Today, THURSDAY

Maidstone - Stevenage

Tonight

Maidstone 2 - 1 Stevenage

Frannie Collin's late header put seventh-tier Maidstone United through to the second round of the FA Cup at the expense of League Two Stevenage. Collin rose to meet Ben Greenhalgh's cross to book the Isthmian Premier Division side a meeting with Wrexham. He had earlier put Maidstone ahead from a rebound, only for Darius Charles to volley an equaliser for Stevenage. But Collin had the last word, sending Maidstone to round two for the first time since they reformed in 1992.

Their victory was also the first match in the main draw of the FA Cup to played on a 3G artificial surface. A goalless draw at Stevenage had earned the Stones a replay at the Gallagher Stadium, the ground they moved into in 2012 on their return to the town after a 24-year absence.

I think Ben Greenhalgh created all 3 of our goals when we won the league cup a couple of seasons back, he was with us pre-season but I think we went for another striker rather than Ben.

Great performance at Mansfield on Tuesday night, just a shame we couldn't finish the job on the night.

Mansfield got rid of their manager and then won yesterday.....fupping typical

Good luck Concord, Keep that non-league flag flying

Cheers mate. Looking like being a bumper crowd, sold close to 1000 tickets apparently when we usually get 250/300 for home games. Bloody glory hunters

Good luck Concord!

It wasn't to be, but heads held high losing out by 1 goal to a team two leagues above us in front of a crowd of 1500+, we average 2 to 300 usually but amazing support tonight. Hopefully some of those return on Saturday.

Bad luck dude

you've put the team on the map anyway!

unlucky mate, only just seen this as we done a baccy run to Belgium this morning, was up at 3am, also went to Dunkirk

a good cup run will produce maybe 20 extra supporters going by the Basingstoke standards

Thats what we are hoping mate.

Quite a few Southend fans came to watch as well, I dont think they realised that the standard isnt that different between League 2 and
our level so hopefully they get the non league bug and return.

Hartlepool monkey hangers 1 - 2 Blyth Spartans

Blyths first goal was a seriously good free kick , worth checking out

Was a cracking strike, interesting to see Marvin 'three penny pence head' Harewood leading the line for the monkey hangers. Had one that I think was over the line (Just 'cause Shearer said it wasnt) disallowed. Not a pretty game by any stretch of the imagination but a proper cup time with a blinding atmosphere!

And that is why goal line technology is great, cos I dont think it was fully over

I didn't think it was either dude.

I'm assuming that goal line technology isn't allowed in the FA Cup ?

Get Reading


Reading FC usually crash out of FA Cup in fourth round, figures show - Our points system shows the Royals normally get through the first stage before losing.

Over the last 25 years, Reading have averaged the fourth round of the FA Cup. The Trinity Mirror Data Unit have taken the round each side reached over the last 25 seasons and awarded zero points for the third round, one for the fourth, two for the fifth, three for the quarter finals, four for the semis, five for the runners up and six for the winners. The Royals have an average of 0.7 points, meaning that they reach the fourth round on average every year.

The club face C hampionship rivals Huddersfield Town in the third round this year. In recent years the Royals have faced Crawley Town and Stevenage in the third round. You have to go back to 2011, when the Royals beat West Brom 1-0, for the last time Reading faced a Premier League side. The previous year saw the team's famous win over Liverpool at Anfield, which followed a 1-1 draw at the Madejski.

In the FA Cup as a whole, Chelsea have an average 3.2 of points, more than any other side, which is the equivalent to the quarter finals every year. The Blues have won the FA Cup six times over the last 25 years, as well as being beaten in the final twice and the semi finals three times. Closest to Chelsea are Manchester United, five times winners, three times runners-up, with 3.1 - also a quarter final average. Arsenal are the only other side to average the quarter finals, with an average of three points, on the back of six FA Cup trophies and one season as runners-up.

With an average of exactly two points, Liverpool average the fifth round, as do Tottenham (1.9), Everton, (1.8), Manchester City (1.7), Sheffield United (1.5) and Newcastle (1.5).

The FA Cup tradition getting ripped apart just to suit the television companies.

Blyth v Birmingham
