dubai_phil Posted 23 May, 2009 Share Posted 23 May, 2009 Shrews keeper looked a prospect, and that Holt bloke up front - slow cumbersome lump with a brain. Too good for us I expect Gills showed how to play fast passing football with kids. That hurt watching it done properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too good for us I expect Gills showed how to play fast passing football with kids. That hurt watching it done properly Shrews keeper is on loan from West Brom. Think we can do far better than Holt. I would like us to look at Simon King....the Gills centre back and their player of the season. Looks a real prospect as does Simeon Jackson.

Funnily enough I was based in Chatham Barracks about 1967 and watched Gillingham quite regularly..So in a way it will be completing the circle....I wonder if any of the girls in my old local pubs will be there....Zimmer frames and all.

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 23 May, 2009 Share Posted 23 May, 2009 Shocking thing is that having been the highest placed team in the south a few years ago, we will start next season as one of the lowest placed league teams in the south (assuming we are still in the league of course!) Ranked ahead of us (and ignoring the clubs in London or further north than London) will be: P*mpey, Reading, Bristol City, Plymouth, Bristol Rovers, Swindon, Brighton, Yeovil, Exeter, Wycombe and now also Gillingham. (nb based on league position at the end of this season and our starting position for next season, plus I include Swindon and Wycombe on the basis that while they are further north than central London, there are parts of London that are further north than them!)

StuRomseySaint Posted 23 May, 2009 Share Posted 23 May, 2009 F*ck sake, another game that I won't be able to get completely smashed at! Carlisle - Have 6 of my family with STH's Wycombe - 4 of my cousins STH's Leyton Orient - 2 Uncles STH's Swindon - Cousin is Assistant Manager of Swindon Town Gillingham - Have always promised my two boys who live in Canterbury that I would take them there if Saints ever played them. That's five games where I will have to be responsible and not drink to my normal levels! F*cking hell. Gutted! :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpturner Posted 23 May, 2009 Share Posted 23 May, 2009 I can't think beyond next week in SFC terms, let alone who we might be playing in L1 next year. Just to be playing in L1 will be a blessing IMHO - besides, we always lose to Gillingham whenever we have to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 24 May, 2009 Share Posted 24 May, 2009 We will have a trip to the priestfield next season. They just beat shrewsbury 1-0 with a 90th minute winner. .....and... just for the record......the last time we played Goillingham in a LEAGUE match was .......in (wait for it) ...1957/58 in Div.3 South. They finished in the bottom 3 (no relegation in those days) but the following season turned up in the " newly-established " Division 4 -which eliminated the geographical factor of Div.3 South and North. With looming energy crisis etc, maybe an idea to revamp that; energy-saving shorter trips to away games ( not Carlisle again !)...and help the economy of smaller clubs (like us)!

hamster Posted 24 May, 2009 Share Posted 24 May, 2009 Hope "buster" crabbe is guest of honour should we be able to fulfill the fixture. Also. Was John Sharpe a Saints and Gills man? I have to mention Dave Peach (great player), here is a little bit of background to my love of the man. I began watching The Gills the season after they were relegated to Div 4, I was just a kid and didn't understand anything about the game. I went with my big brother and just loved the whole experience, from singing Molly Malone to running on the pitch EVERY time we scored at the Rainham End. Most Gills fans were probably still reeling from the relegation but I was the new blood and what had happened previously was of no concern to me. I fell in love with football, and one of the players that I fell in lve with was Dave Peach. 3 years later they won promotion, but during that season he was sold to Saints. According to Wiki, Ted Bates had just put Lawrie in charge and his first buy was Dave Peach. His debut was a 7-0 drubbing at Ipswich, which brings me onto one of the sweetest moments for Gills fans from Saturdays final. Earlier in this season Gills had been thumped 7-0 by Shrewsbury and a small section of their supporters were singing about it. Anyway, whilst walking out of the stadium, someone started singing "you can stick your 7 golas up your arse..." it was a sweet moment, although if I am honest, the whole day was full of great moments which will hopefully live with me and the small crowd of us that drove up for years to come. Dave Peach = Double Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAndWhite91 Posted 26 May, 2009 Share Posted 26 May, 2009 Just seen on the ITV highlights when Gillingham were picking up the trophy the commentator said - "And now they can begin planning their trips to Southampton, Norwich and Leeds..." We are obviously the biggest club in League One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are obviously the biggest club in League One Most of the clubs in League 1 are excited by the fact that they are going to be visiting grounds like St Mary's, Carrow Rd and the Valley next season (it's a big deal for a lot of the players in this league). They are also looking forward to all of us visiting them for the amount of fans we'll all take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
