Do we get any TV money for both Mansfield games, and final I wonder ?

We should do, we're providing the entertainment.

I think we picked up £170K for the two semi-final games from the broadcasts, HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure the FA rules are different for the final and I think we only get 25% of the gate with NO TV money.

Where do you get this information from?

I'm sure I heard in the past that there is some kind of sharing of money between all 4 teams that make the play-offs. Not sure what elements are shared but someone did tell me that in years gone by.

EFL Rules and Regulations relating to the Play Off Final

To be clear, I am not sure. However if 7.8 means that no television money is payed to the clubs then the wording 'any match' would seem to cover the two semi-final ties.

Are you not sure that you're sure or are you sure that you're not sure? My reading of that is there's no TV money.

My reading (although not entirely clear) was that tv money is paid but is entirely separate and not taken into account when working out the distribution of match money between the 4 clubs under the above rules.

It is one of the two. I have no idea which.

We need to get a lawyer onto it

Quite. It's a lousy piece of drafting.

I don't think that is the case when you read the whole of the regulations. 'any match' refers to the three play off finals (one for each division) as this is in the drafting under the heading for section 7 which deals exclusively with the playoff finals. Section 6 covers the semi-finals in which the television broadcasting and facility fees are covered in 6.4 with similar but different wording.

Read as a whole they make more sense despite the probable errors in 7.4. Seeing them properly formatted helps understanding as well. Although they could be much clearer.

Firstly thank you for posting.

It may be me but having read all I am little better informed. If I had to choose I'd go for no TV money but I am not sure.

Also I smiled reading that clubs could claim back hotel expenses if the journey was more than five hours. Utterly pointless provision. If say we played Carlisle we could claim hotel expenses from them but of course they could claim hotel expenses from us.

Last time I checked the distance between Carlisle and Newport is exactly the same as the distance between Newport and Carlisle.

Actually its 6.5 miles more traveling back from carlisle
