Is it true Talbot could make in excess of £80,000 for the cup tie v Ayr ?
Phenomenal amount of money if true for a Junior club and should secure Talbots status as the nbr 1 Junior team for years to come
I’d doubt it will be quite as much. Us fans will never know the total amount though.
Allegedly made around £35000 from the cup tie v Hearts and that wasn’t televised (but a bigger crowd). Most of that was spent on making the playing surface one of the best about.
Also had to speculate to accumulate. Had to spend cash upfront on various things that were required by the bbc, sfa and the polis. Was told we will only get one shot at it. If there is a harsh frost or snow next week and the game doesn’t go ahead then that money will have been spent for nothing.
I’d also imagine £80000, while a lot of cash, wouldn’t cover most premier league teams budget for a season. We have a squad of about 20. £100 a week (average) over the 40 eeeks the players are paid would take up half for starters.
