THE 32 clubs that were involved in last season's First Round will each receive a five-figure windfall.

Clubs hosting replays from the Third Round of the competition onwards each pay five per cent of their gate receipts into an FA Cup Pool.

Due to the fact that some of the countries biggest and best-supported clubs, such as Manchester United and Arsenal, were involved in replays this season the total amount in the pool was the largest its ever been.

Once the money is divided between the 32 clubs, each will receive the tidy sum of £11,313.
