how much does a team get to appear live on SKY?

[Bristol Pete]

I ask as Wigan have been live on sky four time in two weeks.

Is it any wonder prem teams simply get richer and richer. Stupid!

The mighty Ayr United were on Sky last week (v Inverness Cally Thistle) scottish cup replay!!

According to a source at the club they got £60 to £80k just from Sky to screen the game!

God only knows what amount the Premiership in england teams get!

I think I heard somewhere that it was something in the region of £250,000 (depending on the particular competition)

It was Burton Albion not Boston.

Don't forget that the underdogs got money from Sky as well as Mancheater united.

Rumour has it that for TV rights and ticket sales (11,000 burton fans went to old Trafford game) of which Burton got a percentage Burton Albion earned nearly £1 Million.

fair enough this only pays the weekly wage bill at Man U but for a non league club like Burton it's a serious income boost.

It has also created an upsurge in interest in the club locally with general gates now being more than doubled.
