A Norfolk village club, Mulbarton Wanderers, set a record with 806 supporters attending their FA Cup replay after a referee's error triggered the match. The Football Association ordered the replay following Woodford Town's appeal over a penalty decision in the original game, which Mulbarton won 2-1. Mulbarton earned £3,375 in prize money and qualification for the third qualifying round.
Goals from Ashley Jarvis secured the victory, with joint manager Danny Self praising the fans' incredible support. The club's other joint manager, Ben Thompson, highlighted the need for continued support ahead of the next round against Gloucester City, calling them "the 12th man."
