It's massive for some clubs. Some teams can make close to a season's worth of revenue by being drawn at home to a team like United in the 3rd/4th round. Crawley Town played United at Old Trafford and it earnt them £1m. Havant & Waterlooville played Liverpool at Anfield in the 4th round in 2008, that cup run earnt them £600,000 (70% of previous season revenue). For non-league clubs and cash strapped teams, it's a huge incentive to do well.
