Margate Supporters Club in search of more members

Many of you will be aware that the membership of the MSC committee has undergone change since the start of the season. Currently we are short in numbers and at times, when personal circumstances intervene, thin on the ground. 

Nevertheless we are endeavouring to do all that is expected of us and will continue to do so. However, isn't there always a however?!, new blood would be very welcome particularly from younger members. (I deliberately avoid a definition of ‘younger’!). 

Should anyone have even the tiniest flicker of interest please contact the secretary, Keith Lewis, by email (keith.lewis2008@talktalk.net) or telephone (01843 226963) for an informal chat. 

There is absolutely no obligation attached. It is well-known that the membership has doubled from last year and we wish to ensure that the supporters’ association flourishes and moves forward in tandem with the club. Please give it your consideration.

Supporters Club ready for Cup Magic

After the extraordinary evening last Tuesday it might be easy to dismiss this Saturday as ‘after the Lord Mayor’s Show’ but that would be wrong. The same enthusiasm shown in backing the players to a fantastic win needs to be repeated to ensure the F.A.Cup adventure continues. Let’s be heard chanting and singing loudly.

MSC now has its own HQ on match days this being situated next to the Security Office which in turn is near the catering facility. Here you can join the supporters’ association, collect your membership card, book away coach travel, find out about events and buy 50:50 tickets if you haven’t done so earlier. Or just stop for a chat with a committee member. We look forward to meeting you.

Blues fans urged to make noise against Maidstone

This evening is undoubtedly the clash of the season to date. Maidstone are likely to bring with them a large following no doubt intending to turn Hartsdown into a replica of the Gallagher Stadium – without the all-weather pitch of course! It’s up to us, the Margate fans, to ensure that doesn’t happen. 

Let’s make the noise for the boys in blue deafening so everyone is acutely aware who the home side is. Enjoy the game and let’s make it a night to remember for all the right reasons.
