They were told to ‘carry on’ by the National League and then had to withdraw from the FA Trophy the following week due to the ongoing situation, Maidstone United receiving a bye into the fourth round. On that occasion the FA told chairman Peter Griffin to ‘sign more players’. “We’ve been in a position where we haven’t been able to fulfil fixtures and these have been postponed, or as was the case in the Trophy, we’ve had to withdraw. “No, there’s been no communication from the league, it’s carry on as it is,” said Griffin.
