What was the attendance tonight?

[Thunder Bolt]

Think the gate money is pooled and divided between the 4 semi-finalists.

Therefore our gate was a very creditable............ 7,415.

I thought that was the Wembley receipts.

I thought that was the Wembley receipts.

I think that the semi final gate receipts are pooled and split amongst the 4 clubs, but the entire Wembley gate receipts go to the loser by tradition.

That was my understanding.

 

[backson]

That would just encourage thoughtless urination.

Ah, there you see, I'm very thoughtful with mine

Football league gets 50% of the semi final gate receipts, The four clubs get 12.5% each.

The FL also get 50% of the final receipts and the clubs get 25% each. Not sure if we cut a deal with Watford last year but I remember West ham turning down our offer of 'loser takes all' in 2004.

The net gate receipts in the semi finals is pocket change after allowable deductions are made. There is normally a "gentleman's agreement" between the two clubs that the losing finalist at Wembley is given the winners share of the net final receipts.

They never announced the crowd figure against Palarse last year either

On a related subject, what is the point of having seats in the south-east corner? When were the last time they were used? They are always part of the sterile area. If they're not going to be used for the biggest game of the season then why not just remove them.

They will be used for RWC. Other than that they were part of that rubbish plan to put away fans round the corner. Think the area is required for away fans in case of a full allocation taken in an fa cup game.

The intention is to have enough seats (plus the 2 blocks in ESL) for a cup game where the away side takes the maximum 15% allocation. There have been games this season where the number of away fans could have been put into the SEC rather than the South Stand.

Aye it's no wonder the net gains are so small with the FL taking 50%.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Yes they did, 100% certain.

 

[Grombleton]

You're quite right. What a waste. Instead I'd like to see some shrubbery and ornamentals with maybe some hanging baskets.

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

..,,a small water feature would be nice

How about a few weeping Reading fans?
