Very polite e mail back stating they are a friendly and welcoming club and they only segregate fans on police advice. Our game will have no segregation but the Maidstone one a week or so later will!!
On the whole, Angels fans are a decent bunch as are the Yellow Army so I see no reason for it to be segregated. Yes, there'll be the odd chant of 'Football League and you f**ked it up' from one side, and 'My garden shed is bigger than this' from the other... but it if we all play nicely and have a bit of banter and a beer together there shouldn't be any problems. Saying that, this kind of game always attracts the odd neanderthal element but hopefully they'll stay away. By the way, Angels fans swap ends at half time (as should be the bloody norm when you can), so please do the same - it'll save any friction.

As for the Maidstone game on Boxing Day being segregated... quite right too! ... Maidstone fans really do not like The Angels (also know by the great unwashed from Maidstone as 'The Mangles'). Part of that being that they don't think they should even be in the same league as Tonbridge (with Maidstone being the all-so-mighty county town of Kent and having way bigger crowds than Tonbridge) and another reason is that Maidstone hardly ever beat Tonbridge (well, they did a while back in the Kent Senior Cup but the Angels fielded their under-12s for that one!). Just ask any Maidstone fan what 'Teniola Time' is.... they'll love that.

And ask any Angels fan what they think of Maidstone and it'll be a four or five letter reply... I'll leave you to work that out.
