OXFORD United's Emirates FA Cup opponents have been given the added incentive of an unusual win bonus tomorrow night.
Macclesfield Town's players will each receive a king size bed from club sponsors Arighi Bianchi if they win the second round replay at the Kassam Stadium.
The non-league side were unfortunate not to progress at the first attempt, as a below par United held them to a goalless draw at Moss Rose.
The winners will receive £27,000 in prize money, plus a trip to Rotherham United in the third round.
But if there is an upset, Macclesfield will be sleeping well.
Nick Bianchi, from the furniture firm, told the Silkmen's website: "After our excellent performance against Oxford we got together at Arighi Bianchi and decided that if we get through the replay we will give each member of the first-team a king size bed with our compliments.
"I really hope we do it and I hope this can be a little carrot for the team when they are travelling down to the game."
