Exeter Vs Man Utd Replay

[Fleetbabe]

Interesting, this comes from the BBC website:

 

Exeter will earn another £150,000 from their FA Cup tie with Manchester United after being told the replay at St James Park will be screened live by the BBC.

The Grecians held United in the third round at Old Trafford on Saturday.

 

The Conference side will pick up a total of £750,000 from both games - enough to wipe out their debt.

 

If Exeter do manage to pull off a shock victory on 19 January, they will become the first non-League side to beat a top-flight club in the Cup since 1989.

 

The Devon club are finalising ticket arrangements for the game, knowing their 9,000-capacity ground cannot even accommodate the number of fans who travelled to Manchester.

 

Despite this, Exeter officials have vowed not to increase prices above normal Conference levels.

How many of those that will be at the game in the Exeter end wont be Exeter regulers?

[Jimmy]

Like all the Yeading fans I saw on Sunday.

[Bate'o]

I do think it is good of Exeter to keep the ticket prices the same as any other game though.

 

There must have been quite a temptation to double the normal price.

 

Well done Exeter!

i bet most of those who travelled up to old trafford were really so called man utd supporters but claimed to b so called exeter fans. all the best in replay.

[Fleetbabe]

I just thought it was interesting, I mean, how long would it have taken them to clear that debt, had they not got lucky in the third round draw?

[gnfcmightymole]

they woundn't i think it would've got worse

[Fleetbabe]

so they would have gone bust then?

 

The good old FA Cup, keeping clubs like Exeter alive, with ties against sides playing the likes of Smith, Scholes and Ronaldo. The youngsters didn't do much better!!

No they would not, they are in a CVA which gives them tiem to pay off the 10% of their debts that weren't written off. The FA Cup money will reduce the time scale for the repayment of these debts.
