In theory, Corney's hand will have been forced regarding ticket pricing.

 

Fourth televised game in less than a year. They must love the view you get from Boundary Park.

£10 or £12 should still see a decent crowd with it being first up and people being able to get away from their loved ones for the first time in months.

Ha right. The club's logic will be: it's on telly, so fewer will bother, so we better make money off those who do come. £20? Yeah why not.

It was £18 v Carlisle last season.

 

But they threw in extra time and a penalty shootout for free.

You may be right. Given they are facing a windfall anyway it would be nice if they could maybe get the season rolling though, if we pulled off a result in front of a decent crowd it could be worth it several times over in future attendances.

I'd love us to announce that, in the event of extra time, supporters will either leave the ground or chip in an extra fiver.

A great prompt to start attracting sponsorship for the new season.

So first round league cup tv coverage is worth more than third round FA Cup? Weird.

Well, we do offer them an entire stand.. No other football league team can compete with that!

What - there is a difference in fees received for those two rounds? I thought Sky paid a set fee for a televised match? Well, for those outside of the EPL.

Different fees for different competitions.

 

League One game is something like £17,500

 

League Cup game, looks like £75,000

 

FA Cup is currently as follows:

* First Round Proper – £67,500

* Second Round Proper – £72,000

* Third Round Proper – £144,000

* Fourth Round Proper – £144,000

* Fifth Round Proper – £247,500

* Sixth Round Proper – £247,500

I'm sure I read about lower fees for live FA Cup coverage last season.

 

But it would appear not. So my post above is wrong.

In view of this £75k figure, are we now allowed to class this as a money-spinning cup-run?

Well done Latics. Hopefully they have learned from the McMongs game last year.
