£100k for the winners iirc.
So we’ve made 95k thus far and a winning run would net us nigh on 250 in total. Not bad.

I thought SD said that the full cup run plus winning the trophy could make us 1 million quid. Might be wrong like.

Could be by the time you add in prize money, gate receipts, hospitality, sponsorship etc.

So we have made over £100k already and presumably also made a few bob on the gate on Tuesday with another home game to come and I also think you get a share of the gate receipts in the final which would be the big reward.
Normally the FA take a cut in the FA Cup and I assume the EFL will also take a cut here, plus as Wembley is owned by the FA they will not be letting the EFL use the venue for free. I also think a percentage of the final receipts goes into the pot to effectively pay the prize money in the earlier rounds.
The U21 sides put in £1,000,000 total last season and that was increased to £2,000,000 this time round and they also forgo their match expenses in the group stages.

So if you add on the £46,000 we made from the mags, that's nearly £300,000 or one and a half Will Griggs

Can't move to Saturday as it hasn't been arranged yet.
Only the final is on the TV. As it stands the League Cup will be on Sky the night of our game.

Will be good for us to test ourselves against a decent Premier League u21 set up.

So the BLANK Saturday is part of an FA Cup weekend..... Yes?
However you want to disrupt that with a so called tinpot competition (Not my words but the majority of posters on here) game over the FA Cup weekend. f***ing good luck with that. What a stupid f***ing suggestion......!
People on here moan that the FA cup has sold its soul..........!!!!
Well my friend no bigger example than an idea like this being proposed.

Seems logical all around. No FA cup televised in the U.K. at 3 on Saturday anyway. I have little interest in FA cup once we are out, let’s hope they change it to the Saturday.

I will be watching the 12.45 and 5.30 games on TV in the city whilst going to the game at 3, hopefully. It’s very difficult for fans out of town to keep making this journeys to the SOL midweek especially given what a basket case North East transport is. I really hope this is changed, checkatrade games have been moved before, if we and city agree I don’t see what’s the problem.
