Revealed: The six-figure cash sum Blackpool have earned in FA Cup despite loss to Brighton

The FA Cup is over for Blackpool until next season after Neil Critchley's side were defeated by Brighton on Saturday.

But Pool's run to the fourth round will be rewarded with a financial boost – courtesy of the FA Cup’s prize fund.

Although the FA confirmed prize money would be reduced this season following the pandemic, winners in each round are able to earn cash.

Blackpool pocketed £22,629 for their first round win against Eastbourne Borough and £34,000 in the next round after a victory over Harrogate Town.

£82,000 was collected after Blackpool’s win over West Brom in the third round.

That means in total, Blackpool have gained a cool £138,692 during their run this year, with no money on offer to losers of fourth round ties.
