Thanks for that update - I did wonder how not having a sponsor would affect the prize money, and luckily not as much as I feared. Just a quick correction. There is prize money for the league cup. We've currently won £12k (£5k for the first round and £7k for the 2nd), and there is £10k for 3rd round winners, £15k for 4th round, £25k for each quarter final and semi final win, finalists get £50k and winners get £100k. It seems a bit perverse that the financial reward for winning your first two games in the League Cup, especially given it has a sponsor, is less than that for the less prestigious EFL Trophy for which clubs have three bites of the cherry: £12k cf £16k. It's even worse than that. There is no prize money in the Carabao Cup this season until the semi-final stages. |

Tim is the club secretary, I suspect his information is better than random websites

I think the prize money for the league cup is rubbish. You can see why even L1 teams put out weaker teams in the first couple of rounds.
Just to give it a bit more perspective here, if we make it to the 3rd round of the FA cup, we would earn more prize money that we would do if we won the League Cup. Indeed if a PL/Champ side win one game in the FA cup i.e. the 3rd round, they'd get significantly more prize money than they would do by winning the league cup.
