Honour as Stones fanzine makes first XI

00:00, 12 August 2005

MAIDSTONE United's fanzine, Show Me The Way To Go Home, has been named one of the best 11 in the country by a national newspaper.

The Stones' publication was included in an eleven alonside efforts from Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle.

Russell Hotten of the Independent said: "Reading match reports where attendances of 248 are considered good and where the only source of food at a ground is a burger van, is a salutary reminder about the state of football in the minor leagues.

"But 40-page fanzines like this also remind you that clubs in those leagues have supporters every bit as passionate as fans of Premiership teams."

Fanzine editor Bryan Reed said: "I guess it just goes to show what a great bunch of guys I've got writing for me.

"Hopefully, it will also raise the profile of the Stones around the country - I've already had an e-mail from a guy in Liverpool requesting a copy of the latest issue."
