Whilst posting on NSC I have been listening to the Politics show (Prescott is on it talking about regional assemblies)
There was an item about the FA halving prize money for winning the first stages of the FA cup.
As a lot of non-league clubs need every penny they can get, how can the FA justify this?
IE Gainsborough have won the 4th round qualifier to be able to play against Brentford in the 1st round proper.
Prize money 2002 £20,000
Prize money 2003 £10,000
1st round proper 2002 £20,000
1st round proper 2003 £12.500 (that includes us)
BUT the prize money for winning the cup has gone up to 2 million
Surely the prize money should benefit the grass roots clubs more than the already rich Premiership clubs (who are far more likely to get to the final)
