Victory Tonight Could Be Worth £200,000K for Bulls


A victory for Hereford United this evening in their second round FA Cup replay against Cheltenham Town could be worth around £200,000 for the Conference club.

Firstly, win or lose, gate receipts this evening should bring in £30,000.

Secondly a win tonight is worth £27,000 in prize money.

Thirdly the TV fee for a third round game against Everton would net £135,850.

And finally gate receipts from a third round tie could be worth around £35,000 as Everton would be more likely to sell their allocation of tickets than Cheltenham Town.

Even better for the Bulls would be a replay at Everton. Gate receipts for a game at Goodison Park might be worth another £200,000.

So there's lot riding on tonight's game.

However manager Martin Foyle won't be too down-hearted if the Bulls are defeated.

"If we do lose I'm not going to get too down-hearted because the FA Cup has been very good to the club financially," Foyle told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"But we certainly going out to win it, we're going to be giving it our all.

"The fans are behind us and the dream tie is there if we want it." 

And former Bull, Ricky George, has some words for tonight's squad.

"It's an opportunity to be on the big stage.

"The prize is enormous.

"A third round tie at home to Everton who are fourth in the Premier League."
