Before the 2007 – 08 season had even begun Alan Walker was involved in a freak accident at a coaching course in Belfast which left him temporarily paralysed.

Walker made a valiant recovery however, and was back walking and in management by the start of the league season.

Maidstone struggled in the new surroundings of the Isthmian League Premier Division and spent the majority of the season near the foot of the table, however they avoided relegation after beating Folkestone Invicta 1 – 0 on the last day of the season, a result that relegated Invicta in Maidstone's place.
