Great news to come back to after a good days walking in the Peak District. Look forward to the video. Keep it up lads

Long-term supporters at our level are used to starting seasons with great expectations, followed by the inevitable setbacks and disappointments making successes all the more sweet, but I do think we may now be on the verge of experiencing something really special. Ever optimistic, let's enjoy the ride.

Brilliant passing, control and attacking play from the whole team. Great to be back where we left off with a 3-0 home win 17m months after Chelmsford, and Noor scoring (deservedly MOM) in both games.
Such a promising and exciting start.

Wow, what a start to my 61st season (a Johnny come lately compared to some though, eh Mickey in shocking pink!).

Having not come down for the friendlies, I was hoping the positive vibes and anticipation on here could be justified - and how. Lively attacking play in the first half, with Danny Leonard a constant danger on the right with many good crosses, including his, I think, for Ade's goal, and Meade overlapping on the left. Ade looking lively too, but Jake slightly off with a couple of good heading chances, one glancing effort not quite connecting and another bouncing up onto the crossbar. With Noor firing wide when well placed, would it be one of those days until the goal just on halftime? Cue pandemonium from the rousing noisy support behind the goal.

Second half quieter and rather scrappy relying on occasional breakaways. After the equaliser, we were a bit nervy at times and was thinking both sides may be holding out for a point each until a great Jebb cross for super-sub to nod in, followed by a confident strike deep into injury time. Great to be back; roll on next week for a large crowd and putting Slough to the slaughter!

Not a fan of pink shirts, but they made the team very visible and the black numbers showing well, so thumbs up now.

Jack Barham out for 6-8 weeks with a knee injury, and another new Maidstone forward also injured, while another has walked away after rejecting a new contract, so a bit of a crisis down there.
Oh dear!

Good article about Jake Robinson just spotted on National League site:-

Mine came last Saturday, having paid a little extra and asked for it to be posted, so I guess they ought to be ready for collection Mick.

Hope to be able to make good use of it soon.

Everything emailed to me on the 19th, with details as how to join via Zoom on the 7th June at 7 p.m. Presumably only sent to shareholders.

24 - 19 in favour of null & void from NLS and NLN clubs, so 51% achieved. Now referring to F.A. for ratification and discussions about promotions and relegations, but guess it can only affect NL to/from EFL.
Great shame and waste of everyone's efforts over the last 6 months, as well as the Lottery money frittered away.

All changed with Jacob coming on.
