Re: FA Cup and FA Trophy prize money 2025-26
It would be great from a financial point of view to get through say three rounds of the FA Cup
If we won in the 1st qualifying round £2250
If we won in the 2nd qualifying round £3375
If we won in the 3rd qualifying round £5625
Loser in the 4th qualifying round £3125.

Total prize money. £14375

Yes , when the Football League clubs come in and then when the Premier League clubs come in, the prize money goes up astronomically.
We've not had a decent cup since 2020-21 (5 seasons ago) and 2012-13 (13 seasons ago) when, on both occassions, we reached the 4th qualifying round.
These are our FA Cup results over the last 13 years:
Season FA Cup results
2024-25 : 1st q r beat Heanor, then lost to Hereford after a replay
2023-24 : 1st q r lost to Mickleover
2022-23 : 1st q r beat Matlock then lost to Anstey Nomads
2021-22 : Preliminary round beat Quorn then lost to Halesowen
2020-21 : Preliminary round beat Shepshed, then beat Coventry Sphinx, then beat Hanley, then beat Alvechurch, before losing to Hartlepool in the 4th qualifying round.
2019-20 : Extra Preliminary round lost to Loughborough Univ
2018-19 : (MFL season) Not entered in FA Cup
2017-18 : (MFL season) Not entered in FA Cup
2016-17 : 1st q r beat Ashby Ivanhoe, then beat Barwell before losing to Stourbridge
2015-16 : 1st q r lost to Rugby
2014-15 : 1st q r beat Matlock, then beat Solihull Moors before losing to Stockport
2013-14 : 1st q r lost to Belper
2012-13 : 1st q r beat Coalville, then beat Belper, then beat then beat Gresley before losing to AFC Fylde in the 4th qualifying round.

Re: FA Cup and FA Trophy prize money 2025-26
The one I can remember the most was the Rugby game . Was chatting to one of their fans and he said the Fri they didn't have a full squad .Before the game he said we will thrash them , how wrong was he .
