While Albion earned £8.648m from their nine live screenings this season and Villa £13.05m from their 16 appearances, Walsall earned just £30,000 for their one slot before the cameras.

That's because while Premier League clubs are paid up to £1m per live match screened, League One clubs receive just £30,000 as the home team and £10,000 as the visiting side.

The lowest figure paid to top-flight clubs for live appearances over the season is £8.648m, of which Albion were one of eight clubs to receive that amount.

Walsall's share of the spotlight came on Monday, November 18 when they beat Peterborough 2-0 at the Banks's Stadium.
