Over the moon that 1. It's on TV and 2. It's on Thur as I'm in Glasgow for the Jock v Eng game on the Tue, so I can now make it!!

I feel sick with excitement ! last time I felt like this was the day before the opening of the Gallagher .........

Will they be showing it live in the spitfire?? That way you can be at the ground watching it with a pint

Maidstone game at the Gallagher live on TV. Cup run worth £100,000. Wow still pinching myself. Lots of noise required for the replay like on Sunday, fantastic support.

I really hope we don't cancel the Saturday game against Met Police if Ryman league offer it

I've enjoyed this cup run but the main focus should be the league & we don't wanna get even more games behind

With the Northampton game on Saturday I'm terrified GW might put out an under strength side against you lot. With Wrexham in the second round it'll be interesting to see where his priorities lay.

Personally I think we're a better cup than league side over the last 20 years so couldn't give a monkeys about the Northampton game.

100k ....and the rest ..id say very nearly double that.

PRIZE MONEY 27.500 won so far...Then add 12.500 from BBC for interaction and highlights,on Sunday then add 33.750 for live replay


Then add the three home games ,one of which was 2300 sell out,others were 1450 and 1350 then add the  match day spend of those 5 k  fans,add the sales of Scarfs and merchandise cos im sure nearly 1400 at the lamex had amber on.

yes you need to deduct 50% for the opp on gate money


Then add  a 450 gate at Bwade,and a 2.900 gate on Sunday where most adults have paid 20 or 15 to get in.Do a split  

Then add a probable sell out for the replay. plus match spend minus the bit for Stevenage.

It'll be interesting to see where the money goes.

Options off the top of my head:

Ground improvements done more quickly

Pay off loans

Player bonuses

Better contracts for existing players we want to keep (ie just abobut all of them!)

Tempting in more players

I'd hope it's NOT the last one - Sunday showed the existing bunch are comfortable at a higher level. On #1, I don't know how much it's realistic to do in one close season. I do hope the extended main stand has the club name / badge across the top instead of looking like something they bought at Wickes. # 2 and I hope #3 and #4 will quietly and sensibly go on in the background.

Good luck!

I'll be watching Faversham's under-21s (if it isn't rained off) on that Thursday.

But, might just whack your match on record - just for you

[Deleted]

As someone else said - what a season this is turning out to be!

(Newbies - enjoy this, it isn't always like this!)

This will also be my first ever Thursday game in over 45 years of watching football - footy on a Thursday, how weird is that??

Great to see the message from Terry and Oliver that all the money is going back into the club to fund the ground improvements. We are truley blessed with the owners that we have. Long may it continue.

My Q answered then, and it's the right answer too!

Where and when did they say this?

We are truly blessed with these owners. You only have to look round football to see how bad owners have been in many clubs.
