Many thanks to Oxford Stone for his efforts in counting and rounding up on the coach (p.s. sorry again for relegating you in 2006) and to the many Stones fans for making Ian and I so welcome. Not me! Possibly Oxfordinmaid! Mind you I posted I was giving a lift to stonestv when I meant stoneslive...

I had assumed it was, what with jt's past record n' all. Oh tempores, oh mores! So you did actually pass Latin A-level? The Cicero I studied said "O tempora, o mores!" Oh I thought it didn't sound right! But I was typing the post with the light off...

Statto time! Here's one to bookmark if you want to look out for Calais' results next season. www.soccerway.com/national/france/cfa-2/20132014/group-a/r22224/ As mentioned elsewhere, they're at the 5th level. French pyramid is 1-1-1-4-8 (Ligue 1, Ligue 2, National, CFA, CFA2) As well as their cup final in 2000, they got to the last 8 in 2006, last 32 in 2007, last 64 in 2009... and went bust in 2010! fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stade_de_l'%C3%89pop%C3%A9e record crowd 11825 (capacity 12432)

A big sorry from me and apologies for any nonsense. Thanks meerkat 87 and to others who helped. Can't handle drink very well . . Never could.! Hate the the thought of causing offence and am ashamed. Joined in with some of the Stones songs but am a bit naive with the political claptrap. Thanks to Lunch and Ants mate who picked me up off the floor and bundled me in a cab. Thanks to Des also. Sober tomorrow night!

Never seen a single one of those at a Stones game before and naturally hope I never see them again Sorry to disappoint you but a lot of these men go to Maidstone games regularly.

No he was "having a day off". He did get very excited when he saw the press area with about 30 seats though. Far cry from Ashford Middlesex!

Salut Maidstone Supporters!
I hope that all genuine Maidstone supporters enjoyed visiting the Epopee.No surprise about the antics of a few - there seems to be something about visiting Calais which brings out the worst in some English people.I think its a legacy of the 'Booze Cruise' days (remember that?...).Sadly, it seems to happen whenever we invite an English club.Ah well........
I wouldn't say our stade is 'wasted on the Calais few....', but it's not greatly loved either, as it was one of the factors which brought the club to within 40 minutes of going out of business in 2008 (yes - off-field mismanagement and financial ruin are another common factor in our club histories....)
Calais play in the Championnat de France Amateur (CFA) 2. Because of the structure of French football, it's difficult to draw direct comparisons - it would roughly equate to Conference South.Unfortunately, the debt repayment plan (agreed in 2008 in order to save the club) means that we cannot be promoted until the debt is cleared - at current estimate that'll be CFA2 football until 2018 (at the earliest).
I'm glad we're having a return fixture - I can assure you there'll be one Calais supporter there!!! Usually I'm just passing Maidstone on the M20, heading for Calais.For many years, I've had the honour of being a member of the supporters club 'Calais Toujours' (only English member in its history), so I'll do my best to get everyone along.
Thanks for having me on your forum - if anyone wants to know more about CRUFC, let me know.All the best for the new season - I shall now be following Maidstone with interest. Nice to have you here, and as for my question, what is the name of your mascot? and what is it supposed to be? A football with red hair or what? thanks in advance

Hello calaisangleterre. Would you be able to name some of your players / numbers from the game? I can't find anything online from either team!
