Is it not forever the Elvis Stand, no matter what sponsorship deals are done?

Well if 'we' stump up another £25,231 it will be called 'the fans stand' - although I guess then the fans could rename it Elvis. {Noob alert} - no idea where 'Elvis' came from.

I can't even name the various stand sponsors. Lucas something? Probaby great local businesses. The only one that is up for grabs is the riverside. The rest are taken.

Suppose it will always be town end and Elvis end regardless of the sponsor.

I think it's nice that 6 or 7 years on, some of us still remember Elvis, let's not forget him and several others we lost on our journey!

Elvis was long standing supporter from years and years back. He was well known amongst us all and ardent Maidstone United. Sadly he became ill with cancer and the last game he went to attend was Swindon Supermarine away where he was unfortunately too ill to leave the coach. He died shortly afterwards. His ashes were scattered at The Gallagher. Here is a link Elvis

I ran that coach that day with Nigel (trolley) we had a big scare that day when having a mid journey break at a service station, everyone was back at the coach except Elvis even his wife was sitting on the coach We obviously knew how ill he was, both me and Nigel went looking for him feering the worse (I admit to thinking what am I going to do if he had died) we found him coming out the toilets, I think he'd had trouble doing his trousers up! I thought he had seen the game, but I could be wrong, let's hope he didn't see it as we were crap (no really crap) I knew then there wasn't a lot of time left and knowing they weren't particularly flush I found his mate Colin at the next match and gave him their money back (Ellis wasn't well enough to attend) as I felt he wasn't going going to see many more matches! One of the best things I did, he died not long after!

Elvis did see the Swindon Supermarine match as I remember him in the clubhouse before the match and outside during the game. I think we all knew it would be his last game.
