How much earnings does another round in the FA Cup generate? Does it matter if you play away or at home? Any other interesting financial aspects?

Depends who we draw mate. I think a big club can be a decent earner. Every little helps either way though!
Personally I'd love to draw one of the big guns, make a few quid and bow out gracefully. A long cup run could do more harm than good.
Great to break another unwanted run though. That's 2 in the space of a month!

English FA has installed a good system where both home and away teams for every tie of FA Cup get 45% of gate receipt revenue each. So if a lower league team hit a jackpot and they are drawn against a top premier league side away they make more money from that away game than their entire season (or in some cases several season).
Cambridge United took United to a replay at Old Trafford, although they lost the game 3-0 but they earned a massive fortune with 45% share of gate receipt which was reportedly around £1.2 million.
