There may be a financial cost, depending how much money was fronted up and how much work remains to be done. One of the benefits of having a sugar daddy owner is not having to worry about the impact of such events. I did remember thinking it wasn't much stand for the cost of building it, which was similar to our entire stadium. Perhaps they are installing toilets in their stand.....

I think the large toilet is finished! ... It's the stand that's missing!

Segregation works as long as fans comoly with it. It goes wrong when away fans infiltrate the home area. It causes friction and is unnecessary as there is invariably unused away tickets. We sold out in less than two hours, you had a pub quiz.

I imagine we’ll give you something like 802, extra two being for Reg and Blakey. Although it will be a shame if that happens, as many of the home fans will end up missing out.

A few tried last time, were ejected and missed the final. Why would you try to circumvent the segregation when you didnt even sell your allocation last time? A few tried last time, were successful, and were allowed to move to the away end to join the celebrations after Kedwell choked. me and my daughter were two out of about 25 in the Gravesend side stand

Last season when the Tranmere and Lincoln games were anticipated as being potential title deciders, there were people on here all alarmed that away fans might infiltrate the home end, shock horror. Or how terrible it was that 10 Barrow fans walked into the new stand during an unsegregated match and started supporting their team. Amazingly, nobody was killed to death by hooligans! This is non league for goodness sake; a local derby between two very minor clubs that almost nobody gives a toss about, with an attendance of a couple of thousand. It's not the old firm or Millwall Vs West Ham. The only reason a few fans get pissy about a handful of visiting fans in the wrong area is because the likes of Reg and the police build it up into something it's not. The 382 who attended Ebbsfleet's match against Cambridge suggest there will be plenty of capacity to spare.

I think the concerns were more about potentially depriving Maidstone fans of tickets when at the time it was raised we might still have needed points for survival. As it turned out, we were already safe by then and it wasn't an issue.

just been down and bought mine, joined the queue at 13:50, there were 28 people in front of me. ticket sales started at 2 on the dot, got my 2 adult tickets numbered 44 & 45 at 2:15, plus there were quite a few youths and concessions in the queue before me. as I left, there were a further 50 people queuing
would think there's a pretty good chance of tickets still being available well into this evening

Picked up ticket 00167 from the Spitfire Lounge at around 16.55, so IF being issued in numerical order no panic at the moment......

We have a limit of around 3200 at present. You will have about 830. We have 700+ season ticket holders which leaves about 1700 tix available for casual Fleet fans and neutrals. Whilst I know there will no problem your regulars and ours,the damage is done by those in the wrong place, supporting the other team, goafing when lots of drink has been taken. Lets hope for a game thatbis a credit to Kent and to the Conference. We owe you a beating.

You may turn us over at stonebridge Rd but if u think your defence bar magri at this level especially away from home is good enough you are in for another think coming and yes I don't think ours is neither

Does anyone know if there's many tickets left for today's sale to supporters club members?.Even though i'm traveling over from Brighton today for tonight's match at Sevenoaks,it would be nice not to waste my time going via the Gallagher to Greatness Park if they've sold out or only a tiny amount are left.
