£67,500 for winning today!!!

But then extra gate money on top. I reckon the cup for for Torquay has got them a fair amount of cash in the kitty.

Round 1 £18,000
Round 2 £27,000
Round 3 £67,500

= £102,500 ... + whatever the gate was

A big away tie now would be wonderful...but I won't be disappointed if we face another side of Carlisle's level at home - win in the 4th round and its £90,000 in the bank

No the prize money for today Was £67,500. don't know how much we could get if we got through the next round.Flippen eck we would have to use some of it to provide cushions for the clouds we would be riding on.. prize money aside. if we get a really good draw it could be worth £250,000 or more depending on who we get. if a bad draw then £75,000 and thats only a share of the gate reciepts.
I say Bring on Manu and do what that lot up the road did. only better!!!

What was the attendance today? Do we have to split it with Carlisle?

YES!

Fantastic performance from Torquay today. Enjoyed every minute of it.

Whole team were exceptional, but special mention has to go to the back 4 who looked back to their very best. Branston and Ellis were immense, neither of them put a foot wrong all game. Eunan was brilliant too. What a game.

Don't care who we get in the next round, just ecstatic to even be there.

COYY

According to sky sports score centre the attendance was 3005. I wouldn't have thought it was a 50/50 take on the gate money ? hopefully it was just on what each club sold as I can't imagine that many Carlisle fans travelled all that way.

Best atmosphere I've heard at Plainmoor for years, I think.

Absolutely fantastic.

sounded great on the radio nick!

Wow that was a great game. Branston was a rock at centre half and Ellis improved as the game went on. Bevan as well was solid and so were both Robbo and Nico. Wroe started off well then gradually lost it a bit but Mansell kept going strong the whole game. Both Zebroski and Stevens were very good, especially Stevens, who had the beating of whoever he was running at. O'Kane was very good as well, he was playing balls to just about everywhere on the pitch and everytime he did they were inch perfect. Also I can see he's improved a lot since last season, although he's no Branston he's much stronger than when he first joined, not only was he beating their full backs with ability and pace, he held them off very well. Benyon did a lot of running up front, but missed some good chances.

Great game, but it was one of those games where we should have won by more. The only thing they could do was hoof it up to Madine.

Shout out to the fans, it was buzzing around plainmoor.

It was great being there SNW!

Paul & his drum make such a difference to the whole place!!

in the 4th round of the FA cup if Torquay are at home would it be the usual 'pay on the day' scenario to get in? or would it be an all ticket? I guess it depends on opposition? I want to go to the next one whoever we get, despite living up in the midlands now.

Oh yes the atmosphere I forgot. Plainmoor was absolutely buzzing today. A lot of people were giving the guy in the middle of the pitch at the start and half time a bit of abuse, but I thought it was good. Also, I think singing at the start should happen every week, got a bit of atmosphere going.

Feel your pain mate. I go to uni in Birmingham and it makes going to games pretty tough. Lets hope for Villa, Birmingham, West Brom or Wolves

Depends who we get. Man Utd, it'll be all ticket, Hereford Utd and it'll be pay as you play.

Jane, the story I believe to be true about gate receipts is that it is split 45% per club, with the remaining 10% going to the FA. This might go some way to explaining why the crowd was quoted at 3005 when the family stand was full, there was bugger all room on the pop and the majority of the grandstand was busy and the club try to tell us there were just 400 extra fans in.
