£866,250

[Barry Butlin]

Nice little windfall in January, we get 45% of gate receipts from Old Trafford based on 77,000 x £25 average per ticket!

 

[TarquinDelouche]

Plus £67,500 for winning the tie.

 

[Barry Butlin]

Nice One!

 

[MobileBlade]

Except the average price of a ticket won't be £25 and you need to take off operating costs (stewards etc) first. Still should be a windfall though!

 

[Barry Butlin]

You're right looking at last years 3rd round tie versus Cambridge adult prices were between £31 and £53 so my figures are way below!!

 

[CarlingBlade]

£1.5m according to reports in the paper.

 

[wizadry]

We'll probably get some other windfalls in January as well, they'll have fuck all to do with cup comps though and we'll see none of it

 

[Blade56]

Plans are afoot to explain how it was spent and not avaiable to the manager

 

[stannyblade]

We will still sell the best players. Oh wait we havent got any good ones left.

 

[super_pig]

hopefully they won't spend the money fixing the fax machine

 

[Esablade]

Well that's Hammond covered!

 

[Blade58]

Should cover James Wallace's medical bills..................just!

 

[Barry Butlin]

Think the Club should put free coach travel on, can anyone have a word with Rooks?

 

[MobileBlade]

You're right looking at last years 3rd round tie versus Cambridge adult prices were between £31 and £53 so my figures are way below!!

The entry price for BDTBL is between £19 and £24 for Adults but the average ticket price received, after concessions are taken into account, is around £12.

 

[Barry Butlin]

Its not at Bramall Lane?

 

[MobileBlade]

Just further to this, Man U matchday revenue last season was £90.6 million which works out at £42 per person per game but this includes catering revenues etc. Not sure what the ticket revenue was but matchday operating costs are around £600,000 per game. At a rough guess, I think you would be talking about just over £1 million from the game.

 

[MobileBlade]

Its not at Bramall Lane?

I went in the 70's. Nope.

Think the Club should put free coach travel on, can anyone have a word with Rooks?

Why should they? I mean yeah free travel is always welcomed but the game is a stone throw over the pennines and will be played at a sensible time on the weekend therefore in theory there is no feasible reason why the club should put on free travel.

The game is optional with more than enough incentive to go, no dispespect to you OP but I don't see where you are coming from with this comment.

 

[Barry Butlin]

Just thought its a huge amount of income that they weren't expecting, so as a gesture of goodwill why not?

No disrespect to the coaches at the lane but it's like walking through a church going on one of them, you can't even fart without someone looking at you gone out. Anyway, I've got enough money to get my own travel from the savings I got by not going to Oldham

I tried that with HMRC, but they politely declined

Is there a tie raffle? Will it be a half and half, football friends across the Pennines sort of commemorative tie?

Count me in! It will go with my half and half scarf and matching official not match worn half'n'half commerorative shirt!

 

[Hollinsend]

Anyone know when the date of the match gets fixed?

 

[Ted Danson]

Nice little windfall in January, we get 45% of gate receipts from Old Trafford based on 77,000 x £25 average per ticket!

Is that a realistic crowd figure though? (Ive no idea what they normally get for a low key 3rd round tie)

I just cant imagine that we're a big enough draw to get 65K Manure fans through the gates

 

[Barry Butlin]

Man Utd fans have to sign up for FA Cup tickets as part of the Season ticket conditions!

 

[Whiston Blade]

Man Utd fans have to sign up for FA Cup tickets as part of the Season ticket conditions!

Very true and a bloody shitty policy. But the club has their fans by the balls, the waiting list is so big that they dare not lose their ST.

 

[CarlingBlade]

What if its on the Monday night or a 12.00pm Sunday Kick Off, will it put fans off travelling?

 

[Ashtonsmashton]

Considering we'll be the only fans there, we won't get too much money

 

[judge]

Isnt sad what gets blades excited nowadays ?

 

[Sean Thornton]

It's already £1.5 million in Blades FACTS.
