Hadn't heard until now about solidarity payments for play off losers. Is it actually a thing?

The winners usually let the losers keep the gate receipts

Seen it mentioned but haven't seen anything suggesting it's actually true

Like what ? A percentage of ticket sales?

Not sure, it's what I'm asking really. I didn't think you got anything but there's people suggesting we get a decent whack

we would end up with around 50% of net gate receipts today (After expenses)
so 80000 at say £60 average less expenses would see us clear £2m

50% of all the money from the semis and final go into A pot and shared amongst teams in playoffs

Absolutely no chance we get £20m for losing the play-off final.

We get fuck all. Other than gate receipts

Yeah, think there’s a bit of confusion, the solidarity payments are paid to all champ clubs. I might be wrong but don’t think there’s anything specific for play off losing finalist

Looks like some people have taken a tweet from some football finance expert and got confused about the standard solidarity payments. Somehow some coming up with 35 million on twitter

We get 12.5% of all semi final gate reciepts and 25% of net gate reciepts of final.

Hope we agreed that losing finalists get winners gate recipts.

Possibly get about£2-3M extra.

Probably added another £1-2M on Hamers transfer fee though.

I think he was comparing winning and losing so for losing you get the 7 million (which is the same as every other championship club). Fans have then taken this as meaning an extra 7 million which isn't true

Yeah like so much misinformation on the internet it’s just poor reading comprehension.

To be fair the graphic does say "if lose play-off". That's very misleading, as although technically true it doesn't actually matter if you lose, or even get into, the play-offs.

I was thinking "isn't that what everyone gets?" but the wording was making me question myself.
