To me I believe Clemence wants us to play a certain way but his strongest XIs aren’t capable/willing of playing that way. Do we now start experimenting? I wonder if bringing in the odd kid will improve our style of play given they’ll be conditioned into playing this style. I’m not saying make...

ASLEF have just announced the latest round of strikes including LNER and Northern on Saturday 6th April. Ouch.

Is it true the Beatles played on the pitch at Ewood Park before a Blackburn vs Gills game? This would’ve been before they became massive, obviously.

TL/DR: many clubs, particularly those with kits provided by Nike, now offer two different quality of shirts: one knock-off replica at normal price, and another which the players wear and is sold at an eye-watering markup. Do you like this idea? Personally I’ve not bothered buying a football...

Some top Gills away followings this season: 1,400 to MK Dons 1,000+ sellouts at Wrexham, Crawley, Sutton 1,000 to Luton, Colchester 953 tonight to Notts County 739 to Stockport 600 to Walsall, Donny 600 to Forest Green, Swindon (midweek) 👏 👏 👏

…have you seen the scenes as fans arrive for tonight’s rearranged NFL play-off game in Buffalo?! 😂😂 Apparently they called on fans to turn up and shovel snow 24/7 for $20 an hour to try and keep it at bay. https://x.com/pff/status/1746986674293240080?s=46&t=6bmM1GlAcJcmRYfAbIpeYQ

Looks like the Ship (the Gillingham one) is in the doggy doo with the authorities. Such a nice looking pub from the outside, and I remember when the mantle was passed on when the Barge shut down. Now it just seems to be owned by a lad. I think it was taken over by a former bouncer at Amadeus...

My parents have a Baxi combo boiler and stay at home pretty much 24/7. My dad has ailments and constantly feels the old, so wants the heating on constantly (and I mean constantly). My mom secretly turns it off for 4-5 hours, leading to a blazing row with my dad who thinks it’s not technically...

How many roadworks are there across Medway right now?! It feels like it’s been going on for years. Today it’s the top of Maidstone Road in Rainham.

Train Driver union ASLEF have just called more strikes, but this time staging strikes at different train companies (TOCs) on different days rather than national ones. In addition there are also nine days of overtime bans, although I can’t find a start date. Northern and TPE are on strike the...

What is appropriate to eat from Greggs in the morning? Surely a breakfast sausage bap or even a sausage roll is too greasy on your 7am commute, but a croissant or pan au chocolate is 90% air.

And no, I don’t know how that’ll work yet! I wonder if it’s friends of Gills season ticket holders or otherwise a straight ‘buy one, get another for £5’ as long as you’re on the database. Saturday 14th October. Easy-ish to get to, some decent pubs in the town centre. Should be strike-free as...

I don’t know if anyone wants to turn this into a proper thread in case they see anything, but I saw today that Oxford United are looking at building a new stadium, despite the Kassam being relatively new. Somehow they’ve picked a location that’s possibly even further away from the town centre😂...

https://www.givemesport.com/england-92-clubs-ranked-worst-best-for-away-fans/ I know our scaffolding is appalling and the town is grotty. We’re known for poverty, chavs, etc. But are we REALLY the very worst awayday you can experience out of the 92? - The scaffold is rarely open, but when it...

Following on from Neil Harris’ comment about one player not pulling his weight around ‘and he knows who he is’. I see he’s not even on the bench tonight following the comments today: ‘Midfielder George Lapslie could feature. Harris is hoping he’ll be available again after injury. “I was...

This probably won’t get any interest but twice today on public transport I’ve heard a sound that really fucking grates me: the sound of people clipping their nails. On public transport. Thinking back now, I’m wondering if my hatred of it is OTT and it might bother no-one else? And does anyone...

I saw this tweet and reply by Brad and it brought back some memories: Didn’t we one have a yellow & blue crowdsurfing flag for the Wigan play-off final and another game? Also, do you remember those two large flags on poles that looked great? Was it Man City and the Preston semi-final in the...

Is he right or do Gills fans have a reason to be grumpy at the tweet?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a giant pirate ship which doubles as a bar behind one end so I propose we build something similar in place of the condemned upper blocks of the Brian Moore Stand. I doubt we can get a replica of Jezreels Tower erected but I’m all up for a snazzy caravan with a giant...

Can they move passport control to Sevington or Manston ala Covid and the testing? It’s pretty clear that Dover port is now too small to be able to carry out 20-minute checks for each coach-load even before the biometric checks come in. And is it really a national emergency? It’s a mighty...
