Maidstone have a close to fully-fit squad should Saturday's Ryman League Premier Division game at Carshalton beat the weather.

The Stones lie just one point and two places ahead of the Robins but haven’t won in their last three league games.

After seeing their FA Trophy first round home tie with Histon postponed twice inside five days, joint-manager Lloyd Hume (pictured) said his side were desperate for a game.

"We just want to play football," said Hume. "It’ll be two weeks since we’ve played, if it is on. We have nearly everyone fit and we just want to get out there."

Stones midfielder Tom Parkinson will not be risked although his fitness will be monitored before the match.

Meanwhile the club are counting the cost of the double-postponement of the FA Trophy first round tie against Histon.

After the Homelands pitch was deemed unplayable on Saturday and potentially dangerous if frozen on Tuesday night, Stones chairman Paul Bowden-Brown says the club will lose money when the game is eventually held – hopefully on Tuesday night at Homelands.

Mr Bowden-Brown says Histon hired coaches ahead of each postponed game – half the cost of which will have to be met by Maidstone – and Stones also had to pay out twice for officials to attend the ground, simply to call the games off when the club felt the pitch was playable.

Mr Bowden-Brown said: "I have had to pay for two coaches already and when they eventually come down for the third time, it is going to end up costing us significant money.

"I’ve lost out on a Saturday gate and then a Tuesday gate, which means I have to wait another week to get some money in and all the while the club has expenses to pay, the players need paying. It is worrying.

"Despite it being a huge home game for the club against a top team, when we eventually get the game on we will be losing money.

"What makes it worse is that despite what the referee thought, the pitch had not frozen at 9.45pm on Tuesday night so the game could have been played anyway."
