27 july 2013 and it was a warm sunny afternoon in Calais, myself and three others decided 2 months ago to do a rogue friendly game and today was the day.As we approached the stade de l epopee in our imps shirts we saw plenty of stones fans up on the concourse who suddenly burst into a rousing chorus of "we hate Lincoln and we hate Lincoln"..yer like we were bothered but when we arrived up there it was all handshakes and I cant believe you have come all this way to see us. May we take this moment to say what a pleasure it was to meet you all we had some good talks and laughs about footy and our teams, thanks to the guy who bought me my beer thanks to the guy for slapping me on my back saying " nice to see you hanging out with us stones" this was whilst having a wee(sorry no pun intended)but special thanks go out to the lady ..sorry forgot your name who came to find us and presented us with Maidstone badges and also finding an extra one for the younger member of our team this was a great gesture and was a shock to us as we only want to watch footy all in all we had a great couple of days in Calais we had good food, good beer ,and bloody good company at the ground. Please accept our thanks for making this an experience we wont forget and don't want to...once again thanks to everybody who we came across on the day good luck for the forthcoming season and for the future now you are back home in Maidstone...barry ,felice ,lee and josh.

Ha ha, nice one. Thankfully a number of our best players were taken off at half time.
If you check the odds, ours are tightening all the time and given the fact we have already sold more season tickets than the leagues average attendance I think we are worth putting money on.
Make sure you take a trip to the Gallagher Stadium and hopefully one day soon we will play each other

It was nice talking to you before the game and best of luck for the season.
Glad you weren't on our ferry home as it may have lowered your impressions of us!

It was a pleasure to meet you guys. True football fans and glad that you all had a good day with us and il add to Ants comments, anyone that didnt come across as welcoming just wasnt a Stoner. Good luck for the season
