How much is the Championship play-off final worth?

It's billed as the richest game in football and it's hard to argue given the numbers being suggested await Villa or Derby if they can get back into the Premier League - with the money men at Deloitte saying it's worth about £170m over the next three years for the winners.

That's an amount based on Premier League TV money and estimated increased revenue and ticket sales based on just one year in the top flight and being instantly relegated with the accompanying parachute payments that go along with suffering the drop.
