"Slough manager Scott Davies said it was an "incredible" opportunity and that his side are full of "confidence, enthusiasm and motivation to go and get a big tie in the next round"."
""The FA Cup is special and we're lucky that we're still in it," Davies told BBC Radio Berkshire. "It's absolutely huge. I think from prize money and being on TV, we've got 126,000 so far. It's obviously a massive bonus for the club but it's well deserved. "We're the last remaining Berkshire team and it's the first time that any team in Berkshire has stayed in the competition longer than Reading for about 40 years.""
Eleven non-league clubs remain in the FA Cup second round, each one win from a potential third-round tie against top-flight opposition. Three clubs — Weston-super-Mare, Slough Town and Brackley Town — have never reached the third round, while re-formed Macclesfield last made it before their 2020 return. Slough host Macclesfield in a high-profile tie. Slough have earned £126,000 so far from prize money and TV, a financial boost described as massive and well deserved. Fourteen League One and fifteen League Two sides also progress, with Championship and Premier League clubs entering in the next stage.
