Yeah but that's not the purpose of the FA cup.
The beauty of the competition is the mis-match ties it throws up and the luck of the draw that sends clubs like Spurs to places like Tamworth.
Sometimes the minnow gets drawn away to a giant and gets the windfall, sometimes they get drawn at home and its a great spectacle.
Regardless, they'll make a tidy sum from the TV and media exposure anyway

The virtual tickets we bought off of Marine a couple of years ago have funded two promotions for them.I expect we’ll give them our share of the tv money and the prize money for winning the tie (if we do of course!). £115,000 for winning the tie. No idea on the tv money.

If its on tv the whole nation will be against us this game. Early goal then make it a rout. Then onto next round.

Isn’t a 3G surface a 100% artificial pitch? If so is that allowed?""The gently slopping pitch grass pitch was removed in the summer of 2016, flattened and replaced with a state of the art 3G FIFA 2-star rated surface by Slatters, which has enable to The Lamb ground to become a community hub and host numerous younger sides under the Tamworth FC banner."
