I think it was around £750,000 Would be closer to a million now taking inflation into account.

The Mirror has published a Stones feature today that suggests that the club has pocketed £600,000 from its FA cup run from prize money and tv rights. Add to that 45% of gate receipts for all the ties. Wonder what that totals. This was my best guess if we go out on Monday. TV fees so far £225,000. Prize money £351,375 Gate receipts £125,000? Total = £701,375 + 45% of gate receipts for next game. Suppose £15 a head times 20,000 = £300,000 x 0.45 = £135,000? Potentially £836,375 minus tax. Total gates for all rounds was 67,302, so working on £15 a head that comes out at at just over £454,000 as our 45% share. Add that to the £576,000 from known prize money and tv appearance payments and we have around £1,030,000. Tax needs to come off that, but don't forget that around 2500 people who don't normally attend games turned out for Stevenage, Ipswich and/or Coventry, so I expect the club shop will have done well in selling scarves and hats etc. For me the key thing here is how to use this impetus to sustain the club going forward, and I think it's about getting good numbers into the ground and get them spending there. There are plenty of watering holes and places to eat in town before a game, perhaps if the club were to invest in catering and toilets infrastructure there's an opportunity to generate more income by making the ground an equally attractive place to eat and drink without queueing for lengthy periods?

£15 a head (average) is probably ott given the number of concessions.

Minor correction, non league clubs drawn against premier or football league clubs from round 3 onwards get the fa’s 10% so for rounds 3 to 5 we get 55%.

And Ipswich was a tenner Yep, on reflection my ball park £15 as an average was maybe a bit high, but given daveu's update about us getting 55% of the gate from rounds 3, 4 and 5 (combined attendance 58.154) and add something for top rate tickets in corporate packages and we're probably not far off.

Trust daveu to chuck in a 'low baller'. How can he possibly know obscure minute detail about such things ? So annoying !

A further minor point about the club's share of the Coventry gate receipts: we now know that the attendence was 26,850: the assumed £15 per head might be slightly overstated but we have no better number as yet; assuming that the average income per head includes VAT so reducing the £15 to £12.50 net of VAT; the gate receipts net of VAT would be £336,000; then the costs of staging the game including Maidstone's expenses should deducted, I do not know what that might total but say the net receipts after expenses were £300,000: then Maidstone's 55% would be £165,000. If these numbers are about right then the club's share of the gate receipts would still be better than Yorkshirestone's original estimate.

Brilliant we can build a new security cabin as this one is a month old and needs replacing.

This bleeding security cabin; for crying out loud it's not the 1950s, with cctv and instant communiation via phone/radio. I looked and found this from the FA and specifically about the NL system. www.nwcfl.com/league_admin/club_resources/stadium-safety-in-the-national-league-system---updated.pdf (page 19) For me, the bold bit below could mean the raised area where Stones TV sit. Just needs a vantage point for one person with a radio and or a phone to be positioned.
