Happy Christmas Paul .To those who were not there i can only say 'having watched football at home and abroad for many years Paul is the only chairman whose name i have ever witnessed chanted from the terraces like that of a successful manager or star striker. That respect and admiration still quietly exist among many of the oldies . We may gripe about what he did and did not do but he did lay the foundation for the club we have today . A buoyant club with a new town center stadium . Terry & Oliver will always be the men who brought the Stones Home. But Paul Laid the foundations and for that thanks Paul

No it was Mildenhall, one of my first matches back in the fold. I didn't go, of course, it was nearly as far as Halifax.

To me it could have been anywhere by KO time that day
I think the Hendon comment was a little bit of sarcasm for an earlier misspelling by me, HS

I knew that. Except calling Kingstonian Hendon can hardly be classed as a misspelling...

It was the autospell, HS. I don't have such facility but if it is good enough for everyone else....

I think it was over a very large unpaid tax bill, not disclosed to the new purchasers (Oliver and Terry) I could be wrong. On another note I would like to thank Paul for buying the club from Jim Thompson for a £ and finding a place to build our future home. If he hadn't done that we may not had a team today. I also like to thank all those supporters who kept the dream alive. I started following them again when they were elected to the Kent League 2001/02 season, I hardly missed a home Game since. I'd to thank Sittingbourne FC for the use of their pitch, even though some of our supporters thought it was a rum deal, Ashford was a worse move,but a pitch, is a pitch wherever it is,something we never had at the time. I still wonder why some of the Stones fans would rather go to places like Leatherhead,Walton Casuals, Slade Green,etc, etc, etc,rather than go to Sittingbourne. The past is in the past and the future of the club is with new owners,with a good business plan to take the club further. We'll still have our ups and downs, that's Football for you. I would never want to go back to Slade Green again!

I wouldn't want to go there again either, and I've never been there!

Don't ;isten to grumpy Nick, jdl. Slade Green was a fabulous experience with Shakey's cameo in the bin capping a great day. If kentishragstone is confused as to why people would rather go to Walton Casuals than Sittingbourne then that is probably because there is no football ground to go to in Sittingbourne .

I would rather go to Walton Casuals as it is more local . Sittingbourne have had three grounds and lost them all .That's just carelessness

Your stats might change in the second half when the library end move up the townend and get the atmosphere going properly

Slade Green FC don't exist any more, though the pitch is still there for training / parks football.
