With us finishing a definate 4th, what is it worth in terms of financial reward?

Let's hope that whatever it is, can be used to develop the squad and to retain 'the special one'.... :?: :?: :?:

Doodly Squat, apparently. No prize money based on final places apart from maybe 1st and 2nd (I know 1st and 2nd get a paltry sum in League 1).
However, there is % of gate money from playoff matches and fees from SKY for televised matches, which gives us far bigger financial rewards than Rochdale - particularly if we go all the way.............

How much are Sky likely to pay for televising the games?

How does it work in terms of gate receipts also? Is it split 3 ways like the FA cup or do we keep the money for the home leg and visa versa? I am guessing around £60K for a full house at CP?

Whatever the prize money is, they have gained just making the play-offs than not doing and that on its own is one hell of a achievement for the Shrimps :D

Quite right!

No monetary value can be placed on the club reaching it's highest ever league finish, and in the last season at the ground... a fitting way to mark the 'End of an Era'.
