I very much doubt the club budgets for any revenue from cup runs, and even if it did, the lack of one would have been compensated for by the bonus 2,600 all-paying crowd for the play off. Also it would only affect whether we hit or missed the budget for last season, there'll be another new budget for this coming season based on (presumably minimal) assumptions about cup runs or bumper gates etc. Or that's how I'd interpret it...
