Merthyr Tydfil knowing our luck.I wonder who we would've had in Europe in 1987/88?
Not bothered about Leeds. No one would have turned up anyway, place would've been empty what with SISU and NOPM.
That would have got us a crowd of over 20,000. Leeds are on a tremendous run and would have brought 6,000 at the very least. I just wonder what the receipts from such a fixture might have brought in.
You've got to speculate to accumulate .....though not in our case.
I just wonder what the receipts from such a fixture might have brought in............... I'm sure the same as the Arsenal , Spurs ,Chelsea , Middlesbrough games ... Sweet F. A .
Aren't the numbers allocated alphabetically for the draw... so we would not have drawn Leeds. Life is never simple.
Around enough to run the club for a fortnight!£100,000 - £150,000 maybe. Prize money for round 2 winners was £27,000. Not insignificant amounts but a fraction of the sort of cash needed to really make a difference on the pitch.
Gate receipts are split 55:45 with the away club in FA cup games so even if attendance was 20k, would only have received 11k worth of receipts. Again, not to be sniffed at but hardly going to make a huge difference – we were getting 11k last season.
would have paid the non playing staffs wages for a year.£100,000 - £150,000 maybe. Prize money for round 2 winners was £27,000. Not insignificant amounts but a fraction of the sort of cash needed to really make a difference on the pitch.
What happened to the receipts for those matches then?
