Has the prizemoney for places in the SPL been reduced from last season ?

I seem to recall when we lost out to Kilmarnock for seventh place last season the talk was of us losing out of prize money of £57,000 a place.

This season, in securing seventh place, the press are talking about us winning extra prize moey of just over £40,000.

Teletext says £68,000.

I'm more confused than ever now.

I believe its around 60-70k per place. Every team is guaranteed a certain amount regardless of position, and the percentage 'bonus' increases with each higher league placing. Not sure if the exact figures are in the public domain anywhere, but cant see it being less .... maybe the team got a bonus for finishing higher ?
