Maidstone United have sold more than 750 season tickets for their first year in National League South - in just three-and-a-half weeks.

Work is under way to raise capacity at the Gallagher Stadium from 2,226 to 3,000.

And huge interest in season tickets has vindicated the club's decision to carry out ground improvements.

Chief executive Bill Williams said: "What a fantastic milestone to reach and there’s still another two months before the league starts.

"Thank you to everyone who’s purchased a season ticket – it certainly backs the directors’ decision of investing more than £600,000 to improve the capacity and facilities this summer.”

Existing main stand season ticket holders have until Monday to renew their seat.
