Horsham do it again..

[Ryan.c]

...their replay at Swansea will be live on Sky. How many non-league clubs get their FA Cup games at league opposition shown live? Jammy [****!!****]!

[Andrew Turner]

I don't understand that perhaps they are feeling bad for not showing the mighty Blues in the 1st Round.

 

I would have predicted them showing Chasetown v Port Vale

[Keith.P]

cookie crumbles and all that. We had our moment (and a damn fine moment it was too).

 

However the bish bosh that Horsham will make from 2 TV games and gate receipts at Swansea could turn them into quite a powerful force.

 

But yeah...They are jammy jim jams

 

Good luck to 'em though

 

[Keith.P]

Actually, i wonder whether this has anything to do with the fact that the Swansea fans kicked up a stink as to why our game was not shown live. I think they were inkling on the lines of Swansea never get a live cup game and petitioned and wrote to TV etc. So, it could be as much a climb down by the chaps at the FA aimed to pacify them over the border. Either way, Horsham are the real winners.

[finisterre]

Fair play to Horsham, but I do worry that a couple of clubs receiving large wads does unbalance the league a bit.

 

Still, I suppose I wouldn't be moaning if it were us. I guess it's just a reward for success, and that all teams have an equal shot at it.

[Ian Blockhead]

They will be almost as rich as Chelmo!

[Balmoral Claret]

Not quite IB - we must bear in mind that the £75K TV money will go to Swansea for the replay. Horsham will only pick up an estimated £50K share of the gate money + the £24K prize money for winning the replay!

[Keith.P]

I thought both clubs picked up wonga for live TV games??. The home side may pick up a tad more, but would still expect Horsham to gain a nice TV pay day all the same.

[Rick the Dick]

Yep. I'm sure I read somewhere recently that the TV money is £150k, which is split straight down the middle.

 

 

[Ian Blockhead]

With you on that one Keith. I understand it's £75k for home and away team.

[Balmoral Claret]

Wow!!!!! - then they WILL be as rich as Chelmo then!
