Deloitte report assessing the financial impact of The FA Cup reveals:
£650m earned by clubs in the past 10 years Crawley Town receive
£1m pay day from single FA Cup tie
As excitement builds ahead of The FA Cup with Budweiser Fourth Round Proper,
the financial impact of the competition has been revealed in a new report by the Sports Business
Group at Deloitte.
The season has not yet begun, and four football clubs with proud histories have had to either
resign from their leagues or have been consigned to the history books altogether.
Not many people will bat an eyelid as another five clubs are added to the ever growing number of
clubs who've faced financial trouble in recent times (Merthyr Town, Chester FC, FC Halifax Town and
Ilkeston to name but a few teams), but to the fans of these clubs these problems matter.
