Blackpool can count on a massive £95 million swelling their coffers after winning Premiership promotion.

That outstrips any previous prize on offer to a team or individual from a football match, including the Champions League final or World Cup final, any boxing match, horse race, golf tournament or tennis event, or any single event in the major sports in America, home to four of the world's richest sports leagues.

The £95m-plus is new, extra income that Blackpool will make in the coming seasons as a result of winning at Wembley. Had they lost, they would have been guaranteed none of it: that is now Cardiff's fate, although the finalists agreed that the losers would receive 100% of the gate receipts.

The sum is made up as follows. Blackpool will make at least £40m from central Premier League funds next season, even if they finish bottom and are relegated.

If Blackpool are immediately relegated, they will earn another £48m in parachute payments over the next four seasons, broken down into £16m in years one and two after relegation, and £8m in years three and four. So that's £88m guaranteed from Premier League central funds, in the worse-case scenario.

The additional £7m is the minimum Blackpool can expect to make in extra income from ticket sales, sponsorship deals and other commercial earnings during a one-year stay in the Premier League.
