Well done Karen and Keith et al.

Ditto. Excellent.

Yup. Happy with that

Excellent step. I might have missed the implementation date, but I would hope it is the first league home match.
That way the club can be said to have done everything that is reasonable to address the issue

A question, rather than a criticism. Why not U-18?

I wondered the same, but I think that this will pass the 80/20 test

What? If you're over 80 you have to be with someone who's 20? Does this mean that Westy has to bring Alex?

Again, to play Devil's Eggnog, I'm a little scrote from Colley Gate (35 years too late for that) and I appear at the turnstiles without my Yoof Card.
"Hello mate, I'm 17."
"That'll be £4 please"

It'll be like the outside of the local offy down the Old Hawne Lane turnstile. "Err....excuse me, mate...can you tell 'em you're with me?"

I think I'll start off by charging £5 to be someone's designated adult, and increase it up if the demand is there.

No, I genuinely applaud the club for spinning this around so quickly. It will certainly help to address some of the "challenges".

And I'm hugely impressed that Maidstone are still our friends - I wonder if they did any loud coughing at any point in the conversation.

Yes, I thought that about Maidstone too.
The Trust paid someone, but I can’t remember if it was them.

An excellent idea and it shows the intent of Karen and Keith to maintain the club's reputation for having well behaved supporters.
