    It's welcome crumbs. Although of course it'll largely go on wages. Burton have a humble ground so they could choose to make some modest ground improvements.

    26 clubs get to divide between them the total one club in the PL gets for one season even if they end up finishing bottom and parachute payments

    26 clubs? Will it not be 72?

    I wondered who would be the first to spot my deliberate error. Well done, Ben.:emoticon-0148-yes:

    I actually started off by typing 24 thinking of the Championship, then realised it was all 3 divisions. How I ended up putting 26 is a conundrum,the answer to which I will probably never know. Shape-shifting aliens?

    Sky needed that with its new channels.

    It's actually quite nice, the Pirelli stadium. Much better than their old place.

    I was there last season against QPR and at least they have a ticket office, unlike 'some' clubs!

    As there is £180 million to be distributed amongst 72 clubs it will vary from not a lot down to very little.
    Of course this is relative, not so many years ago it would have paid to run a club for a year.

    Indeed it would have.
    Not sure how it's split up now.

    I would imagine something like

    55% Champ
    30% League 1
    15% League 2

    The Championship get way more than the other leagues, they currently get a basic award of £2.084m, then a solidarity payment of £4.3m, then £100k for each televised game. League Two clubs only get £900k...
