        but Carling Cup money could make the difference to our promotion bid (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 13, 10:56:09
        
        Would be interesting to know roughly how much net income a Carling Cup tie generates. (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Aug 13, 11:01:16

    - agreed - turned Burnley's season around last year (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 13, 10:37:05
      - it also messed up Sheff Utds promotion chances a few years ago. (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Aug 13, 10:45:09
        
        Hard to prove whether it messed them up or not, it could be argued (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 13, 10:48:03
        
        Maybe because the player's focus was more on winning the cup games (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Aug 13, 10:50:36
        
        Didn't do much harm to Burnley last season, though... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Aug 13, 10:47:56
      - and a tie against one of the 'Big Four' could bring in much needed dosh (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 13, 10:38:52
        
        No revenue sharing in the league cup, IIRC. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Aug 13, 10:50:37
        
        I thought there was in all cups (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 13, 11:11:16
        
        There is - in fact we really could do with getting a tie at OT or Emirates (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 13, 11:22:58
