Fa cup prize money

45k for 1st round winners. What does 45k mean to a club like us

 

Probably pays a small chunk of our wage bill. Hopefully we can get to the 3rd round and draw a decent team. Let’s not forget it was us drawing Man Utd that allowed us to buy DKD.

 

More significant than perhaps we think because it’ll not be factored in.

 

Fa cup prize money makes absolutely no sense to me at all. Never has.
First round winners get £65k not £45k because they also get £20k if they lose the second round. I've no idea why they word it how they do.

If we lost today we got £15k
Get knocked out in second round we get £65k
Third round £145k
Fourth round £235k
Fifth round £355k
Quarter final £580k
Semi final £1530000
Final £3030000
Winner £4030000

I think. I may have ballsed that up

 

Forgot about the 20k

 

Better than nowt isn't it? A couple more rounds and we'll be laughing...

 

I guess we need to win it twice this ssn to balance the books ;-)

 

Enough bleach for the next 10 seasons for the West Stand Bogs
