Statement from the directors of Maidstone United

We all enjoyed a fine performance from the Stones on Saturday against league leaders Yeovil. Many of the fans who travelled to Ipswich last weekend came back to a packed Gallagher Stadium to see some exciting league action but will also have been dismayed at some of the violent scenes in the Genco End, mainly in the away supporter areas.

Football matches do not have to be ruined and shamed by such behaviour. Only the previous weekend some 4,500 of our supporters travelled to Ipswich, where the match was played and watched in excellent spirit. Supporters exchanged good-natured banter in an electric atmosphere and mingled after the match without any unsavoury incidents. Many of our fans spoke of how welcoming Ipswich fans were, how they were gracious enough after defeat to offer us their good wishes. This is how football matches should be experienced and this is the atmosphere we wish to encourage at the Gallagher Stadium so supporters young and old and families all feel safe and welcome.

Following Saturday’s match we will be investigating the incidents fully and reflecting on any measures which could be taken in the future to deter such incidents of fans misbehaving, which thankfully are rare. We will also consider banning away ticket sales altogether for those clubs, like Yeovil, which have a track record of travelling supporters who cause trouble. We would rather see reduced attendances if that means we ensure a friendly, safe, positive experience can be had by all at the Gallagher Stadium.



How about their own fans who throw a constant barrage of coins and bottles at us every time we visit and do sod all about it.
The only club i know who had their own steward thrown out by the police.
Follow our fans to the station and cause trouble there.
The list goes on and on and why we only took a handful of supporters their on the last visit.

They really are the pits and should take a long hard look at themselves first.
This sort of statement is totally irresponsible and why they are one of the most disliked and arrogant clubs in football.

According to comments on social media the vast majority of their supporters are not at all happy about playing at Tonbridge as it's not the easiest ground to get to by public transport. Surely there are plenty of clubs closer than Tonbridge that could accommodate them for one season (eg Cray Wanderers, Bromley, Phoenix, VCD, Ebbsfleet, Dulwich or even Dartford at a push).

However, Erith & Belvedere, who ground share with Welling, have released a statement confirming that they intend to continue playing at PVR next season.

It’s a 4g pitch so no postponements which would help Wellings cause I’m sure?? (Unlike Truro hoping to play on that ploughed field at Taunton!)

That's of course without any more being cancelled....
