We’ve just tied him down to a longer deal, so he gets to prove he can win promotion as well as have a decent cup run. Maidstone are the ultimate yo-yo club, not big enough for the National League, but regularly promoted from the National South. But we’re also resigned to losing him one day. We...

It’s over my friend. Time to move on and stop arguing with the locals. I’m really going to miss all the social media attention. But it’s back to the dull grind of the National League South. Let these nice people turn their attention to bigger matters. Thank you everyone at Coventry for a great...

Some of us don’t want to return to the National League, full of semi bankrupt and heavily bankrolled clubs. Ten years of profitability were built on part time wages and full time crowds. It was a disastrous NL relegation season that saw our first loss since returning home.

We have a handful of drunken teenage idiots, encouraged by a middle aged alcoholic Premier League fan. Saw one of them being dragged off, and stupidly resisting. 4800 was spot on. Once the initial queue bought what they wanted, there were less than 100 tickets that took much longer to sell...

We lost a generation of young fans in the exile years. Now we have hundreds of local kids playing on the main stadium pitch. Being at your impressive ground and Ipswich is something they will never forget. Some criticised the lack of tickets available for general sale, but I’m glad they got...

A lot of them were our youth team players, or regular fans. Listening to the mums on the coach discussing unauthorised primary school absences, the younger ones are mostly already associated with Maidstone United in some capacity. A few of the adult fans, not so much. But that’s how you build a...

Really can’t complain about the result. Unlike at Ipswich, we were able to get into some pretty good forward positions, but didn’t know what to do when there. Failing To lay off the ball, put in a cross, or passing the ball all the way back to the keeper. Coventry made Maidstone look like the...

Sorry. Multi quoting on a coach and it wouldn’t let me unquote you.

Thanks, but we’re not a hard up charity case. We’ve made £1.8 million profits in ten years since building the new ground, plus £750,000 so far from this cup run. An unlikely win tonight would take our winnings well beyond a million.

Once stood in the home end of Millwall’s old Den. Which was interesting when my team were winning. Doubt there will be any Maidstone outside the away section.

I’ll be happy with one goal and a fighting performance.

Although we sold out quickly, there are spare tickets floating around for those who want them. Wouldn’t have minded being in the home end for Ipswich to see our fans as a whole group going mental. Ipswich was my big club growing up. There’s quite a debate among their fans about being seen as too...

I was the only Maidstone fan on the train to Cambridge after the Ipswich game. Everyone was fine, even curious enough to have a chat. Unless there’s something different in the water in Coventry, I’m looking forward to a pint in the city centre and then taking a bus to the ground.

It was set up that way to stop Maidstone fans going in the home end like at Ipswich. But it’s clear any Maidstone fan who wanted a ticket got one, even if via resale. It would be safe to open it up, but of course that’s up to you.

You could have got 60-1 on Maidstone beating Ipswich with Sam Corne scoring. Im not a gambler, but might have to visit a betting shop before boarding my coach.

Worked before Ipswich. Had the pitch resized to match Portman Road.

And the fact it”s not plastic.

Bearsted FC help recreate the CBS Arena. Just like K Sports did with Portman Road.

Although don’t be surprised if George doesn’t have a surprise or two to deal with on the night. He is very tactically astute, and will come a with a game plan that won’t necessarily be the same as Ipswich.

I suspect you’re right.
