99.9% of match ticket applications now come in by e-mail – peter@leachweb.co.uk – which actually makes applications easier to keep track of and is my preferred method.
The ESCLA phone line has been discontinued but members may call me on  my regular phone – members will find the number on their membership cards – given there are now so few phone calls, calls are no longer restricted to set times  – members wishing to phone may do so at ANY time ( the first comedian who tries me at 3 in the morning will be liquidated).

Ians’ funeral will take place on Monday 19th June at 2pm at Vinters Park Crematorium, Bearsted Rd, Maidstone ME14 5LG and after
at Maidstone United, Gallagher Stadium. Anyone that knew Ian is welcome.

With great sadness I  report that ESCLA member and  one of our most regular match goers, I don’t think he had missed a game this season,  Ian Risdon, died May 15th. Our thoughts are of course with his wife Karen, and young family, Liam, Jessica, Niamh and Ryan. ESCLA regulars will know that at most matches he was in company with one or two of his children. On behalf of  all his friends at ESCLA I extend heartfelt and deepest condolences.  Phil Turner, ESCLA member and friend of Ian is, with Karen’s blessing, arranging  for an Everton Crest wreath on behalf of his fellow friends and travellers, and if anyone would like to make a donation towards please e-mail me, peter@leachweb.co.uk .
