Myself and most other football fans. Don’t do it just to stick it to the man. I don’t like the competition because it’s a shit competition worth fuck all and absolutely irrelevant prize money
When in the situation we apparently are in, no prize money is irrelevant. The Premier League has added additional money to allow their underage teams to play and the prize money for this competition is now greater than it has ever been.
I can’t temember exactly how much prize money there is but literally the prize money is about absolutely pointless and would help us in no way whatsoever it’s that small
This is how the prize money was distributed for last season from a £1,950.000 kitty. This season the kitty has been raised to £3m. and we earned £20k for topping our group but I don't know how much we got for winning/drawing each game. However, with a competition increase over more than £1m it has to be much more than for last season. Each club also gets 45% of match receipts.
Round Prize Money Total
Group Stages £10,000 per win £5,000 per draw = £960,000
Round Two £20,000 per win = £320,000
Round Three £40,000 per win = £320,000
Round Four £50,000 per win = £200,000
Runners Up £50,000
Winners £100,000
Total £1,950,000
As I said before, hardly irrelevant!.
