised how many loyal , supported them years , go every game fan will be there . I don't think even winning this comp is that financially rewarding . maybe a couple of hundred grand. I think most of the money , even from the final is divided amongst all the teams in the lower leagues. Mind youi in our position even 200/300k will be gratefully accepted.

OldhamSheridan Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thinking financially, you'd suspect if we had 50,000 turn up it would go as follows: £35 a ticket Total = 1.75M VAT= 350k After VAT total = 1.4M Remove expenses/Police = 200k After expenses total = 1.2M Our cut (if like FA Cup) = 45% = 540,000 Knock off bonuses of say 140k, leaves us with £400k. If you make the final you do pocket a fair bit. It's just we'll lose a fair chunk of that making the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to hazard a guess that hiring Wembley Stadium for the day costs more than your £200k figure above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Dog Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I hope to go to Wembley this season with Latics....hopefully to see a play-off final win rather than a JPT appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I hope to go to Wembley this season with Latics....hopefully to see a play-off final win rather than a JPT appearance. One of the songs at Scunthorpe was: Tell me Ma, me Ma To put the champagne on ice We're going to Wembley twice Tell me Ma, me Ma. Of course, if you include the F.A. Cup, it's thrice.

bowl Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I still have my doubts about the people of Oldham getting off there arses for a trip to BP, let alone 20,000+ heading off down to Wembley. They shouldn't be aloud to go. The hardcore 3K should get free tickets by the club for their loyalty, the ones who have jumped ship can :censored: off.

c.hill12 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Loving the figures just being plucked from thin air. It was plucked from the coverage of last seasons final (or the build up on ssn, can't quite remember which) The million also included spin offs such as coach travel, merchendise and media payments etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
