Sorry if been covered already but what money do the champions of the conference receive ? And what do the winners of the playoffs receive bearing in mind gate receipts/merchandise for Wembley etc etc?

When I first saw the title of your post Chris, I was thinking, wow, you're getting ahead of yourself - you've only just got to the final of the Icenian prediction tournament and you're looking for a financial reward already?  

I was thinking the same thing, i wonder if the teams that go up via play offs get more? i THINK they do, but obviously who'd seriously slip up 1st place on purpose for a few extra quid in the lottery of the play offs  

That's why i asked Lukeo, Who knows but behind the scenes the playoffs maybe the preferred option for financial reasons, But that comes with risks obviously!  

Thing with automatic is you are guaranteed a minimum of 900k increase in revenue plus I think if you get relegated straight back you get a cushion of 250k first year? The increase in away fans alone must be worth a lot of money to a Club like Town who are Geographically out on a limb.Town and Bristol Rovers need League football and for that reason I hope they are the 2 who make it this time around but I just don't have faith in us winning the Play Offs because Hursts record in games that really matter is poor at best.C`mon Paul prove the doubters wrong and hundreds like me will be buying Season tickets.UTM

Conference champions receive £15,

Winners of play offs get ( after wembley take their cut ) £22.50p

It depends how many people go to Wembley. Barnet have only 2 stops on the tube so they'd take a few. Can't see Eastleigh or FGR taking many. Bristol Rovers v Grimsby would be very well attended I imagine.

The gate receipts for the playoff final get shred with other clubs in the league don't they?

i imagine it says in here somewhere. sorry, i can not be arsed to read through it - http://www.footballconference.co.uk/uploads/docs/RULES%20FOR%202014-15.pdf

My understanding is 40% go to each club, with the remaining 20% going into paying for hire of Wembley and back into the football family (whatever that may be). Gate receipts, based on a crowd of 60000, averaging £20 a ticket (okay, pretty much plucked that out of the air!) would be £1.2m alone so £480000k into the coffers.

I think you're pushing it with 60,000!

You say a gate of 60k but the record Conference attendance is 49k.

IF it is us against Rovers, I would see 40,000 for them and 20,000 for us.  Rovers have had 40,000 fans before at Wembley.  They might also think that they will win the Promotion Final.

I think that we would take a maximum of 20,000 fans.  More important game than the last visits,  and better weather in mid-May.  The downside is that fairweather fans can watch the game on TV.

I think that BP Vicar's £480K is a good total to aim for our coffers for for planning purposes. I remember that some tickets were £50 for our first visit to the new Wembley.  £20 is probably a bit on the low side for an average ticket price.  Helpful if some rich Rovers fans but expensive tickets.

I would still rather have a much lower attendance and income against another team, as long as we win!

Barnet only had 2,200 on Sat for a key game so how many would they take?  Despite being very close to Wembley.

I think Bristol Rovers would take 40k, we would take 20k maybe? I don't think that's unrealistic.
