Maidstone v Dartford Sat 11 Dec 2021

[rick]

I should have mentioned this earlier (I blame Outlook!)

Peter Martin took up the segregation issue with Maidstone a week or two ago.

The reply he received was:

"We are making the segregation distance much wider for this game so hopefully both sets of fans will be much calmer this time"
--ends--

[M1 South]

So instead of throwing a missile 10 x metres, just throw it 22 instead!!

[Spike]

We'll be fine as long as Jan Zelezny and Fatima Whitbread aren't Maidstone fans.

[ozymandias]

'both sets of fans will be calmer'!!! We were singing cos we were winning and they didn't like it. And the fact they were losing.
I did notice a couple of oiks being escorted out were all of 14.

[Lennylenny]

I can’t go as how am I going to throw half a toilet roll 22metres ( when I couldn’t even throw it 5metres, still was marched out the ground without seeing a ball kicked at 57 years of age!) Or was it a James Bond umbrella which acted as a machine gun!!

[M1 South]

I would just like to say in advance to the aforementioned (lady) steward;
‘Sweet dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree’……………

Sounds to me like you are in love M1? Keep mentioning her...

On the contrary Mr Lion, I like my women to be feminine (& my men!!)

A trio of Kent derbies coming up starting with Maidstone United. Here's the match preview https://puredfc.co.uk/

[Park Life]

Looks like 310 sold which is good taking everything into account.
Youth tickets all been sold for a while now but last time when a section sold out they reallocated the allocations so hopefully they will do that again but a bit slow this time around.

Unfortunately can't see us selling our full allocation now but no surprise after what happened last time.
200 less paying supporters is a hefty amount of money Maidstone will lose so there is some good to come out of it

Maidstone fans complaining that they have lost another part of their Genco stand [ 22 metre segregation ] to accommodate Dartford fans and that it is NOT fair on their fans , what they should be doing is blaming the "OIKS " that were throwing coins and bottles for this and who have cost their Club at least £2000 in lost ticket sales from the Darts fans who do NOT want to risk injury to themselves [ and their kids ]

Could learn a lesson from a couple of senior Darts fans who self policed a few of the younger lads who were getting a bit silly at start of the season and now are a credit to the Club !!!!!!!

I am sure that both sets of genuine fans will be up for the game , desperate for their team to win !!!!!

I won't be contributing to the Maidscum coffers tomorrow. Not after the disgraceful scenes witnessed last time out. Being in the firing line I was fortunate not to be one of the unlucky ones hit by a coin, or any other missile, while the snowflakes impersonating police officers looked on.
I was more concerned for the safety of the young woman standing infront of me, clutching her little girl tightly in her arms who was clearly scared to death.

The stewards were less effective than a bunch of chocolate fire guards, expanding the rapidly increasing army of jobsworths in this country, who appear to be breeding ten times faster than bloody rabbits.

And what have Maidstone United done about the perpetrators? Sweet FA no doubt.

Any loss of potential revenue on their part will be their own fault.

The maidscum fans are whinging that we are getting half of their large bus shelter end.

Just had a read of the Maidstone forum and it's laughable that they are blaming and taking out their frustrations on us regarding the segregation.

We didn't ask to go in there, they allocated it to us and in all honesty i'd rather be up the other end away from their idiots throwing coins and bottles (albeit a very small minority).

For whatever reason their club choose to stick away fans right next to the home fans in their end, madness imo and i don't think any home fans would like it.

So contrary to what some of them might think I doubt we will get any more space and will be allocated exactly the same area we had last time so the only reason the segregated area in between the two sets of fans will be bigger and they will get less room is because of their small minority of idiots, so they should be taking this up with their own club and policing that small minority better and not blaming us as we have absolutely no choice but to go in there. Also they don't seem to be aware of any of their fans being banned contrary to the statement from Bill Williams!!!!

Blame us all they like but we haven't previously segregated matches against them at PP and they have the run of all the facilities with absolutely no problems whatsoever, however i wonder if the two games at their ground will have a bearing on that decision in future.

[Ajaxman DFC]

Good luck to the Darts today. I will be avidly following proceedings on line this afternoon and hopefully another 3 points.
Should things not go our way however, then atleast I'll be able to safely vent my frustrations on the Darts Board by taking out a few light bulbs!

[Trevor B]

Park Life if all goes well the Maidstone fans can blame us for winning the match on the day
Good luck to the team and travelling fans lets make sure of a win today

[PeteSamson]

To those who are attending the game, enjoy the match.

To those who aren't, tune in and enjoy the match commentary, as I am expecting to do, and listening to the Darts fans outsinging the home supporters, not for the first time this year either

An important 3 points up for grabs this afternoon.

I've just purchased my tickets for todays match and for Cray Wanderers next Saturday and found that both clubs use Eventbrite for their online booking service. For the Maidstone ticket I was charged an additional £1.31 for a so called booking fee but for the Cray ticket they make no additional charge. It leaves a little bit of a bad taste.......

[Tall Dart]

I note the website for tickets says sale ended, doesthismean we sold our allocation after all I wonder?!

Very good point TFW. They're just nicking a few bob more off the away supporters, why should we have to pay more??
When they play us give them a tiny corner section of the ground separated with some old cloth and charge them £200 each per ticket.....


Last time i looked earlier this morning we were up to about 360 sold but seems a bit early to stop sales now.
I would guess still a few who may only know on the day if they can go and will now mean away supporters will probably pay on the day and go in the home section.

Also poor that the youth allocation sold out a while ago but they didn't alter the allocations to let more book, they did last time??

They've not really got this segregation/ticket thing right imo as they've p****d off both the home and away fans.
I will add that to the list of reasons i do not like them.

I don't think we sold our allocation as there were just under a hundred adult tickets available when I purchased mine at around 10am this morning. The booking website had a message stating that it was closing in an hour (11am).
