LDV Money Still In Doubt

The prize fund for the LDV Vans Trophy remains in doubt after the Football League confirmed that the sponsors name would not be used for the final.

The trophy final between Swansea and Carlisle will be billed as the Football League Trophy unless a last-minutes sponsor can be found for this weekend's final, and no decision has yet to be made regarding the prize fund.

Swansea Chairman Huw Jenkins told BBC Wales: "Unless a last-minute sponsor comes in for the actual game on the day, we have to accept we're going to struggle to get any prize money from it. The players are on bouses to get through to the final, and those bonuses are based on prize money so this does hit our earning power on the day. But we have a commitment to honour the bonus contracts so obviosuly we'll do that."

Football League chiefs have stated that the prize fund is "under review".
