San Fran City Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Had this chat with a City fan the other night. IF we went up after winning the play-offs would we have pocketed more cacs, as a club, than if we had finished second? Presumably, each place finish in the league is worth a certain amount on a sliding scale. Take into account the money that QPR would have been given for runner-up and the money we got for being third. Then pencil in the gate receipts for the three games and TV money from Sky = a better proposition for the bank manager. Nerves of a ship wreck for the fans!!Anyone help me out here???

Riaz Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Money received from Sky and extra gate receipts(approx half million from millenium Staduim) plus prize money for being third. Second Place QPR wont get that much more prize money than us for being second. So if we go up, we should pocket more than QPR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red herring Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I don't think the play offs are that big a money spinner. Said on radio bristol that the league take a large cut and the rest goes in a pot and is divided amongst the 4 play off clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave L Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 I understand the club could make around £400,000 from winning the play offs, as against not very much at all for coming 2nd. Maybe that defeat at Luton was part of a cunning plan? (This is how conspiracy theories start) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kingsbridgedave Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Mike Bateson chairman of Torquy Utd has said that they would have been better off by £150000 if they had been promoted via playoffs rather than automatic promotion. He also booked his holiday on a cruise and so missed their promotion !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coles'Gal Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 haha silly man!! yeh, i do think that we pocket more from playoffs, but i'm not saying it's better than automatic promotion of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rizzle Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 We would make more than qpr. In the prem there is 500k for each postion up the table. we would make about 500k from the playoff final so plus semi final money we would make more. And i dobt in the 2nd division there is as much as 500k a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
