2024 FA Cup

Perhaps a little early in the competition to start this thread but I wanted to post that non-league Maidstone United is up 1-0 over Ipswitch Town at the half! (Although honestly it really could've easily been 4-0 Ipswitch by now.)

Maidstone is in the National League South, the lower tier of the National League, six levels down, while Ipswitch Town are in second place in the Championship, at the moment in position for promotion to the Premier League.

And Maidstone win 2-1!

They were away at Ipswitch and were allocated 4,500 seats. Their home stadium only holds 4,200 LOL

Their three wins in the competition so far has earned them at least £18,000 from the prize pool. That's a huge windfall for a non-league club, and the commentators said they're planning to completely redo their pitch and maybe expand the stands. If they win the next round that's an additional £9,000+, and even if they lose they still get over £3,000 extra.
