The team I support hasn't made it through to the first round proper since 1992. The payday from the qualifying rounds used to be massive and see clubs through the whole season if you got through the 2 preliminary rounds and then then say to the 3rd qualifying round. But since covid they have halved (if not more) the prize pool in the stages before the first round proper.

Getting the to the first round proper is the prize in non league and you've basically "won" if you make it there. It's a shame to see the replays go. Will be another huge financial loss to the lucky few that make it to the proper rounds. Losing more of what makes it special and unique, where a non league team can hold a giant to a draw and force them to go through it all again!
