In the absence of gate money, it becomes about TV or prize money - so it’s home to Premier League or home to something very winnable.
We could always cover both options JB...
...Palace, Brighton or... erm...
...Fulham...(they won't fancy a penalty shootout)...!
No need to thank me JB, but the famous "curse" worked in their favour...!
"Dirty Leeds" - as I used to always inform my old boss - is their official name... He is a LUFC fanatic & I am sure that my ingrained antipathy towards them never benefitted my career.

I really hope we are on live tv so we don’t miss out on the money. Looking at the FA website the 3rd round winners get £82,000 so maybe we might have been better off getting one of the non league teams. Fingers crossed.
Yep certainly a case for thinking of pride money over anything else, I also had a winnable tie as a high priority. Proper TV money (and by that I mean actually on TV not just on the iplayer) may well yield more than the prize money.
+£20,500 as losers so £95,500 minimum before we even kick a ball - hopefully Leeds will say keep the gate receipts as it’s peanuts to them in premier financial terms
