Socrates Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm sure someone mentioned that West Brom got all the gate money last year for losing the final. Is that right? How much would we be getting for it? It's hardly a consolation prize right now, but hopefully we can invest wisely and push on next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted May 24, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 It appears to be an unwritten rule of the Championship that has been followed for several years now. As long as City & Hull agreed to do this as usual we're probably looking at getting an extra £2-3m income to add to our Summer spending....

Slave to the rhythm Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 It appears to be an unwritten rule of the Championship that has been followed for several years now.

Seems a little odd that Hull would happily give us a couple of million quid. They'll need every penny they can get their hands on if they are to survive in the Premier League.

The theory is the losing finalists miss out on £60m so the winners let the losers keep all the gate receipts. Worst case we'll get half that figure to add to the £2m we were able to afford to spend last Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kit Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I thought that I had seen somewhere that the winners don't get any of the money, and their money goes to the two losing semi-finalists. But I may have completely dreamt it all up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
