When we win. We're a cup side now!And away to Bristol City or Aston Villa if we win that
Is it true there’s no prize money in the early rounds of the EFL Cup? So it’s actually costing us money the more we play in it?Fuck the cups. We have barely 13 fit seniors. There’s no worthwhile financial gain this year.
I'm sure when we play Arsenal at Wembley in the final it will be a nice earner.Fuck the cups. We have barely 13 fit seniors. There’s no worthwhile financial gain this year.

Last year's figures which is probably the same this season.
I've not seen any confirmation anywhere of this year's prize money, but I don't think there's any guarantee this year will be the same as last year. The FA Cup prize money this season has been reduced to 2017/2018 levels, apparently (not sure how big a reduction that involves).

That would be good news - but to ask a very basic question: Does anyone know how lower league clubs are being funded with no significant income from supporters?
Scally said on TalkSport earlier on the week that it costs £60k-£70k per match to put homes games on, so if the prize money was only £12k total for the first two rounds then we are definitely making a loss in the competition so far.
Yes that’s possibly true, I suspect Scally was exaggerating somewhat on air, as he was talking about our lack of money in general and wanting help from either the PFA, EFL or Premier League. He was hopeful of getting something from the Premier League in the coming weeks to support the whole football pyramid.I would think £60-70k with a crowd but an empty stadium can't cost that.
