    The Official Crewe Alexandra Match Thread (Sponsored by Pink Snooker Balls "for all your six point needs")

    As Saturday's game ticked into the 73rd minute our season was effectively done, Gills staring down the barrel of a third defeat in five that would finally snuff our faint playoff hopes. Then Dieng launched a howitzer from the sun that sailed past the hapless 'keeper before the aforementioned...

    The Official Morecambe Match Thread (Sponsored by a returning Josh Andrews "for all your playoff desperation needs")

    It feels like a long time since the home draw with Grimsby last time out, a decent performance according to most sources, but resulting in only a second point from 12 at a time of the season where results are imperative. Today it's a long haul to the Lancashire coast to take on a 12th-placed...

    FA Cup Quarter Finals

    Watched Coventry - Wolves yesterday, Chelsea - Leicester earlier and now United - Liverpool. As a complete neutral all three matches have been hugely entertaining despite some questionable quality at times. Some fantastic late goals too, reminded me how much I miss celebrating a crucial last...

    The Official Grimsby Town Match Thread (Sponsored by Methylenedioxymethamphetamine "for all your wild optimism needs")

    I am aware that my last match thread catered to those of us considered to be bedwetters, so in light of Rob_b100's madness of a thread elsewhere on this fine site, and in the interests of fairness, I will endeavour to write this to lean more towards the apologist camp. Following Tuesday's...

    The Official AFC Wimbledon Match Thread (Sponsored by The Closest Away Day "for all your "At Least We'll be Home Early..." needs)

    After undertaking the longest trip of the season last Tuesday night away at Barrow, we now make the shortest to take on AFC Wimbledon at Plough Lane, desperately hoping for a bit of positive consistency to keep the smouldering embers of our fairly unconvincing playoff push alive. There are...

    The Official Tranmere Rovers Match Thread (Sponsored by Something Vaguely Amusing "for all your lack of imagination needs")

    After two successive trips to the North-West totalling some 860 miles and three points from six, we return to Priestfield today to face a team from...the North-West in Tranmere Rovers. Last Saturday was a solid performance in trying conditions, Tuesday was a tired performance in slightly less...

    The Official Barrow Match Thread (Sponsored by the Longest Trip of the Season on a Tuesday night "for all your 656 mile round trip needs")

    The postponement of the original fixture following a soggy pitch on 9th December has resulted in Gills making two huge trips in the space of just fours days. Saturday's result and performance on another North-West mud heap was very, very impressive and built on the back of a solid home win...

    The Official Salford City Match Thread (Sponsored by the Class of 92 "for all your investment-seeking needs")

    Last time out we narrowly knocked over media darlings Wrexham by yet another 1-0 margin of victory which had the added bonus of annoying a fair few of their newly minted American fans into the bargain (YouTube being a post-match goldmine of US Wrexham vlogs from their game against Gill-ing-HAM)...

    The Official Wrexham Match Thread (Sponsored by Brad and Shannon "for all your North American owner needs")

    Right, this is going to be rush job because it's the last day of my holiday, it's snowing heavily and I want to get out there. Gills are without a win in three as we take on Hollywood FC at a sold out Priestfield today. I'm not sure of the attraction over any of the other rag-tag, average clubs...

    The Official Stockport County Match Thread (Sponsored by Estrella Damm "for all your après ski needs")

    Last time out at Newport was shit from both a performance and result perspective. Tonight we cannot afford to be shit, or we risk being turned over comfortably by a Stockport side desperate to bounce back from their own excrementable weekend result against lowly Tranmere. Stockport, despite...

    The Official Newport County Match Thread (Sponsored by Tony Pulis "for all your son of Newport needs")

    For months, years even, there has been a demand for footballing entertainment from the stands and in the last two games we've had it in spades. The win at Notts County was an excellent one and although the performance against Swindon was much shakier from a defensive perspective, few could deny...

    The Official Swindon Town Match Thread (Sponsored by Ray McHale's 'tache "for all your plastic rivalry needs")

    I can't imagine there were too many outside of the management and playing squad that saw Friday's victory in Nottingham coming, but the positive words emanating from Clem at the midweek Fans' Forum bore fruit as Gills delivered a masterclass to reignite our smouldering play-off hopes. Tonight...

    The Official Notts County Match Thread (Sponsored by Big Nev "for all your giant blue human needs")

    Last time out Gills snatched a point from a performance of utter mediocrity, tonight we look to improve both performance and result with a trip to free-scoring (and conceding) Notts County. A victory at Meadow Lane would see us leapfrog our opponents who currently sit a point ahead of us in...

    The Official Walsall Match Thread (Sponsored by Jorge Leguín Cabezas Hurtado "for all your gol.gol gol gol gol gol gol needs")

    Gills welcome Walsall to Priestfield today looking to bounce back from a disappointing result last time out, as well as avenging our joint heaviest defeat of the season at the Bescot in the reverse fixture. We will take to the field today with a much changed forward line following Thursday's...

    The Official MK Dons Match Thread (Sponsored by IKEA "for all your pre-match meatball needs")

    Gills head to the grid roads and roundabouts of Milton Keynes today looking to continue their recent decent form, but with a serious need to redeem themselves from last Saturday's poor performance and result against the league's bottom side. In terms of embarrassment in the last week, it's a...

    The Official Forest Green Rovers Match Thread (Sponsored by Nibbles "for all your pitch inspection needs")

    Gills return to Priestfield today looking to extended our winning run in the league to four at the expense of Forest Green Rovers, a side at the foot of the table and on their third manager of the season following Troy Deeney's abrupt sacking after just six games in charge. Last time out we...

    MK Dons tickets

    We've already sold out initial allocation of 514 (got my three for our closest away day this season), with another 750 tickets due to arrive tomorrow. Should be another excellent turnout. For comparison Franchise mustered just 323 away fans for the reverse fixture back in October.

    The Official Accrington Stanley Match Thread (Sponsored by the Milk Marketing Board "for all your "who are they?" needs)

    Gills are back in league action this afternoon with a trip to deepest Lancashire to take on perennial overachievers, Accrington Stanley. Gills are currently in 11th, a single point and a rancid goal difference shy of the play-offs, while our opponents are one place above us with a goal...

    Away records

    Frau Ljunga is watching total cack on the telly, so for want of anything more interesting to do, and being a massive fan of pointlessly dull football-based statistics, I have worked out my entire away record since my first away-day as a callow youth of 15 at Southend in April 1998 (0-0; start as...
