I think he said they are compensated £2000 a game in league one if they are on the red button midweek.

However, with so many clubs in debt and reliant on a TV deal to survive they had no other option but to agree to it. Unlike the Premier League the EFL can’t exactly play hardball with the broadcasters.
£2000?! That's an incredibly low sum. Easy to believe that 100 less away fans will travel to Peterborough on a Monday night instead of a Saturday afternoon, so that's the £2k lost already.
