Oliver's tweeted that we're going to be testing a clock/score/sponsor board against Truro on Saturday.

Excellent - it will help us keep track of the score.
Easy to get confused as the goals rain in...

You have to go negative!
If I was a player reading that kind of swipe, I'd be wondering why, after a 9-5 day job, I actually bother.

as this is needed in any high scoring game - the clock will be the most interesting thing to watch

What end is it going at?
Will it change ends at half time?

If you were a player, the thought of hundreds of pounds per week for a part time job might just cushion the blow of your hurt feelings a tad.

So it's behind the people in the Springfield End?
Strange choice. The people in the main stand are all blind so won't be able to see it, and nobody in the town end can read.

According to Oliver, this is a mobile unit, and just a trial. When we can afford it, it will go at the other end. But, think it would have been better on the river side half way line.

They have to learn to deal with it. If you're a football player watched by thousands of fans, you know that at some point you will take some stick. I am amazed you really believe a joke comment like that about the fact we don't score many goals is going to hurt the players. Taking this sort of thing is part and parcel of the job, and let's be clear, regardless of whether they have day jobs they are still paid reasonably well to play for Maidstone United football club. That makes them professionals and so they have to cope with it the same way full-timer's do. Here is an interesting piece from Graham Taylor about coping with criticism in the professional game: www.fourfourtwo.com/performance/training/graham-taylor-coping-criticism#:eF4w-1IhDslwoAIf you play well, you get praise. If you play poorly, you get slated. If you're somewhere in between (like us at the moment), you will get some and some. As Taylor says, sometimes you have to be big enough to admit criticism is justified. I remember some years ago, when Robert Taylor started playing for Gillingham. He was so bad that he had to ban his wife and family from going to home games because he didn't want them to hear the vitriol coming from the crowd. Eventually he got fit and started scoring for fun - suddenly he was "super Bobby Taylor." I've never heard anything like that sort of abuse from our crowd, and I don't expect to because by and large we have decent fans who don't sink to levels of personal abuse, unlike that lot 'up the hill'. What we should be allowed to do, as paying public, is go onto an independently run forum and say what we think if, in our opinion, the team or certain players are not up to the mark. We don't live in a communist society, and this isn't a communist football club.

Be something else for the players to aim for
