FA Cup Third Round Draw Details

The FA Cup

First up for the Cumbrians is the second round step of defeating the Lambs at Brunton Park on Saturday afternoon though, but not only is the competition a good chance to progress to the third round for another potential bumper payday after the Everton match last season, but there is also the opportunity with a win to stick another £27,000 in the coffers on the way.

The prize fund, which in these times of recession is down by about 5% to 10% in each "proper" round from two years ago, breaks down thus :


Second Round Proper Winners - £27,000
Third Round Proper Winners - £67,500
Fourth Round Proper Winners - £90,000
Fifth Round Proper Winners - £180,000
Sixth Round Proper Winners - £360,000
Semi-Final Losers - £450,000
Semi-Final Winners - £900,000
Final Loser - £900,000
Final Winner - £1,800,000


The draw will be broadcast live from Wembley on ITV1 at 6pm on Sunday evening, and if we defeat or draw with Tamworth then Blues fans will be on tenterhooks as we wait for the number 62 ball to appear and the name of Carlisle United to be read out. As for the draw makers, well the duo this time around are former Oasis star Noel Gallagher and Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno who support Manchester City and Leicester City respectively.
