Just a small selection of views on smtwtgh, ranging from fellow fanzine editors to the national press - oh yes, we made the top 12 fanzines in the country as voted for by Russell Hotten of the Independent!

As featured in the Independent newspaper's Top XI Fanzines feature:
Monday 8th August 2005
"The club is struggling, but Show Me is a great vehicle. There are some strong words and strong language, but there is also a genuine dialogue between the fans and the club's owner. Reading match reports where attendances of 248 are considered good and where the only source of food at a ground is a burger van, is a salutary reminder about the state of football in the minor leagues. But 40-page fanzines like this also remind you that clubs in those leagues have supporters every bit as passionate as fans of Premiership teams."
Russell Hotten.

"I have been exchanging fanzines with Bryan Reed, editor of the Maidstone fanzine, for a while now, and when we initially got in touch, he was surprised at the similarities bewteen our two clubs.
smtwtgh highlights the fact that the club are yet to move back home to Maidstone. They currently play in Sittingbourne, although a site has been secured for a new ground. Whether or not Bryan will change the name when the Stones finally go home, I don;t know, but his fanzine really is class, in both content and presentation. A fact that is highlighted by smtwtgh's inclusion in a feature in the Independent newspaper on the top twleve football fanzines in the country.
The glossy paper format makes a big difference to the fanzine. There is a strong focus on match reports, but because there are only 16 teams in the Kent League, and the fanzine appears fairly regularly, they don't take over. There are always a few humerous piss takes towards Gillingham, who were the Stones' local rivals during their spell in the Football League.
One thing you do notice is that the fanzine appears to have a pretty god relationship with the club. The latest issue I recieved contained an update from their chairman on the progress with the new ground. The fanzine also has its own website, whcih also incorporates a message board."

"Having had issues 54-46 and 60-62 kindly posted to me by editor Bryan Reed, I can safely say that my opinions on this fanzine are not just for one issue only.
I have to say that of all the fanzines that are sent to me, this is by far and away the best. The quality of each issue is superb with a full colour glossy front page and superb quality thoughout.
The articles inside are also of great interest, not only to Maidstone supporters but to non-league fans in general.
After an amusing and detailed editorial by Bryan himself, the zine moves swiftly on to cover the away matches of the month in the view of the writer - with ratings on the home fans, hospitality and atmosphere. There are also some highly amusing regular columns by Darren Styles and Mick Taylor. There are also many topical articles on a arange of topics, as well as the usual jokes, gags and general funny stuff.
I run out of superlatives to cover how good this issue is. The fact that it was named one of the top eleven fanzines in the UK - alongside the likes of Manchester United, Cletic and Arsenal - backs up my plea to e-mail or write to Bryan and get hold of a copy to see for yourself."
