The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

What sloppy journalism, most of that is pure fantasy.

Well at least we know they will be coming for the draw in an attempt to earn more money with a replay.

Loved some of the comments "Northamptonshire Giants" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Agreed, can't see there being over 1000 there. 500-700 as you say.

Maybe 1000 if Fakenham bring 200, which i doubt! :lol:

anyone else getting excited?!

Are gate receipts, after expenses, shared between the two clubs on the same basis adopted for FA Cup ties?

The wife has had a lady collect a shirt today who syas her husband is coming tomorrow with 15 others in his party, perhaps we may get nearer a 1,000 after all

From the Vase rules :-

"The net gate receipts due from a match (except replayed matches in consequence of a breach of the Rules) shall be the total ticket sales for the match less VAT, the travelling (and possibly accommodation) expenses of the Visiting Club, the fees and expenses of the Match Officials, and other match expenses allowed under the Rules (which includes costs relating to gate attendants, turnstile operators, stewards, police charges, floodlighting in accordance with the Rules, contributions to costs of First Aid Helpers, and any costs relating to the clearing the ground of snow and water provided the Visiting Club is consulted beforehand on the approximate costs). The National Game Board shall have the power from time to time to issue instructions as to what shall and shall not be allowed as a match expense.

(b) Net gate receipts shall be divided as follows:
(i) In all matches prior to the Final, the net proceeds of each match shall be divided equally between the competing Clubs.
(ii) In the Final, the net proceeds shall be divided as follows:
45% to each Club
10% to the Pool
(iii) The Pool in (ii) shall be distributed at the discretion of the National Game Board.

(c) The net gate receipts shall be approximately divided immediately after the match. A full statement of account for the match shall be prepared by the Club playing at its home ground, on the prescribed Statement of Receipts and Payments Form, and payment shall be made in full to the Visiting Club and The Association within 14 days of the match. The Statement of Receipts and Payments Form must be signed by a Director or Football Secretary of the Home Club. A Club failing to comply with this clause may be ordered to pay a fine and any other punishment, including non-admission in the future to the Competition, may be imposed as determined by the National Game Board.
