Is prize money cumulative? Have we won..... 36k+135k+180k+360k+720k or just 720k? First Round winners – £36,000 Second Round winners – £54,000 Third Round winners – £135,000 Fourth Round winners – £180,000 Fifth Round winners – £360,000 Quarter-Final winners – £720,000 Semi-Final losers – £900,000 Semi-Final winners – £1,800,000 Runners-up – £1,800,000 Winners – £3,600,000
We have earnt £1,395,000 in prize money so far with a guaranteed £900,000 (should we not make the final) so in effect last Saturdays win was worth £1,620,000 £720,000 then and a guaranteed £900,000 in the semis!
I have tried looking, and I can't find anything that suggests it will be other than the usual 45/45 for clubs, 10% to FA. Say 70,000 at £50 x 45% = (doing in my head) about £1.5m for Watford.

I was very disappointed by our back 5 against palace. A combined cost of £1.5m for a premier league defence (Gomes, Kiko, Mapps, Cathcart, Holebas) is well over the odds. In comparison I bought a banana the other day for less than a quid. No wonder fans complain. Its the end of football!
Looking forward to our taking the field next season with 1.5m bananas along the back line. The 1.5m-2-2-2 formation.
