There's loads available for Maidstone fans and people can't get rid of them.
Meaning?
Was there snow in the Southern counties overnight !There's loads available for Maidstone fans and people can't get rid of them.
Which is how it should be in any civilised societyWe are very tribal in the UK. I watch games in Spain now and almost every match away fans are mixed in the home ends…although there is a code of conduct whereby they are not out to cause any bother and are respectful.

Segregation creates the atmosphere that adds so muchI prefer it like that. Football should be tribal (within the realms of common sense), us vs them. As an away fan too, when you go to a ground and it's intimidating (rarely anymore now).
I do tend to agree overall, I’ve enjoyed the thrill of that for many years….although your attitude does change a bit as you get older.I prefer it like that.

You won't have a problem in general, it's just away fans in the home end that might get on some people's nerves if they struggle to contain themselves. Most people in pubs and en route will be happy to have a chat.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.
Everything will be fine before and after the game. The issue would be away fans in the home end celebrating anything during the game. If you get stuffed it won't be a problem.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.

Excellent , I hope many of you enjoy some of the medieval old buildings and a few of our character pubs. Spend plenty of money and enjoy yourselves.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.

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 nice. Where the Cobbold stand is long, we couldn’t get a sense of ourselves as a group. Suspect it will be different where your away section is a deep end. Might help with singing. The result itself is in the hands of the gods.You won't have a problem in general, it's just away fans in the home end that might get on some people's nerves if they struggle to contain themselves.

You would be surprised how many Spanish fans travel. The distances are mostly long but at our local team Elche we get big turnouts from some teams. Almería , Albacete, Sevilla, Barca, Valencia, Levante, Bilbao and of course the Madrid teams.That's mainly because there isn't any away fan culture in Spain. They are known for their non-existent away followings.
Segregation is in most leagues in Europe. It's not a UK thing.
I’ve been to Real Madrid twice and Barcelona twice. On all 4 occasions I don’t recall seeing a single away fan.You would be surprised how many Spanish fans travel.

There are many universities in the locality which provide some of this support too.
Just Yesterday Elche took 2000+ to Cartagena.

I went away with Elche to Valencia, there were about 2000 of us, some on an official away section , some just scattered around.
Regarding away fans in the home end, there will be a few but keep your heads down and you'll be fine.
if you don't you'll likely get the piss taken out of you and then be removed from the ground.
There will be a handful who would of tried to get home tickets when they can "sold out"I will be surprised. Maidstone fans are giving tickets away on their forum. Seems loads purchased before realising the difficult Monday night journey.
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.There will be a handful who would of tried to get home tickets when they can "sold out"
We went to watch Málaga play Villarreal and there was not a single away fan there. This was a Saturday in early September.You would be surprised how many Spanish fans travel.

Agree. I enjoyed the atmosphere before the play-off semi where you had Boro fans in shirts/colours having a pint with us in the fan zone behind the east stand. Admittedly that was a more special occasion than normal games.I feel that inside the ground it should always be tribal within reason. It helps create a good atmosphere
Outside the ground however I like to see fans mixing with each other.
It would have been fairer for them if the match had been played on Saturday.I will be surprised. Maidstone fans are giving tickets away on their forum. Seems loads purchased before realising the difficult Monday night journey.
Oh that was the pink jacket poking his head over the parapet also the doors left until HT to stop people getting out?I hope there won’t be any in the home end. On Friday there were reps from CCC, WMP, SAG, EFL all checking standing, smoking and the other, as the Coucil bastards are trying to say we’re operating outside our licence regs. Looks like they are out for revenge and are trying to close parts of the ground. Pete, did you go to the last meeting in the stewards room?
us too, we wouldnt have had to sit through that garbage on friday nightIt would have been fairer for them if the match had been played on Saturday.

I think ours would have been Tuesday if we weren’t playing Friday night. So it was a good excuse to move to the Monday. This is down to the Prem looking after themselves and stuffing the rest of football up,But it couldn’t be played on Saturday as the 5th round is deliberately a midweek round to avoid disrupting the weekend games. Until they move it to Monday, obviously…
As an aside, all last seasons’ 5th round games were on Tuesday/Wednesday, as they should be.
All the cup games should be played at a weekend but now it seems the power that be want to devalue a great competition for the sake of premiership tv.It would have been fairer for them if the match had been played on Saturday.
I think it’s back to a Saturday next seasonAll the cup games should be played at a weekend but now it seems the power that be want to devalue a great competition for the sake of premiership tv.
Isnt that arse about face? We weren’t playing on Friday until the cup game was scheduled on Monday.I think ours would have been Tuesday if we weren’t playing Friday night.
