Maidstone United's FA Cup first round replay against Stevenage will be shown live on BT Sport - earning the club thousands.

Stones will receive £33,750 in television money when the tie is broadcast from the Gallagher Stadium next Thursday (November 20).

It means United will have earned a minimum £73,750 in prize money and TV revenue from their run in this season's competition, not to mention cash from gate receipts.

They will pocket another £18,000 if they beat League 2 Boro in the replay, with £27,000 on offer in the second round.

Stones will play Conference club Wrexham away should they beat Stevenage.

Maidstone's last visit to the Racecourse Ground ended in a goalless draw in January 1992, their final season as a Football League club. They lost 4-2 at Watling Street a month later.
