If it's the same format as this season, we'd be invited if one of Salford and Solihull won the play-offs

Sutton United entered it this season but got eliminated early on.

Having to travel to the likes of Scotland / Ireland for tin pot cup matches infront of meagre crowds who wont generate much income doesn't appeal in my view - not sure whether it's a case of being invited or it being compulsory to play in the competition.

Refuse to enter the competition or send an u18s/reserve squad. No benefit to us whatsoever.

What sort of bunce would we be looking at?

This is from a couple of years ago but we'd hardly be looking at mega bucks! Maybe we could sell the water on for a profit.

How much will my club make in prize money?
THE distribution is as follows:

First Round losers: £3,500.

Second Round losers: £5,250.

Third Round losers: £5,500.

Fourth Round losers: £5,750.

Quarter-final losers: £8,250.

Semi-final losers: £10,250.

Runners-Up: £12,750.

Winners: £17,750.

Will there be extra payments if my club is live on TV?
NO. The briefing note says that, due to the increased number of live games, the SPFL board has decided "not to allocate television facility fee payments," and instead "maximise prize money".

Are there any other benefits for clubs?
YES. All 54 clubs will receive £740 of stock from AG Barr, the competition sponsors, which will normally come in the form of Strathmore bottled water.

As someone who lives on the Scottish Border.

If that was Irn Bru old proper stuff would say yes, but water?!

So if we don't go up, we have to hope someone finishing below us does.
