Recently, Maidstone have got into the habit of declaring the away end all ticket if large numbers are expected (Tonbridge, Dulwich, Torquay). Sometimes that's cancelled near matchday, sometimes not. I would expect serious title contenders with a decent away support to be all ticket, especially...

Time to resurrect this discussion? Ebbsfleet couldn't play a new signing, as under a transfer embargo due to an unpaid bill.

All is forgiven. He scored Maidstone's winner against Oxford City.

Looking around yesterday, something occurred to me. If the stadium is ever completed, the four stands will not just be different sizes, but perhaps uniquely for a modern stadium, will be four completely different styles to each other. It won't be a dull identikit design.

These days most players train on 3G anyway. It saves a ton of money on renting a training pitch. It gets used by the women and disability teams. And in a town that lost a generation of young fans, it gets played on by hundreds of local schoolkids. Every evening I walk past the ground, the...

The Football League years are a curse. There are only a handful of clubs in this league with EFL pretensions, plans to expand their ground to achieve that, and fans who want that to happen. All based on a couple of disastrous seasons back in the 90s. As long as it fails to materialise, a...

Current plan is to put four covered rows of seats along the Riverside with a pathway behind (cost £650,000?). Which is a shame, as this adds nothing to capacity. We have recently bought a strip of land behind. Standing in the Spitfire, I reckon they could demolish the changing rooms and keep...

Maybe he realised full time pro football was never going to be viable at 'ricay. Build a small stadium in Romford, recruit the best local non league players, the resulting increase in attendances might just make it viable. Or it could just all go horribly wrong. Only time will tell, but Romford...

I can remember when Maidstone fans noticed Tonbridge.

It was Sittingbourne who claimed to be the Man Utd of non league football, right before running out of money and selling their half built stadium. As a newer Maidstone fan who started following them when they and I moved into the town, I'm glad the kids have something to sing about and a club...

There's one every season...

Maidstone fans singing THAT song to Danny Kedwell, who duly came on as a sub and scored with his first touch of the game.

This belongs in the tinpot thread.

You can see the bit of terracing you get on this drone footage. http://maidstoneunitedfc.proboards.com/thread/6628/maidstone-pub-guide

I really wish the camera had not zoomed in on their topless fans, just after six minutes!

We didn't segregate Weymouth and there were some minor issues, from both sides. Alcohol almost certainly played a part. I'm guessing the overweight topless lad celebrating their goal on the pitch had one or two beers. When you've got used to opposing fans being segregated, it comes as a culture...

Playing devil's advocate, £3 extra sounds a lot. But by the time you've paid for transport, beer, food, programme, or whatever you spend that day, it's not much in the grand scheme of things. It's not as if there is some greedy businessman making a big pile of money out of all those three...

If I was a sugar daddy, throwing fifty grand a week down the toilet, I'd want a slightly higher return than missing the playoffs and one ugly new stand.

Maidstone never win Kent derbies. Apparently.

Maidstone let you win on the last day of the season to avoid a strong opponent.
