How do televised games pay in the EFL Cup?
Mind you if Look North have their way our semi-final won't be televised.
What are you realistically expecting from our League Cup run?
- Thread starter northernrower
- Start date

Its raised our profile which could help with recruitment in 11 days time.
The cash from two semi final legs will hopefully give is some funds for January too.
Lenihan and Smith out for the season means we need at least two January signings/loans. We took on three last season and I can see that as a minimum this season.
Who ever we get in the semis it will be very difficult to progress as there are 3 top half Premier League teams who want to get to the Final.

I would imagine we keep the home leg TV fee, plus there are commercial up lifts from sponsors.
In total I would think it could be worth at least £2m for us.

The winner of the EFL Cup gets about £100,000.
The entire 5 year deal for the entirety of the EFL is only £935m in the next cycle.
It'll probably be a million or less, if that, which is still a decent chunk considering we could be getting nothing.

You’ll make much more than that, just for having the game. Even allowing for Gibson’s point that he only makes about a tenner a ticket 30,000 is £300,000. And some of them drink beer so that must be about half a million.

And the answer to the first question is that I expect we win the b****d. I’m not going to call for anyone to be lynched if we don’t, but we’re in the last four. Don’t supporters aspire to something a bit special anymore?

You’re probably right. I know it used to be the case with the FA Cup.

It probably is the right time to play them and go for the giant kill.

Realism and Aspiration are quite different words - aren't they?
I aspire to win too.
Three decent loan players would be very useful and thats maybe something we can now do, that we couldn't afford before the Port Vale game.
Chelsea - home leg - my guesses
30,500 - £20 average ticket price is £615,000
Other fan purchases say £7 times 31,500 is £220,500 (Food and drink, programme, merchandise, stadium car parking)
Commercial boxes/packages etc - £150,000 (1,000 fans @ £150)
Sponsors/advertising revenue for this game - £300,000
SkyTV/Radio money - £800,000 - the new Sky Broadcasting deal Sky are paying around £10m per Premier League game, but I think they have overseas rights.
Overseas Broadcasts - ?
Carabao Sponsors money - ?
There are costs putting on a game.
I am happy for others opinions.

You never know in football.
If Chelsea underestimate us and start cold then on our day we are capable of scoring 2 or 3 quick goals. Whether we would hang on over 2 legs is another question.
Then if we did and got to the final then anything could happen.
I have zero expectations.

To still be in with a shout by the time the 2nd leg kicks off. if we then get the hammer 4 or 5 fair enough, but at least to try and have right go the first leg.
