Parking
There is no unreserved car parking available at the stadium itself.
Other car parks (pay and display) are located at Invicta House (five minute walk), Sandling Road (five minute walk), Maidstone East Train Station (seven minute walk) and Fremlin Walk (ten minute walk).

Maidstone Lions operate a charity car park at Maidstone Job Centre Plus (Staceys Street) on matchday Saturdays.

Fancy a walk along the River Medway on matchdays? Park at Lockmeadow Centre on Barker Road (ME16 8LW). Cross Lockmeadow Millennium Bridge and pass All Saints Church and the Archbishops’ Palace, along the towpath to the Gallagher Stadium.

By Train
There are two railway stations located close to the stadium. Maidstone East which is only a quarter of a mile away and Maidstone Barracks, which is half a mile away. However most fans are likely to end up at Maidstone East as it is served by trains from London Victoria and Ashford International.

Maidstone East is only about a five minute walk away from the Gallagher Stadium. As you come out of Maidstone East Station walk up the station approach to the main road. At this road turn left and then go straight across the next two roundabouts and you will find the stadium located in front of you. Turn left at the T-Junction and the main entrance is down on the right.

Where to eat & drink:
There is a large supporters club at the stadium itself (located next to the main entrance) called the Spitfire Lounge which welcomes visiting supporters. This also has the benefit of having BT and Sky Sports Sports to view the early kick offs. Also close to the stadium on Sandling Road (just off the main roundabout by the stadium) is the White Rabbit pub and restaurant. A few minutes walk further along Sandling Road is the Flower Pot pub, which is listed in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. The stadium is only a ten-minute walk away from the town centre, where there are plenty of pubs to be found, including two Wetherspoons outlets. The closest of these is the Society Rooms on Week Street, which is also in the Good Beer Guide.

Think this game could turn out to be another really difficult game against a team who have not had a good start to their league campaign. They’ve just appointed a new manager from Billericay and he’s brought in on loan their captain. Need to be really up for this because he might change their usual way of playing and i would expect their crowd to be really behind the team and manager.

Bang on Garage. Hope we not been too pessimistic here. Come on Town, whatever happens, DONT LOSE.

The problem with an unbeaten run is every game I wonder if it will be broken and then how do the team handle it. We should be able to get a result against Maidstone but they are all difficult . Come on Town and we’ll done to those supporters who are making that long journey ! My prediction 1-2 to Harrogate Town . Williams and Beck in the second half after being down 1-0 at half time .

Weaver will need to get us up for this one. Just reading the local press and listening to maidstone pub talk mu will be buoyed up by the new manager harry wheeler - and he didnt do too bad for billericay! Mu have lost all 3 under caretaker manager 1-0 but the opposition was salford, gateshead and sutton, all considered strong nc teams. I just hope we're well prepared. Their manager will know how to beat town !

Great team performance today, another excellent result.

great win from well focussed towm. looks like their new manager has a lot on his plate!

Well done lads. Onwards and upwards.
