and was wondering how this might be affected by the potential increase in Sky TV money for 2016/17? ie it's been banded about that worldwide rights could potentially increase by as much as 70% and this would filter down from the Premiership to League 2.
What I'm confused about is the difference between the Sky? solidarity payment, (is this TV rights?), the Football League payment and the Youth Development payment. Which is which, where does each pot of money come from and could anyone give 'current figures' of these amounts from FL Championship, FL 1 and FL 2?
At present I'm guessing that for League 2 these are about £440K, £250K and £180K but obviously I'd like to hear some more knowledgeable replies. Living in an area where level 5 football has become the norm. - and with so many teams seeming to really struggle getting back to the League - are the likes of Lincoln City, Grimsby Town and many others, (without any consolidation payments), be coming up against next years relegated teams with what could be £440K + 70% = £748K + some youth money?
Obviously stand to be corrected etc. and know there's quite a bit to take in and reply to but would be very interested in views. In my books £748K as a head start equates to an 'overall average' £10 ticket which would mean about 3,200 extra folk through the gate for each home game, as a bonus! (Do realise there are other expenses at clubs but then they all have these).
