Evening. It sounds like your club is run almost as badly as ours. Our fans also have no option to buy online and our fans have gone on the turn as well. We've travelled well this season I'd expect our allocation to be gone very quickly. Hopefully I will be able to get along. Any chance ohr allocation may be increased if we sell out. Spent a lot of my youth near Maidstone as family had a boat at Allington lock. Good old days on the river and Maidstone Market. Not sure where we have this reputation of being a trouble side. Like all clubs. We have a few dickheads but most of us are pretty decent. Where is best to go pre match for a pint? All the best Our club is run just fine thanks. No transfer embargo or unpaid bills here. Decent crowd against Halifax, with applause for a point at the end. There is a whole discussion on pubs; venture away from the ground and Maidstone East to avoid crowds. Depends what kind of pub you prefer. Your allocation will not be increased.

Fair enough. It was completely tongue in cheek. Everybody knows our clubs a complete basket case. We have a new stadium to look forward to. If we have a club by then.
Never been to a game between our two clubs so tickets permitting, looking forward to another away day.

That’s OK, like most forums we're a bunch of old men who like to moan about everything.
What’s your dream pub? I’m sure there will be a good fit somewhere in Maidstone.

I see Hak has devoted his kmonline interview to say supporters should stop their moaning. Targets social media outlets, presumably facebook and this forum. Also refers to some booing after the Halifax match. Personally I see nothing wrong with supporters venting their disappointment and frustrations on social media, as long as they get behind the team on match day. Which is pretty much what happens.

The booing at the Halifax game was totally unecessary. Booing a draw in the NL!!!

In fairness most clapped. I groan when we give the ball away easily, but have never booed the players. This league has got harder, even since the last time were were in it, with more BELTs.
Southend fans moan their income doesn’t match expenditure and we moan that ours does. When Beth was let go some immediately assumed it was cost cutting, until it emerged she was replaced with a doctor.

He doesn't have to pay £19 to watch it. I've only seen the one game, which was dreadful,so I can't really complain but if the other 12 games have been not much better then I think the fans have every right to complain. I didn't hear any booing but am a little deaf anyway. He mentions that he said staying up will be like winning the league which in reality means he told us it was gonna be shit so stop moaning. He also says he has experience at thus level, well that is indeed correct as he got Braintree relegated. Hak ,please forget the speeches and sort the football out,I still have faith in you to keep the club up so do what you're being paid for and leave the verbal to someone else.

Not all games have been that bad. A few have, especially away, and some have been disappointing but Halifax was far and away the worst game I've seen this season, and in fact for many years. And I still put that performance mainly down to lacking confidence. The fact that we kept going and fought back for a draw will hopefully start to build some confidence and we'll see some improvement over the next few games.

Unfortunately, football is a cruel game as a player or manager and you have to take the rough with the smooth. It can all be accolades and people cheering your name one minute and then, quite rightly, negativity the next. You can't have one without the other - people won't cheer your name and loft you above their heads after not winning 10 in a row for instance. I haven't ever booed us (yet...) but think people are more than entitled to if they're paying their hard earned money following a team around the country ever week.

Modern day football. More entitled fans. Can’t accept losing. Social media and forums are a reality now.
I agree with him as we are 12 games in but I also agree with paying fans rights to voice an opinion.

Even Hak has admitted that his summer signings didn't improve the squad. He seems to excuse this fact and the team's recent performances by saying that other clubs have got bigger playing budgets. We know this but its Hak's job to succeed in a tough environment. Mission impossible ? NO ! Just bloody difficult.

I don't think Hak has got a hope in thinking supporters won't moan if the team plays poorly. There will always be a few on match days too, which is out of order, but you get it everywhere. As long as the number remain 'a few'. Social media, now that's different.

So we are in the relegation zone and concede goals for fun. Worst still, we are bottom of the form league. If supporters want to moan they have every right, EXCEPT not on match day !

I think booing afterwards is at least understandable - but when fans sing 'we're f**king shit' and 'we lose every week' mid-game, I think that's way way worse. Anyone's head would drop after hearing that and it's not going to boost the players in any way when they probably most need it.

Probably not helped by Hak giving the impression that it would be a miracle if we escaped relegation and Terry Casey forecasting mid table or even better. All about expectation management I guess. You get one person setting the bar too low and the other being more than a shade optimistic.
