Where would the albion be if the cup final missings millions had been pumped back into the club playing budget! Possible 28 years of top flight footie?

Oh turn it in son, HOW MANY TIMES - The players and staff had it written into their contracts that IF the club ever reached the FA CUP FINAL after expenses all profit would be pooled and divded equally. As it was consider such an unlikely event. Graham Moseley owns three properties in Hove - Gary Howlett works at Dublin Airport for what he describes as pin money.
Its all accounted for NOT MISSING. Go down Wilbury Crescent there is some down there.
Everything has led to where we are now-
There has been some very big "what if's"-
what if-smith had scored
what if-we had 10 more points in 1985
what if-we had won the 1991 play off final
what if-we had lost the 2004 play off final
perhaps the single biggest "what if" was as recently as 2008-what if Mr Bloom had not stepped in to finance Falmer.
This.
and your point is?
We had 2 cup finals though-not many teams get 2 for the price of 1 on their 1st attempt.
twice the revenue!!!!

There were no missing millions. As you rightly state the total gate receipts, let alone the Albion's share didn't even come to 'millions'.Where does this idea of missing "millions" come from? I can't remember what I paid for my ticket but I'm sure it wasn't more than £5, so even with a capacity of 100,000, and seat prices being more than I paid to stand, the total gate receipts for the final were probably less than £1m. What would the Albion's share have been after the FA had taken their cut?
Seems alot of work has gone into covering this one up! no smoke without fire me thinks!
