Gillingham October 1st

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Just thought I'd let you know, this game is category AA, meaning ticket prices are £17 for adults, £15 for students and OAP's and £11 for kids.

Fifteen quid for concessions? That's as steep as Swindon's matchday price!

At least Gillingham's only 30 miles away and therefore I won't have to use too much fuel...

 

[Guest]

Its better than no concesions tho eh!

 

[Badger74]

only 900 tickets tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Firestorm]

When do they go on sale ?

I wonder what happened to the Boat trip we were talking about a couple of months ago? Sebastian Weetabix was trying to sort something out...nothing's been heard though now for some time.

Here's the original thread for a refresher:

I seem to recall someone sayong it would be low tide and hence not possible. I may be wrong though.

You are correct Upminster, that point was raised in this earlier thread, but was answered by Sebastian Weetabix in the thread I posted above a week or so later, and he seemed to think that it may be possible...

Is that the top bracket of games?

I know a lot of Premier$hite clubs employee this pricing strategy as do some Championship sides but didn't really think it could work in League One.

Might well be enquiring about a spare space considering that to get the train is quicker to....well...somewhere further away.

Only problem is that weddings keep popping up unexpected.

If I promise not to talk for the journey and sit in the boot...whaddya reckon?

 

[southend4ever]

don't moan, students don't pay for a lot of things so the things you do want to do... don't moan. short journey from uni for me

 

[prittlewellshrimper]

No it's the middle bracket. I agree, it's a bit silly doing it in League One/League Two because there aren't really any 'big games'. They're all the same really except local derbies. I mean what would Gillingham class as a grade A match except from Notts Forest?

Have I missed something here? Where has this been reported?

Not good if true...

"Away fans are housed in part of the Brian Moore Stand where around 1,500 supporters can be accommodated. Like last season the stand is of the temporary variety i.e. the type that you would see around the 18th hole at the British Open Golf Championship, although it is of a good size and height, plus the views of the playing action are fine. Unlike most temporary stands though the facilities are surprisingly good, being of a permanent nature behind the stand. However it is uncovered so be prepared to get wet! "

If you can put up with my peculiar taste in music then you're welcome to tag along.

You can even sit in the main bit of the car if ya like!

ok mate. I'll let you know...

erm...how peculiar?

 

[Smiffy]

Cant wait for this one.

Short trip, a sort of derby game and we should easily take over 1,000.

If you are thinking of making your first away trip this season, make it this one.

Thank feck its only a category AA game, if it was the highest category game (AAA) it would have cost us £24!!.

All aboard for Gillingham.

Come on Southend!.

 

[Reading Shrimper]

Anyone know if the tickets are on sale at RH yet? I rang the Gills ticket office and they apparantley don't sell directly to away fans, so gotta get them from the Hall..
