Carling Cup - How much money have we generated

Sat Dec 03, 2011 9:03 pm

When we approach start of season in finances we assume we go out of each cup when we budget . Does anyone know how much we will have made if we dont make final , bear in ind both legs are televised - must be @ £500000 = great investment for players wages come January :ayatollah:

After the Semi-final both legs, gate money, Sky TV, prize monies etc. My guess is about £750,000 since rd 1. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Do we get money if we appear on the League Cup show or FL Show?
Even if we dont we must have earned about £800,000 so far.
I reckon the real money started coming in round 4, we must have made quite a bit from the quarters. With gate money (keeping in mind Premier Club sold quite a lot), prize money, then the little things such as merch and money spent in the concourses, what doesn't go to Compass anyway..

It's all very well to talk about income - but there is expenditure as well!!! Nothing's free!

I was told the other day that unlike the FA Cup Final where we received none of the gate money, each team appearing in the League Cup Final share 50% of the gate money.

Certainly enough to bolster the squad, with change left over. Should mean that more than one player will come in :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
