That's how much prize money our players cost us today, along with the reward of a third round tie. https://www.thefa.com/competitions/thefacup/prize-fund Our club is struggling financially due to covid, this was our lifeboat, albeit only a dinghy, with a few paddles thrown in as extras. What I want to know now is what are the players going to do about it? Lower League supporters pay £10 every game to watch them via stream, during these difficult times. This isn't like SKY, pay a monthly subscription and watch endless games. We can be spending £40-£80 a month, depending if you take in the midweek games. What there is of current financial revenue into the club pays their wages! I never mind losing, what bugs me is when players get lazy or lethargic, switch off or even disrespect their opposition. I said Exeter would be tough, we all spoke about the warning signs. What did the players themselves not get about that message?
brb - If the 'prize' money of only £25,000 was to be shared by Premier League players, they wouldn't have even got out of bed today.
