. . . . .but will be routing for Exeter this afternoon, nothing against Blackpool - would just prefer they stay in league 2 so we can have another cracking away day/weekend next season - purely selfish I know but come on you Grecians!!:)

P.s. Darren England is the ref so anything could happen, you'd think they'd have a decent one for the final :rolleyes:
 
I'm guessing here, Macca, but does that mean the 'parachute payment' that would have gone to Blackpool for being relegated last season is now divvied up between the rest of League 2?

I took it that he was joking as there are only parachute payments for those relegated from the EPL. EFL clubs only get a share of the unused ones where the team gets promoted to the EPL again.


Edit
It appears that there are now parachute payments in the EFL but only for a year and they are pitiful so makes no difference. Unless it changed again

might get it if we were run by the oystons or some other dodgy foreign guy. we could be leyton orient fans remember. anyone who criticeses andy holt should remember this.
 
Yeah, I understand for their home games as they don't want to line Oyston's pockets but if it was us don't think I'd be able to resist seeing us play at Wembley

little off topic i know but for the statto,s out there apart from us which of the 92 present teams in the premier, championship or football league have never played at wembley even when they were non league.
 
Newcastle would have banked 55% of the equal share given to all PL clubs last season, that equates to around £21m

Next season they give up their 45% share - £17m

The system for dishing it was that Championship clubs shared 80%, L1 shared 12% and L2 shared 8% ... our share would be around £60k

I just assumed it was the same throughout the leagues but obviously to a lower degree
