The Emirates FA Cup Season 2024-25 Payments made from The FA's prize fund First round proper winners (40) £45,000 First round proper losers (40) £15,000 Second round proper winners (20) £75,000 Second round proper losers (20) £20,000 Third round proper winners (32) £115,000 Third round proper losers (32) £25,000 Fourth round proper winners (16) £120,000 Fifth round proper winners (8) £225,000 Quarter-final winners (4) £450,000 Semi-final winners (2) £1,000,000 Semi-final losers (2) £500,000 Final runners-up (1) £1,000,000 Final winners (1) £2,000,000 Amounts are per club in each round. Numbers in brackets represent the number of clubs receiving the respective payment per round. Why does there need to be a prize fund? The amounts are chicken feed for the big clubs who are going to make up the entire composition of the later rounds most likely, yet it’s big money to the small clubs who need it most. The FA should be focusing on the financial health of the game as a whole not rewarding big clubs with money they will barely notice. The money should be spent on grass roots, improving facilities in villages, towns and cities all over the country to increase opportunities to play in all weathers and provide better spectator comfort too. A very noble cause. Would you trust the FA to deliver on that cause? |

I think there needs to be the financial incentive to take the competition seriously and for clubs to progress as far as they can. The thing I think could change is the complete random and luck reliant income for lower league clubs - Maybe Bury FC could have been drawn away to Man U and remained in existence? I believe 50% of gate receipts go to the away side in the FA Cup - great if you have the good fortune to get a top away draw and even better if selected for live tv coverage. Why not share all gate receipts and tv money for each round between those that participated in that particular round? Would be a lot fairer for clubs at our level and below. |

How about having a multiplier? £2m is peanuts for a prem team nowadays, so there isn't really any incentive for them. So why not have a multiplier approach. So if it's £20k for round 1. The league side gets a multiplier of 1x but non league side get a multiplier of 1.25. Then as the smaller clubs go through the competition then their multiplier increases. |

I'm sure they will find a reason to put Wrexham on and there it is!!! although i'm not sure of the reason given its a L2 v L1 tie other than they are hoping some celebs will turn up so they can spend most of the match filming them? Would also have rather seen Curzon Ashton v Mansfield |

I'm sure they will find a reason to put Wrexham on The reason being of course is that people are interested in them, and Salford too. And they are interesting tales of rags to relative riches, whether one likes it or not. There's no conspiracy to keep us off the screen. No but its bloody boring to keep sticking them on. Even Salford fans cant be bothered to watch them. Dont mind us not being on TV just wish they wouldn't be on every other week |

Sadly if BBC owns the rights for the game though then they’ll make an absolute fortune out of it |

Money talks though as you say, yet they will still talk about the magic of the cup! |

I'm guessing that there is unlikely to be a live stream available anywhere...

Wonder how they'll handle tickets, specifically, and I hate to bring this up, those who have a physical Season Ticket card?

Would be a lot fairer for clubs at our level and below. 45% to each club with 10% to the FA to be redistributed throughout the pyramid. |

Assuming a 12,500 capacity that’s 1,875. Is that more than the normal allocation for league games? Either way I can see that Weston could sell 3,000 tickets and so it might just make sense to give them the South Stand, if the segregation fence can be moved along. |

It's an interesting point, if you buy a ticket will it be added to your season ticket, whether that be an electronic or physical one, or do you need another electronic or physical ticket for cup games? |

That's not really what I meant. If you don't have access to Wallet and have therefore paid the £15 to have a physical card, how do you get an FA Cup ticket? Go to the Club shop? |
