    Luton thought they had booked their place in the third round against Bury, only for victory to be snatched out of their hands via a 90th-minute Daniel Nardiello goal.

    The Hatters, though, may have been at a bit of a disadvantage from the off, as their boss John Still has just told his post-match press conference that a number of players were ill after their pre-match meal...

    Dodgy pie and chips?

    There is a serious financial gain to be made by non-league teams who can go on a run in the FA Cup and Maidstone already have big plans for their unexpected windfall.

    A new striker? Not quite. The Stones have decided to invest their money in a new stand.

    Co-chairman Terry Casey told BBC Radio Kent: "Some clubs throw all their money into the playing squad and it all evaporates," Casey told BBC Radio Kent.

    "In years to come the stand will be built on the basis of the 2014 Cup run.

    "In the first qualifying round we won 10-0 against Littlehampton and it has grown and grown from that. There will be a legacy of all the wonderful hard work these players have put in."

    Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman tells BBC Sport after his side's 1-1 draw with League One Yeovil: "Although I'm disappointed we haven't won, I'm pleased with what we did in the second half.

    "Yeovil are a decent side but we've been putting into our lads this week we could threaten them, and we did. We pinned them back and pinned them back.

    "We could have had a couple of penalties, and for the second the lad would have been sent off had he given it."

    Maidstone might have killed off a relative giant as recently as last month but Wrexham have a pretty proud history in the competition as well.

    Mickey Thomas fired home a memorable free-kick as they beat Arsenal 2-1 in 1992 and the Welsh side will be keen to make the third round again.

    Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson was on Football Focus earlier, and here's what he had to say on Wrexham v Maidstone:

    "I think Wrexham expect to win today. With Maidstone, they've had great results at home on their 3G pitch, but it's a little bit more difficult when you go away. Wrexham will definitely fancy their chances."
