You missed Ike Orji who is on loan at Chatham Town and contributing massively to our promotion campaign from the South East division of the Isthmian League (step 4, level 8). Since he was loaned back to us he has only missed a couple of games, having been largely ever present this season...

I have copied this from another of my posts on here and added to it: " It's good to see Gills have picked up massively since that madman* Brad Galinson took over. It's really weird seeing positive tweets and hearing positive interviews with him. It seems he has changed the entire culture of the...

Hi mate, it was good to see you at Whitehawk last night. I was initially taken aback as the majority of blue scarfed individuals there were Brighton fans, so to spot Gillingham FC at the moment you said "you're Pledge aren't you?" was a bit of a shocker! I decided to count you amongst the 40 or...

My understanding is that he was at Maidstone. Not heard mention of Palace. As I've stated above he made his Chats' debut aged 16 and 4 months. It certainly did not take him until 17 to get on track. As soon as he got in Chats team it was clear he was a prospect and a good lad. He very quickly...

There are still some remains there now. The old covered terrace end was cleared of decades of vegetation a few years ago to see what could be found. It was treated as a semi-archaeology project, looking for artefacts from the 60s and 70s. Quite possibly the funniest relic of theirs was found...

He is. I am hoping the clubs have agreed a sell on percentage, but conflicting sources give different answers to that question. He's the sort of player who might go the way of the philosophy Peterborough had for years: Sign 'em cheap as a gamble and then possibly reap the rewards later.

Nope, Mark jumped ship to Deal Town taking all his clients with him. He is now their shirt sponsor.

Just had a look back and Ike made his Chats debut as a sub aged 16 years and 4 months (1 month either way) on 21st September 2019. On the 5th October 19 he got his first start in a league game. He was then involved plenty in the curtailed 19/20 season. He was very much a big player in our...

I would guess he is about 5' 9. He is good in the air. I think he is physically strong enough to play in league 2 now. Obviously he needs some time in full time training. He had been on trial with Gills twice under Steve Evans I think, but the first time was a Gills caused catastrophe. I heard...

There is another Gills fan who is on several thousand grounds some of which I have been to in the same car or coach as him...

Is Forres Mechanics up between Inverness and Findhorn? If so I've been past it in a car and it is on my list of grounds I'd love to go to. Gills were at home to Blackpool the day I drove past there. I was phoned at about 3.15pm that day by people wondering where I was as it was the first...

Tottenham's new ground is officially counted as a new ground as no part of the pitch overlaps with the old one. Bournemouth's does not count as a new ground as part of the pitch does overlap the old one, albeit with the ground rotating 90 degrees. Apps tell me I've been there. I don't believe I...

I think I know who you are talking about. I've done a lot of grounds with him over the last 38 or so years.

Have you been to Park Avenue's current ground (Horsfall Athletics Track I think)? Four of us went their the day after Gills were thrashed 5-1 at Bradford City on the Friday night around that time that business collapsed causing ALL of Gills' subsequent financial problems. Can anyone remember the...

18 Premier League (all bar Liverpool and Man United) (17 with Gills) 24 Championship (all with Gills) 22 League One definitely. May have seen Morecambe. Not seen FGR (all with Gills) 21 League Two definitely. Not sure re the current Newport County but saw the original club. Not seen Barrow or...

Premier League: 13 13 (if you count the old Dean Court) 9 with Gills (see above). 10 former grounds of current Premier League sides (incl. Brighton at Gills) 6 of them with Gills Championship: 19 19 19 with Gills 12 former grounds of current Championship sides all of them with Gills League...

I can absolutely guarantee you that Gills have signed a real gem in Ike. He's a decent lad who broke into the first team with us barely aged 16 and had been a regular in the squad ever since. For the last season and a half at least he has been one of the first names in our starting line up...

I didn't see any follow up post old chap. We discussed this years ago. I binned the book, which was tatty and old. A bit like me. Sadly binning humans is illegal.

I will do if he is up to going to the Chats on Saturday. He's missed the last few games.

As well you know I binned that book years ago. I didn't know I was coming on here to open old wounds. Let it go man! Up the Chats.
