£75,000 For Coverage

The FA have confirmed that the Bulls will receive £75,000 for Sky's live coverage of the match with Leeds United.

In previous seasons, the BBC have paid more than Sky for coverage of individual games. However all payouts now come from the FA's "Broadcast Fund" which pays each televised First Round club £75,000, regardless of channel or whether they are the home or away club.

The £75,000 fee is also applicable for the Second Round, but doubles for the Third and Fourth Rounds.

The game is a potential goldmine for the club, with a full house expected at Edgar Street. The Bulls' share of the gate receipts could be worth up to £30,000 and a replay at Elland Road could see the 'luck of the draw' earn the club an unexpected total of £250,000.
