Quote ="Nozzy"I think (roughly):
1st, 2nd, 3rd and MPG Winner all get 1.8m.
Loser of MPG = 800k
6th = 750k
7th = 500k
8th = 450k
Those figures might not all be spot on but it is in that ball park.
Hence the 'Million Pound Game' due to the drop in funding between the winner and loser. Certainly be interesting if it comes down to 2 SL teams!'"
Not sure about the highlighted bit, but our Chairman said SKY give SL clubs each just over 1.4m a year. Not sure if the Million pound game name got it from when Wakey and Cas played for it in 2006 and they've just kept it. Championship funding has risen since then hasn't it.
