FA CUP - Is it worth it ?

[yarddog73]

Looking into the prize money distribution for the FA Cup and you can see what a lifeline it is for a club like ours if you can progress and if you manage to bag a live game, tomorrows game with Donny is worth £18,000 alone, big money can be made if the games selected for Live TV, 1st round games being worth £67,500 to each club.

 

Found this info which breaks all the payments down which is quite interesting.

Let's be honest are any of us confident going into this?

 

Only 3 or 4 places between us in the league and they are the form team

You could have said the same about Scunthorpe!

Reasonably, even though we were apparently dreadful at Rochdale, from the highlights we seemed to have all the chances. Football fans act like they have bipolar, the teams either :censored: or promotion candidates, nothing in between and it correlates directly with the previous result.

We had two that went just wide and never really tested their keeper, Ladapo's shot late in the first half was probably the most he was tested whereas Ripley had several to deal with.

 

We've been :censored: nearly every game. Chesterfield, Swindon and MK Dons games were some of the worst games I've seen at BP recently.

Yes. Love the FA Cup me. Attending on my own tomoro by public transport as my usual local minibus piffs in this games general direction.

Sad times.

[Guest nonaenever]

always liked the FA cup - and it certainly can be a hell of an earner for clubs like us. A reasonable cup run is crucial this year - otherwise our season peters to nothing.

[Monty Burns]

How much did we get for winning today?

[TheBigDog]

Hah!

[yarddog73]

£18,000

[Monty Burns]

Nice.

[yarddog73]

£10,000 for a win on Tuesday.

[BP1960]

Nice.

£25,000 if we win in the next round, a live TV match would be nice.

[Monty Burns]

Curzon away please...

[BP1960]

Curzon away please...

Would certainly be televised earning around £69,000 extra.

[sjk2008]

I've lost interest, but Curzon away would be excellent ....

What a little bundle of joy you are.

 

Anyhow. Well done blues.

Maybe so but you'd never get a ticket!

When's the draw?
