We would have got something for the overseas coverage tonight too...

Is the League 2 Progress Fund still happening? I can see reference to it from 2019 and 2020 but nothing since.

Quoted from DaleH

From the first round to the 5th round, including the TV money we are going to receive for the Southampton game, we have earned income of £458,000. This does not include any revenue received from gate receipts both home and away.

In terms of what the gate receipt money looks like, that is essentially an equal share of the total ticket sales for each match, less VAT, less the travelling expenses of the Visiting Club (possibly accommodation depending on travelling distance rules), less the fees and expenses of the Match Officials, and less other match expenses allowed under the competition rules.  Expenses which include costs relating to gate attendants, turnstile operators, stewards, police charges, and floodlighting costs.

So all very positive stuff, aside from the uncertainty relating to the share of ticket sales less VAT and costs. I remember walking to the Luton game at Kenilworth Road and thinking to myself that the huge number of Police in attendance must have cost Luton Town a fortune. It isn't inconceivable that a highly policed fixture like that one might actually end up with zero money being paid to the visitors, because the costs might actually drive the fixture into a near breakeven or loss. I'd love to know. The rules though are very clear, that whilst the gate receipt profits are shared equally, if the fixture ends up as a net loss, then it is the home team that has to carry that loss.

It’s not about the money for me. I want triangle corner flags and Dynamo Kyiv away in Europa League qualifying!

Quoted from jamesgtfc

We got overseas TV money for the Burton game and last night too.

I can't see any evidence to suggest the Progress Fund that Golly says we've got is still being dished out. If it is then great but I'm not so certain that it is.

Benfica won't be up for a cold Thursday night game in spitting distance of the north sea.  We can take these foreign chancers!

Caught the first 2 minutes of a Jason interview on burnsy show RH ......... 1st question  was something like "what does last night's result mean to a club like Grimsby " .......... answer was means we won't lose as much money this year...

It was like Jason was reigning us in and saying we aren't sitting on a pot of transfer money
