Best of luck in the cup!

FA Cup First Round Replay

The best of luck to Maidstone United's fan, players and officials in their FA Cup First Round Replay at home to Stevenage Borough from Ryman League Chairman Alan Turvey and his directors and officers on behalf of everyone connected with the league.

After drawing 0-0 in Stevenage, millions of FA Cup fans around the world are expected to watch the Ryman Premier club host their League Two opponents at the Gallagher Stadium on BT Sport or tune into the action on BBC 5 Live from 7.45pm.

Maidstone United have not reached the second-round stage since the club were re-formed in 1992 and will travel to Conference Premier Wrexham if they prevail. As well as collecting a guaranteed £33,750 television fee, the Kent club will also earn another £18,000 from the FA Prize fund on top of gate receipts from an expected sell-out crowd.
