Challenge cup prize money : Mon Aug 31, 2015 4:11 pm  

Does anybody know how much the prize money was for the winners and runners up? How much has appearing in a final boosted the clubs coffers.

When we got there in 2013 it was reported we made £250,000 from making the final but I think that had merchandise money's involved



Nice distraction tactics as well DD

I think I read somewhere its 50K for runners up. The bigger £ comes from the 15% share of the Wembley gate plus all the Merchandise etc. I reckon we won't be far off 500k by the time it's all added up.

It's cushioning the blow a little, providing it's used wisely.

Got to dig deep to find some positives.
My coffers are well down but other than the result I had a great weekend with the family.

A couple of quality forwards would be a start.
