What happened to today's storm?? Just normal rain and a bit windy here! The Eastern side of the county especially the coast took the brunt of it. We are the eastern side of the country - and pretty near the coast! I've seen more wind on just an average windy day.

The forecast for Chesham tomorrow is looking marginally better - only light rain showers today, and less heavy rain tomorrow morning. And only light rain showers and even some SUN during the game!
Just hoping they make a decision as early as possible - before 10:55 would be nice!

Maidstone is officially west Kent and if you saw the videos I posted on Facebook from the coast you would see just how nasty it was.

I hope we don't take them too lightly,if we don't concentrate they'll beat us.

If anyone is planning to go and hasn't bought tickets, you better get there very early because there's only 250 left

Right, predictions?
I'm going 3-1. Amantchi with a couple and Sol with the other.
They'll be right up for this though so we'll need an early goal to take the wind out of their sails.
Anyone know what pub people are heading to before the game?

Will be tight this is their cup final in front of a full house at home so we will need to be up for it for 90 mins. Draw wouldn’t surprise me but think we can squeeze a win 2-1.

Spot on - they've already beaten one NS side, and we're probably the best draw they could hope for, home against a 'big' enough club to attract spectators, but (on current form) beatable. We've got to go all out for it from the first moment - take them very seriously. But, looking at the last three games, can we do this? We should be OK for at least one goal, but we haven't really got a strike force consistent enough to worry them. One goal for them, especially an early one (and probably a pen!) and we'll be chasing shadows. Still, right now I'd settle for a draw...

Well, looking out of the window, I think I can guarantee one thing today - we're going to get wet!

I'm in the club bar, all supporters mingling together,no sign if trouble so the police have closed it leaving 80 people queueing for beer disappointed and angry. There is now an amount if ill feeling as home fans are blaming away fans for the police decision,if there's trouble then it's all down to inept policing.🤬🤬🤬🤬

Now the test. Can 100 slightly drunk men deal with a little bit of animosity without resorting to agro.

1-0 - to us!
Aransybia (if that's how it's spelt!). A bit against the fun of play - they hit the bar just minutes before. Impressive crowd and good turnout of Stones.
Weird how many of the 2,000+ Chesham fans have colours though - for a club that averages about 500 attendance...
