2540 at Chatham's match on Monday, v 1700 or so at the Gallagher. Take off 250 Barnet fans and numerous missing ST holders and they probably had close to double our gate Hard to believe we got over 4000 this time last year.

If we are not careful the player could turn out to be the real victim. The long term injury and repercussions could last for many, many years and I'm not talking about the cat. Some seriously harsh and intolerant views have been expressed. Are they really standing up for commendable principles ? Just feels all too 'holier than thou'. Too intolerant and unforgiving. You were utterly intolerant of David Smith for simply going to a different club. I reserve the right to be intolerant of animal cruelty

Sword and nws are getting a bit over themselves. He did wrong, no question, but in the great scheme of things, there are many, many, worse offences. Has he apologised ? YES ! Is he sorry ? YES ! Has he served his punishment ? YES ! His crime should not be a life sentence. Zouma should be given another chance imo. So enjoy watching him. I hold a different view. You are operating on low moral standards.

The World can be a hateful place if you look hard enough but this argument is def OTT and lacking in perspective. So what is your argument for backing someone complicit in animal cruelty?

Just popped in to see whether the powers that be on this board has decided whether I have to support a Maidstone team with Zouma in it or if I have to boycott.

This conversation could go on forever.
Supporters will do what they feel is right and should not be judged for it.
I will go and support the team, regardless of him being part of it, this doesn't mean I'm not against what he did, I just support Maidstone United and won't let one player stop that.
Sword (and others) don't want to, that's fair enough, it doesn't make them less of a supporter and I understand their reasons.
Zouma is a good player so George will need to decide one way or another.

So presumably you boycott Timpsons because many of their shops are run by ex-cons who are given a chance to rehabilitate themselves? No need to use Timpsons though I admit I didn't know that fact. Here is a little fact of my own. I spent 35 years helping ,mostly women,those who were abused beaten up and tortured just like that poor cat. I've looked into the eyes of the Scum that did it and I've seen them come crawling on their hands and knees begging forgiveness as reformed characters, wives and girlfriends giving them second chances only to end up dead or beaten to a pulp within weeks.Scum do not change,they fo not want to change. I'd also like to point out that everyone thought Mario Celaire was a nice bloke. I know 75% of our supporters will not know who he is but I hope he is never released from prison. I will also put my hand up to being no angel ,I've put people in hospital but I've never hit anyone who didn't deserve it and I'll do it again if sine piece if shit asks for it. Not one penny of my money will go into Zouma's wallet, I'll leave it to you to pay his wages whilst he laughs in your faces. Judge, Jury and Executioner Sword, were you Robocop in another life?

You are happy to accept his comment that we are over ourselves, which is rubbish. It could just be that we hold a different view. As a result we are voting with our feet. You trot along with your bucket of redemption and enjoy. I won't be coming to watch him.

He's not been given a pardon.
He was complicit to his brother's wrong doing and has paid the penalty.
It does not mean the guy should continue to be penalised for the rest of his days.
Thats what is meant by perspective. You just havn't got any.
We all agree the boy did wrong. He's paid the price, expressed regret numerous times, time now to move on.
Let him have a life.

You've got no hope of nws moving on.
No hope of him having second thoughts, no hope of him giving Zouma a second chance, no hope of him reflecting he may be wrong, no hope of changing his intolerant attitude, no hope of opening a closed mind, no hope that nws will ever give up on his crusade against the poor guy.

I have a horrible feeling that nws will not let this go.
He will just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

I think Zouma's worst personality issue is being a complete dick-head as somebody mentioned. No suggestion that he has ever previously or since been connected with any animal cruelty incident. To bar him from playing football from now until eternity is not proportionate. I will exercise my right to carry on supporting the club with or without Zouma in the line up. If I have to put up with poison arrows flying in my direction from Herne Bay, sobeit.
