@justafan1m Poor football in the first half of the season and over-active security making the Gallagher a less welcoming place. Club needs to reconnect with fans.

🚨Maidstone Attendances ⬇️ 15%!!🚨 I’ve noticed it, you’ve noticed it. The numbers confirm it. Maidstone United attendances for 2025/26 Men’s first-team games across all competitions has dropped by 15% Vs. 2024/25. This is despite exactly the same number of games (25) being played there across all competitions. Whilst there were 3 extra midweek games this year, 2 of these related to KSC cup games where lower attendances are expected anyway. The stats (all comps): Total Attendance: 4️⃣9️⃣,7️⃣9️⃣0️⃣ Avg Weekend: 1️⃣,9️⃣9️⃣2️⃣ Avg Midweek: 1️⃣,4️⃣3️⃣9️⃣ Highest: 3️⃣,3️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ (Worthing, NLS) Lowest: 3️⃣3️⃣5️⃣ (Charlton U21’s, KSC) For context, last year the total attendance across all games was 58,794 with average weekend attendances being 2,435. For me, there’s a couple of reasons that could explain this decline. 1. The match day experience just isn’t what it was. The food outlets have changed. The smoking/non-smoking saga also caused huge upset (I don’t smoke for the record). Prices have gone up slightly. 2. Club vision. There isn’t one. We say playoffs every year and National League promotion and have the playing budget of a mid-table side. Fans are clearly no longer getting on board with that. Hopefully some things can move over the summer to make sure we start getting the numbers we used to. Because on its day, the Gallagher can absolutely roar!! COYS! 🖤💛

The Green Party has complained about this cartoon of Zack Polanski by the The Times. They’re deeply unhappy with it. Whatever you do, do not repost!

@Kevin_Maguire Kent Council is doing just fine thanks Red Kev.

Vote Reform, get a worse council and councillors.

@wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk Maybe your useless government could do something about it? Just a thought??

An attack on Britain’s Jewish community is an attack on us all and our way of life. This is happening again and again and again. I’d like to thank Hatzola, Shomrim, and the emergency services for their swift response - but we’ve got more to do as a government and as a country.

#Polanski had an absolute mare here despite what he might claim. When you end up arguing with the journalist you know you're messages are built on sand.

Using actors to deliver presentation training is so powerful. Top tips from the world of performance, calms nerves and improves voice and body language to engage an audience. Don't deliver dull presentation skills training.

@bromleyfc Pop to @maidstoneunited for next season. Star player.

Skipper Byron Webster has announced that Saturday's match against Walsall will be his last as a Bromley player. Webby, without you at the helm of our squad, we wouldn't be where we are today. An inspiration and example to each and every one of your teammates, past and present. That penalty at Wembley will go down in Bromley FC history forever. Captain. Leader. Legend.

@maidstoneunited Great effort. Unlucky. In the words of the great Jay Saunders.. "we go again".

The Stones showed great character to come back in that second half but have missed out on the play-offs on goal difference ⏰ We did all we could but have fallen just short, be proud of the boys! 🖤💛

@bbc cancel Football Focus....i wonder why?.........

The most dishonest, hypocritical, odious, deceptive, sleaziest, overrated and unfit Prime Minister in my lifetime. Resign.

@Craigfagan7 @maidstoneunited Best of luck Craig!

Delighted and honoured to be appointed manager of @maidstoneunited when George departs at the end of the season. A great opportunity to build on the work we’ve put in together over the last three years. 1 of 2

Hard to argue with this isn't it?

Awkward

🚨NEW: Family tax bills have risen to £4k under Rachel Reeves, double that of Rishi Sunak's warning in the 2024 GE

But..no..but "growth is a priority" they parrot.

@libdemdaisy Or maybe having an anti-business Government Daisy???

This is an indictment of Trump's idiotic war and all those who cheered it on - including Reform UK and the Conservatives

Labour Britain.

@maidstoneunited A legend. Probably time is right. But what memories. Thank you George
