No one at the FA probably anticipated a club coming in a figure less than this sum, as they are too busy putting unwanted £15,000 watches into a drawer.
It is a shock indeed!
Other clubs seem happy to whore themselves for the money that the TV coverage brings. FCUM politely declined to take the additional revenue. If they had taken it when the match was initially chosen they would have been (rightfully) accused of hypocrisy.
A season ticket...
Such as.............
Roses are red
Violets are blue
FCUM are wonderful
AFC Wimbledon are too
Vote Labour, Vote Labour
Drink real ale and savour
The Clash's Greatest hits
The Tories are tits
FCUM's aim is to keep prices as low as possible, which is why they charge only £9 to watch a match. I suspect that if admission prices were £10 it would make very little difference, but they've costed out the season, and aim to break even on £9.
Your argument is similar to that of Arsenal in...
Err.......it's only a pound difference.
The FA might therefore get about an extra £300.
Compared to the amount they spunked on the World Cup bid, or the near £800 million on the white elephant that is Wembley, it is insignificant.
