Maidstone's Cup Run Will Be Remembered Like Hereford's

Maidstone's FA Cup run will be remembered like Hereford's run 50 years ago says co-owner Oliver Ash.

They were put out of the cup by Coventry but will net around £800,000 from the competition.

"Certainly our name is on the map for at least several seasons to come," said Ash.

"It’s crazy to say around the world, but it is around the world.

"Maidstone is now on the map because people have heard of what we’ve done.

"It’s as significant to me as when I was a kid and Hereford beat Newcastle and so many football fans of my generation will not just remember the result but remember the goals and the whole thing will stand out.

"Maidstone beating Ipswich will have the same impact in 30 years’ time.

"Probably 20 million people will say they were at the game and they will remember the goals, and that will obviously help us going forward to attract new investment.

"The cup run has been absolutely fantastic.

"It adds to those memorable moments our supporters have been lucky enough to enjoy in the last 12 years since the stadium opened.

"We’ve had so many memorable moments and this cup run is probably in the top one of all those moments."
