FA Cup 2017-18

[22A]

The draw for the Extra Preliminary and Preliminary Rounds will be held on Friday. Meanwhile here's a chart showing how much clubs receive for winning each round

Extra Preliminary Round winners £1,500    Preliminary Round winners £1,925    

First Round Qualifying winners  £3,000    Second Round Qualifying winners £4,500  Third Round Qualifying winners £7,500 Fourth Round Qualifying winners £12,500

First Round Proper winners £18,000 Second Round Proper winners £27,000       Third Round Proper winners £67,500 Fourth Round Proper winners £90,000                  Fifth Round Proper winners £180,000 Quarter-final winners £360,000 Semi-final losers  £450,000 Semi-final winners £900,000                                                                         Final runners-up £900,000 Final winner £1,800,000 Total £15,132,000

So if a team from leagues 1 or 2 made it to the 3rd round and ten lost, they'd receive less money for their two wins (£18,000 + £27,000) than a Prem or Championship team coming in at the third round that beats them £67,500).

To be fair that £67,500 would mean a lot to a Prem club. 

[Malago]

How much will the sags get for being knocked out in the first round proper by a non league club?

Yep, it would. Four day`s wages for Diego Costa at least I should think.

Every little helps.

A weeks wages for someone ay. The prize money is almost pointless now, massive for the smaller clubs but insignificant for prem and most championship and league 1 outfits. Yet more wasted money that could be pumped back in at grass roots level by the FA.

At the same time, depending who they played, they could make a lot more money from the split gate receipts than their prize money.

£296,000;  made up of £12,500 + £18,000 + £27,000 + £67,500 + £90,000 + £180,000.  

Meanwhile Arsenal picked up £360,000 just for winning that quarter final.

[BCFC1512]

Is there a list of entries anywhere?

But wouldn't Lincoln have got that £360k if they'd won the quarter final..?

[Always Believesham]

The prize money only means anything to most of the teams outside the Prem really.

Give the FA Cup winners a champions league place and you'll soon see teams taking it more seriously. They would be more worthy champions than a team finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th - give 4th CL football if the FA Cup winners are in the top 4.

I appreciate historically, it's the European Cup rather than a champions' competition.

This may even re-ignite some interest in the cup final again. Especially if we were to lose one of the CL places to a more successful nation like Italy

Can't find one, but the draw for the Extra Preliminary and Preliminary Rounds will be held on Friday. After those two rounds come the four Qualifying rounds with clubs from different non league levels joining at various stages.

Last season 368 teams were in the 1st Qualifying Round.

Only 32 non leaguers make it to the 1st Round Proper when the 48 teams from Leagues 1 & 2 join in. As they knock each other out, just 20 "lesser" teams make it to Round three when the 44 Championship and Premiership join in.

Cheers yeah can't find it either was just wondering if Wellington Town entering this season :laugh:

If they are in the 9th tier or higher then they most likely are.

Bristol Manor Farm just got promoted from their division which was the 9th tier and have entered it as long as I can remember, almost always from the very first round (extra preliminary), 6 rounds before the first round 'proper'

There's normally over 700 clubs to start I believe.

Edit- I see Wellington won the division below Manor Farms last season and have taken their place in the Western Premier.

A reasonable chance they will be in it, but comes down to if the club applied or not.

totally agree. I just don't understand why the fa and premier league and uefa can not see it. (must be the money eh!) bout time the premier league realised its just first division of the football league again. FA cup champions to European cup.....all day long.

They should do, I think top 6 teams in Western League div 1 gain entry to FA Cup - but its also down to ground regulations.

Was part of one of the four teams to beat Wellington last year  deserved winners, they were very good.

[22A]

OK folks, the draw has been made; file:///C:/Users/Martin/Downloads/the-emirates-fa-cup-ep%20(1).pdf here's the localish teams.

Clevedon Town v Bitton  Cadbury Heath v Longwell Green Sports   Wells City v Cribbs  Shepton Mallet v Tavistock  Cheddar v Willand Rovers  Wellington AFC v Hengrove Athletic  Street v Hallen  Brislington v Sherborne Town  Bridgwater Town v Keynsham Town  Bradford Town v Odd Down.

[22A]

For the winners in the Extra preliminary Round, here's the preliminary Round; file:///C:/Users/Martin/Downloads/the-emirates-fa-cup-p.pdf

Plymouth Parkway v Paulton Rovers or Portland United  Barnstable Town v Clevedon Town or Bitton  Shepton Mallet or Tavistock v Shaftesbury or Exmouth Town  Bideford v Wells City or Cribbs  Cadbury Heath v Yate Town or Longwell Green Sports  Bridgwater Town v Brislington or Sherborne Town or Keynsham Town  Wellington AFC v Buckland Athletic or Bodmin Town or Hengrove Athletic  Cheddar or Willand Rovers v Bristol Manor Farm  Bradford Town or Odd Down v Mangotsfield United  Taunton Town v Larkhall Athletic  AFC St Austell or Bridport v Street or Hallen

[22A]

Just a thought; The FA claims to be supporting football at "grass roots" level and it's commonly acknowleged there is too much money sloshing around the Premiership. FA Cup sponsorship is more than £15,000,000 and there are approximately 1,000 cup ties. Just a suggestion the winners of EVERY round to receive £15,000. Clubs at the top of the tree won't notice any difference, but think what £15K would do for clubs such as Bitton or Manor Farm.
