An excellent film, which underlines why football at all levels desperately needs truly independent regulation. Watch the documentary and decide for yourself if the current governance at
@TheVanaramaNL
(aided and abetted by
@FA
) is fit for purpose…

Fantastic win

Cup 2nd Rd thanks to an outstanding team effort. Well done John, Hak, Ryan, all the players, squad and staff and the fans for making the Gallagher rock like the old days! 💪🏽🍸🍸🍸
NATIONAL LEAGUE funding distribution SCANDAL. Using estimates of Independent Review Panel’s revised club funding formula, we find that 7 of the 8 Board members paid their own clubs £530,000 more than they should have.
@FA
so far refuse to sanction this possible abuse of power 😳
Brilliant away win for
@maidstoneunited
Pressure? What pressure? This team just knows how to win, very well done Hak and all your merry men, onwards and upwards 👏👏👏🖤💛😎
Great to see 2600 Stones fans rewarded with a third derby win in a row, heady times, enjoy them! Full marks to the players and staff, hard work paying off, onwards and upwards !

after all…George’s team played delightful football at time, so with the same skill, desire, belief and courage for the next few games our players just might pull off a great escape…👊💛🖤
Huge shout out to the
@maidstoneunited
team, players and staff, that had to be furloughed due to financial side-effects of the Covid crisis. Owners, sponsors, fans all feel for you and wish you well. We’ll be back when the fans are too...
Encouraging pre-season comes to a close, looks like a strong, quick-passing team being put together by Hak; well done to staff and players for their hard preparation work under difficult circumstances; fingers crossed for the next few days 🖤💛
@maidstoneunited
How encouraging is that for the Stones…penalties is a lottery but we matched a club at the top of National League for 90 mins, great effort from Hak and his team 👏👏👏 onwards and upwards 💛🖤
Yessss, got through the border controls and now on our way to England after nearly two years away!
Looking forward to meeting the
@maidstoneunited
team and seeing the wonderful Gallagher Stadium again. + we’re absurdly excited by the prospect of football in Chelmsford tomorrow 😎
Strong comeback to earn a first home win for
@maidstoneunited
thanks to a hard-working performance, congrats to Hak and all his team on and off the field, onwards and upwards 😎💛🖤👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏
Can’t wait for new football season, only a month away. Some promising
@maidstoneunited
players announced and others pending. It’s not easy to match deep-pocketed rivals but we will aim to compete for promotion with playing budget set at a sensible, sustainable level.

Brilliant
@maidstoneunited
what a superb win, hats off to players and staff, deserved for the travelling fans, such tension at the end
@stones_tv
Wow, need to sit down and breathe deeply now...
#COYS
@maidstoneunited
fans: Terry and I are still considering National League resolution issues. We set out our views recently. We are suffering financially due to NL botched Oct grant allocation and reluctant to risk club taking out loans. We will vote shortly.
Yes definitely Henry, we always recruit with a sustainable budget in mind and it has been standing us in good stead for 10 years. Thanks for asking
@maidstoneunited
Another win means
@suttonunited
close to
@EFL
obliging them to replace their 3G pitch at great cost to club and community. Why not allow them two years’ grace to use it before replacement? If EFL clubs don’t agree perhaps an independent football regulator would see the sense?
Still no word from National League HQ to say they will publish the independent review of their Board’s funding distributions. Shameful. No more excuses. Publish or be damned. If you agree, please retweet and get

Massively looking forward to

Tough time for
@maidstoneunited
right now, three defeats, but still third, all these chances must now be converted into goals, players need to step up, meanwhile life goes on, we need to breathe deeply and keep supporting the team
#COYS
Let nobody think it’s done yet or that we might think for a minute that it’s done yet. Four more games to go, absolute focus and intensity required 💛🖤👊
This really is the last straw. Together with other clubs we shall now prepare a resolution to urgently call an EGM to debate a motion of no confidence in the NL Board
National League showing amazing leadership by fining clubs for having no money due to a global pandemic that meant that fans could not attempt matches. Way to go NL.
Frustrating defeat 💛🖤 lacked our usual spark and precision, but still matched a good Dorking side, the boys worked really hard, were unlucky to lose, terrific support 👏👏👏

@chrisinsilico
Thank you for your invaluable work in continuing to search for the truth and exposing the lies and corruption of Johnson and Brexit campaign
So National League EGM shows that vast majority of North /South division clubs have no confidence in the Board while top division clubs support current regime and rules. This divided league clearly needs complete reset as part of the fan-led review of football governance
Excitement definitely building in Stones camp ahead of new season; new player signings, fans back in Gallagher Stadium, new sponsorships and new kits. Thanks again to you generous fans and partners not claiming full refunds after a wasted season. Big news days coming soon!

@sligorovers
Interesting to compare business models. Similar budgets, pricing, crowds, but many differences too. Good luck to Sligo Rovers this season!
The Government funding of National League clubs should have been a win-win for all clubs in difficult times. Instead the League have made a total pig's ear of it and refuse to back down. No more excuses. Change is needed urgently.

🚨 Our final league game of the season will be all-ticket.
After a third release of tickets sold out over the weekend, the decision has been taken do advance sales only, with no pay on the day option.

What a pleasure and relief to see Stones pick up a much-needed, rare home win; some delightful football as well, congrats to players and staff 💛🖤😎
