Sunday switch spells TV bonus

22 Oct 2016 By David Watters

EVO-STIK Northern Premier League Stamford are looking forward to banking a £12,500 TV bonus after their first round proper match at Hartlepool United was switched to Sunday to feature on BBC’s Final Score highlights programme.

The Daniels, who've already earned £29,425 in FA prize money since beating St Neots in the preliminary round and triumphing in a replay at Wrexham in the fourth and final qualifying round, pictured, will earn the Football Association's fee for extended highlights, overseas broadcast or live single camera footage on a Sunday.

The EVO-STIK NPL First Division South club has also announced that coaches are being organised as they continue their record-breaking run to ferry fans to the North East on Sunday 6 November for the 2pm kick-off.

Ticket prices for the tie at the League Two club's Victoria Park have been set at £15 for adults and £10 for concessions. Officials at the Zeeco Stadium expect to release details of when they'll be on sale and more information on their travel arrangements this week.

After the broadcasters finalised details of their coverage this weekend, Stourbridge and Spennymoor Town - taking on National League Whitehawk and League One MK Dons respectively - are both in line for a TV bonus too with the FA's Saturday fee set at £6,750 per club.
