How much money Leeds United Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol Rovers could earn from Carabao Cup
Are both Bristol clubs up for the Carabao Cup? Here’s the financial rewards teams get for progressing.
Bristol City and Bristol Rovers are in Carabao Cup action on Wednesday night – but how much will a run be worth?
they won in pre-season but for Rovers, Ipswich’s big-spending this summer makes a win more favourable for them.
Is there any prize money at stake though for either City or Rovers? The blunt answer is no. The EFL and its sponsors do not offer prize money for wins in each round
up until the semi-final.
It’s not to say that money won’t be made in the competition but it won’t come in the form of prize money.
Bristol City have a home match which should see them bring some money and their tickets are priced from £10 from an adult in the South Stand to £15 in the
Lansdown Stand. 65+ and U22’s are £8 in the South Stand whilst U19’s are £5. In the Dolman Stand, 65+ and U22’s are £10 and U19’s £5, meanwhile in the
Lansdown Stand tickets are priced at £10 for 65+ and U22 and £5 for U19’s. The Upper Lansdown Stand however is closed for this fixture.
Rovers however are away but whatever the attendance is at Portman Road, each club will get 45% of the gate with the remaining 10% going to the EFL. The best bet
of getting some income through the Carabao Cup is by progressing and drawing one of the big teams. Ashton Gate sold out when Manchester City came in the
Emirates FA Cup, and if either City or Rovers can progress then they could draw Chelsea, who aren’t in Europe this season.
Neither City nor Rovers have been chosen for television but games chosen for television in round two are £75,000 and in round three it is £100,000 and then so on
it is £125,000. If both Bristol clubs can progress then there is the potential of a money-spinner of an all-Bristol affair.
The two sides have been separated since a win for City in the EFL Trophy back in 2012, and for sure it would be great to see the two face off again with both teams
with ambitious plans for the season. If both teams progress to the second round then they could face the 12 Premier League eams not involved in European
competition, and those ties will be played on the week commencing Monday, August 28.
