Article not yet up on GrimsbyLive but back page of the Telegraph today Jason Stockwood says promotion was probably worth around £1M.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

He said that on the Humberside interview on Saturday what a disgrace the paper as become it’s always 5 days behind the fishy. Years ago they where the front runners on breaking news now have to rely on radio reports and the fishy to source their information

Still good news though.

Did anyone post it?

Will delete if they did.

Yeah but 1m these days is equivalent to a 5 pound note! All good of course I wonder how much promotion is worth to league 1. A lot less than that.

Actually it’s technically worth more than that.

If we had stayed down we would have got a final parachute payment of around £225,000 followed by nothing.

By winning promotion we get the full EFL TV money (£450,000), the PL solidarity payment of around £625,000 and even if were relegated immediately we’d then get 2 parachute payments of £450,000 and £225,000.

And that’s before you consider increased attendances etc…

So you mean that instead of worrying about turning a measly profit for zero benefit, a little speculation, some time and investment, a few gambles here and there and so forth we’ve actually benefitted greatly…

This point is where the local rag falls down - rather than pose a follow up question, or go into any more detail, it simply recites what it has heard on the radio, which a decent chunk of town fans have already heard thanks to bbc sounds, twitter and er... their radios!

(Awaits golly being quoted there later this week)

Have you got a fiver you can lend me?










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Yes and when you see this in today's gossip column on the BBC adds further testimony to that:

Manchester United's Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, has received an offer of 300m euros (£254m) to play for two seasons for a club in Saudi Arabia. (TVI and CNN Portuguesa via AS - in Spanish)

The point JS made alongside this is more important - we are not having to compete with Wrexham and I guess to a lesser extent Chesterfield and Notts. When there is only 1 automatic and 1 play-off promotion the budget differences are more significant than when there are 4 promotion places.
