Following the statement from the FA yesterday we regret that we are unable to admit fans from Maidstone United to our FA Cup tie on Saturday afternoon.

We kindly ask any Maidstone fan that has paid for tickets to contact Daz Bloor, our club secretary, on secretaryhendonfc@gmail.com to request a full refund.

Anyone that attends the game wearing a Maidstone replica kit, scarf or other obvious football colours will not be admitted into the ground and will not be eligible for a refund.

Anyone who attends the game not wearing colours but who is clearly identified as a Maidstone fan (e.g. if they are seen to be celebrating a Maidstone goal) will be asked to leave the ground and will not have their ticket refunded.

We have published these rules with the greatest of reluctance but have been left little choice by the ruling published by the Football Association. Our thanks go to Maidstone United for their assistance and to all Maidstone supporters for their understanding. All of us at Hendon Football Club hope that you are back watching matches sooner rather than later.

Restrictions on ticket sales will be lifted for Hendon supporters to resume purchases and the tie will remain all-ticket.
