Only 5,519 turned up tp witness the replay. Not much extra revenue there, then!

For winning their fourth round encounter, they only earned £90,000 in prize money. Add to that the £112,500 they have earned from the previous three rounds, and they have still only earned £202,500 in prize money.

Now, if they should be awarded a live tv game in the next round against Fulham, they will earn another £247,500 and, should that one go to a replay and it was also televised, another £123,750 would come their way. Win that and the prize money swells by another £180,000.

So, if my scenario did happen, they would have increased their minimum earnings to £750,750 and maybe that should be enough to satisfy their creditors? Plus, they would have the chance of earning another £247,500 should they appear live on tv and another £360,000 if they win that game!!! Notwithstanding gate receipts!!

It just makes you realise what a (very) good FA Cup run can bring in finncially! If only we could do it!

We've got (another) new manager. Will he be a very good manager? I do hope so.
