Havant & Waterlooville

[Craig_H]

I think the TV schedulers will have to do something about it now. It's a dream Cup tie and every genuine football fan will want to see it. Total FA Cup romance.

Correct.

You dont get any more 'david v goliath' than this.

Too right. On the first look, Stags v Boro is a good cup tie, but compare it to this one and it pales in comparison.

The only way this would be shown on telly was if it was in Havant's home ground hence more revenue for Havant.

It might be shown but they might move the fixture to a Friday night as we are playing the Hammers in mid-week.

H&W would still make a relatively enormous sum of money from their cut of 45,000 gate receipts.

As much as being at home?

[Craig_H]

As much as being at home?

Of course. They'll get 50% of the ticket receipts.

[Craig_H]

£25 x 42,000 (allowing for segregation) = £1,050,000.

Over half a million for Havant there.

£25 x 42,000 (allowing for segregation) = £1,050,000.

Plus of course their cut of the TV money if the game is televised. They'll be ****ing rolling in it. A great boost for them.

Is it 50%? I thought it is proportionate depending on the percentage allowed from the away section. As you said it was 15% so it would be £157,500

Yeah of course. I was more making the point that the gate receipts will make them more than tv money alone would do.

Put the two together mind, and they'll be minted. Probably guarantees their future for a good while.

everyone forgetting the FA facist cunts will want their share as well?

No mate. They get 15% of the ticket allocation. They get 50% of the ticket money.

Competition Rule 26) for the control and recording of match receipts. A clear audit trail
must be available from the documentation to the entries recorded on the Statement of

Good point. How much do they get?

Do they get a share of the ticket receipts as well as the potential tv revenue???
