Should Gillingham stay up it would be quite an achievement, seeing as they've gone all season thus far without winning away from the Priestfield.

They are however away to Wycombe on the last day.

I was just wondering if any team has survived the drop without a solitary away win ?
 
Exeter will need to beat Huddersfield at home and Tranmere to beat Stockport away.
 
Wycombe will need to beat Gillingham, that's the point I was making, they are in a good position going into the last game and it looks highly likely that they'll stay up without winning away.
 
I hope Gillingham do go down... It's a horrendous place full of awful, awful *******s. Everybody I've ever met from that Medway area has been a Grade A ****.

I hope they go down aswell, not because I have anything particularly against them but I'd rather have an away trip there next season than Exeter or Tranmere.

Ditto, might be a ******** of the highest order but at least it's a nearby ********.

Oh, plus gives us the chance to hear those wonderous "adapted" songs of theirs too! ;)
 
As I said, when they came to us and we won in the dying moments, they looked not a bad side with Barcham and Jackson particularly impressive in attack. Our away performances against them were spectacularly bad (two 3-0 defeats). So I think we can say they deserved to stay up more then us.

Amazingly Coventry city went all season without an away win but still managed to secure 14th place due to an impressive home record which saw them win 12 out of their 19 matches. - Premier league 1999/2000
Would want the gills to go down with us aswell just because it would be only one of the games I could make....
 
It is, perhaps, somewhat ironic that the Gills - christened by most of us as the Southend United "B" team - might stay up, whilst the SUFC "A" team has already tumbled into the basement division.

Ho hum.
 
I'd rather they stayed up, then I wouldn't have the dilemma of whether to go there or not when we played them.

Exeter is quite a nice town, so I'd much rather travel the extra distance to go there for a game than to spend any time in a ****heap town like Gillingham.
 
You want to go there again next season, you mean?

No, I still want them to go down to spare my blushes... If they stay up ahead of us the torment of them being in a League superior to us will be horrendous. Plus, having been there twice, I have no desire to go there again.

Coventry in the 1999/2000 season, finished 14th in the Premiership, with only 7 points and 9 goals scored away from home. Their home record was the 5th best in the league.
