Plymouth Argyle: Liverpool FA Cup win ‘probably best at Home Park’ says chairman Simon Hallett

The win over Liverpool will net Plymouth Argyle an extra £120,000 in prize money as well as a fee for the live broadcast of the match.

But Hallett says the money the club will have earned from their 2025 victory will not be as life-changing as the finances they received when they last faced Liverpool in 2017.

That year, Argyle, then in League Two, drew 0-0 at Anfield before losing 1-0 in a replay at Home Park, with both matches televised.

“The money helps,” Hallett said.

“We’re a club that’s run on a sustainable basis, we have one of the lowest football budgets in the Championship so anything that comes in is gravy that can go straight to the football squad.

“But compared with eight years ago when we played Liverpool, that was almost life-changing for the club.

“The money we made from that single game at Anfield was equivalent to a third of our football budget and now it’s only a tiny percentage of our football budget.

“So it’s great, but it’s gravy, it’s not the main meal.”
