Taken from the FA website...presumably the £67,500 is split between the two clubs.

3 games in 6 days, ridiculous!

3 in 4 days used to be the Easter norm, but played at a more leisurely pace.

Wonder how many tickets we will get? With it being on live TV will this affect their gate, which usually is only in the hundreds anyway?

 

I want to go so will eagerly await Vale's news on sale of tickets etc.

[valeparklife]

Maybe this was all part of the plan?

 

£33,750 TV money

£18,000 prize money (if we pull off a shock win)

2 x 50% of gate receipts (3,977 attendance; hypothetically 3,000 adult tickets at £12 + 977 concession tickets at £6 = £41,862)

 

Even if we lose that's around £80-90k!

I was tempted but I've no way of getting home for under £200 on the train or before about 3am, so I will have to test out one of the pubs.

Sounds about right, though wasn't that at the end of the season when we had no other time to play them? Seems a bit excessive for the middle of November to me

 

It was either toward end of season but I also have a slight feeling that it was something to do with cup replays being involved as well.Maybe someone with a better memory than me can remember it better.

Nice earner vpl but we get 45% of gate money.

On Vale site now.7.30pm ko.Ticket details to follow.

 

The FA site says kick off is 7.45??

[Jacko51]

If you're making the trip you'll be visiting the oldest continually used ground in the world (1871) worth it for that alone surely?

 

Capacity is 3,000 with only 250 seats I believe so allocation will be minimal but looking at a pretty small following I would envisage anyway with it being on the box......

 

I'm going and they'd better save me a seat!

[Rudge's Flat Cap]

There's no way they'll change our Saturday and Tuesday games. Not at this short notice. Plus, they simply don't care.

[VantaaVale]

Nice earner vpl but we get 45% of gate money.

 

For the first game each team got 50% of the gate fee. For a replay each team gets 47.5% and 5% goes to the FA Cup pool.

[Santa]

Nice that it's on the telly, but the choice of date is poor.

[Howjy04]

For the first game each team got 50% of the gate fee. For a replay each team gets 47.5% and 5% goes to the FA Cup pool.

 

I'm in the Third Round already VV.:D

You'll be there at 7pm at the latest Jean so it won't concern you.;)

According to those in the know down there our allocation will be around 600.

 

Superb news and timing as it means I can make the game!!
