"Not too mention a few extra quid. If the figures on the other thread are correct about FA Cup revenue then we've made well over £100,000 so far in that competition. Can get a player or two potentially with that kind of money. "

.....or a couple of match day stewards?

Classic #gaslogic at work here. 

They've progressed through one round of the tournament so far, which yields a massive £36,000 in prize money. They won't have made any profit on their home games, with the very low attendances they've had. So where has the extra £64,000 come from? :blink:

The extra money would be two games on BT Sport plus 2 x £12K for the Sunday MOTD programme. For once this isn't Gaslogic

It isn't as if they have to pay their defense a clean-sheet bonus every week!

But it's great that evidently all the staff work free of charge to ensure that there are no costs associated with staging a game!

Great point. I have mixed up profit and income. That's why I'm not in Finance

It took me a while to find it but the prize money for getting to and winning the thing seems to be just over £300k. 
They get 20k for taking part and the early rounds they get 10k for a win and 5k for a draw. Round 2 (last night) they got 20k, as you say, it must have cost around half of that to stage the game.

The prize money jumps up from here on though, and you would imagine all those “boycotting” will throw those concerns aside to go to Wembley, which will add to the income. It could keep them in business a bit longer.

It will be interesting to see what their gate is on Saturday, as they could move into the play off places as they are playing Southend.
 

 

Do you have any idea how much it costs to stage a professional game of football..?! 
the Police bill alone is likely to exceed your guess. 
TWENTY years ago now, the Chief Exec of QPR told me Cody best part of £100k to cover the costs of staging a single league fixture!

With the 20th anniversary of 'mind the gap', next year we should chip together and bring the Gap Band over from the States, (they're not lightly to be busy) , to sing their hit "oops Upside your head".. 

 

One for the teenagers... 

Retitled “Oops, no stadium”

Could be the Blue Few's pet band. Like them, they haven't done anything for years.

I have a copy of their 1980 album Gap Band III and it has a track called Gash Gash Gash.  New run-out music at the Mem?

Perhaps a few 'mind the gap' stickers to plaster around their camp site (and patch the holes in the canvas).

I've just listened to 'Gash gash gash' on youtube. Like the methane snorters, it's truly terrible! ?
