Pre-Match Thread Gillingham FC v Southend United

[Fairport]

I'm in Row Y upper, near the tipping point of falling over the edge!

Me too, does anyone remember if they let us sit where we like rather than use the allocated row and seat number.

I think they tried to make us sit in allocated seats last year but a lot of people won't anyway so you should be fine to move to somewhere different if you don't like where your allocated seat is.

where's everyone drinking in Gillingham?

Fleur de Lis, it was good last year although it does tend to spill onto the pavement outside.

Gravesend !!!!! Gillinghams a **** hole, I wanna go home

Those willing to walk ten minutes can find the Will Adams which is a decent pub, and the more adventurous could try the Past and Present micropub off the High Street.

The Fleur de Lis is ****.

 

[BrettieAngell]

Is the Fluer de Lis the one that's on a corner?

 

[AndyT]

The Flower of Lily* :-



*Bit short of flowers! :sad:

 

[BrettieAngell]

Has anyone be to the Cricketers before? Its the closest one to the ground that I can see, is at a home fans pub?

EDIT - Just looked on the website, it is a home fans pub.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Yup, used to be my local in a past life, as did the working men's club 100 yards up the road :winking:

Hi another Gills fan here.

More info on the Brian Moore Stand, the name was given to that end when it was scheduled to be built into a spanking new stand, the plans were even printed in our matchday programme! However there was an overspend on the Medway Stand and the club ran out of money.

As you have to have an all seater stadium in the Championship after a certain number of years (don't know what Burton Albion will do if they stay there for a while!) the club took the decision to use a "temporary" stand.

A couple of years ago Scally was refused planning permission to put a roof over the Brian Moore stand because it is classed as temporary!

Of course we are still hoping to move to a new stadium at some stage!

More parking info - there are plenty of side roads about 10-15 minute walk from the stadium off Barnsole Road. Parking here means you don't have to cross the railway line to get to the ground.

There is a pay and display car park off Balmoral Road and another in Railway Street.

The old away pub was the Livingstone Arms but this is now a McDoody's burger place.

Enjoy the game.

What happend to that away pub on the corner near the ground?

Might do that then.

 

[BenfleetDan]

If you buy on the day is it at the turnstile?

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Cash only I believe

That was the Livingstone Arms which closed down - it's now a McDoody's burger joint.

 

[mattitouk]

1,600 as of last night, adding into today's ticket sales, I would imagine 1,700 is easily possible come kick off tomorrow at 3pm.

 

[cerbera45]

[Maldon Shrimper]
