At the end of the day you don't get the status loyal fan because you've decided for the last 2 yrs plus to follow the stones during there best period/best squad etc since reforming because they've returned home and there a walk away from your doorstep every other Saturday! Because you bother to go to Stevenage away in the biggest game in 20 yrs doesn't make you loyal! After following the stones from 1985-92 then not returning the follow again until 2007 to present! The only fans I would look at as loyal are the 100-3/400 who were the there from 92 to present those who bothered with the 30/50 mile round trips to Ashford and sittingbourne! And years of watching a struggling side at away game across the south east ! Not those who sat indoors watching soccer Saturday saying when maidstone come home I'll go,it's easy to think your loyal I guess when everything is rosey and it's on your doorstep! It's actually a insult to those loyal ones who actually acted and did something about not just said it! -)

Okay Payno, you are a martyr. But let me tell you this. If the 'mavericks' who abandoned the club and then turned up again more recently with their 1989 scarves bought from the club shop at Watling Street hadn't bothered, nor had the newer supporters who didn't give the club the time of day until we moved to The Gallagher, we would still have the '100 - 3/400' 'loyals' as you put it going to games now. Would you rather that than the club raking in the cash from crowds of 1,500 - 2,200? Would that make you feel happy, because you're still a part of an elite band of loyal supporters?
This sort of utter, utter garbage is constantly regurgitated on this forum, like a bad Carry On Movie that just never gets put to bed for good by ITV.
People can choose to do whatever they want with their support and their money. You are not God, and nor are any other supporters who went to watch Maidstone play against Snodland. The rest of us don't give a sh*t.

I think it is reasonable for people who have been coming regularly for the last 2 or 3 seasons to start thinking of themselves as loyal because they are, after all, putting their money where their mouth is. It is disappointing to see crowds dropping slightly despite the monumental season being had so far. The real loyalty will be tested when we have a poor season. That usually sorts the wheat from the chaff. |

The rest of us don't give a sh*t. For the record he never said that people were not welcome or that you couldn't do what you want with your money. He merely made a comment on what can be considered as loyal. Please note that I saw us in that infamous 3-3 draw against Snodland and I have the label of God next to my name. Thus, you are incorrect and will accept your apology. |

Are you saying he has no right to express an opinion on who is loyal and who is not? I am glad to see you are in awe of me though. Thanks, Toony-babes. It means a lot  |

Currently in Bridport so didn't fancy the 350 mile round trip, god I'm a bad man! However cutting the holiday short and coming back Thursday, glory hunter as I am! M25 permitting obviously! ;-) Edit just noticed I've managed to 'like' my own post! There are 6 options: 1) too much Palmers Dorset Gold 2) too much French Red 3) phone screen too small 4) stronger glasses needed 5) fat thumbs 6) I've become a sad bastard like NWS Answers 1-5 are all true And if ans 6 is right then get me help! ;-) I think it is 6, Tim. I've noticed you agreeing with me a lot lately. Welcome to the world of being right all the time and others not seeing it because they are beneath you. |

If it wasn't for those great County/Kent League supporters who kept the club alive when nobody cared we wouldn't be in the position we are now. We can, finally, expand the capacity of the ground and sign some of the players we currently have, because the lazy people have turned up. With your logic you can truly see that only a few hundered supporters are truly loyal and i, for one will always be in awe of the supporters who followed the team during the lean years. I especially love NWS because he is a true God amongst mere mortals. We are all now supporters of the club, regardless of when we started watching Maidstone but people need remember because its a competition I hope that helps, Toonster |

Not sure if anyone can actually win on this one, you don't go to a game, your a glory hunter. You go to the next game, its classed as a big one, your a glory hunter.
Can't afford to go to the game, need to feed your family, your not loyal. Go along to the game, starve your family for the night, your a bad person.
Haven't got the time, your a glory hunter. Got all the time in the world, can't get transport to the ground, your a glory hunter.
Come on, give over, we all support the team, even if we cannot make every single game going. (well done Daveu (sincerely))

(well done Daveu (sincerely)) Is this an admission that you are a glory hunting bus person who has starved his family and doesn't support the team. What a disgrace and I thought you sounded so nice! |
