    Squad retention

    According to this (https://experimental361.com/2022/09/02/squad-retention-2-september-2022/) Gills have the second lowest squad retention in the league, from last season to this. Weighted by minutes played just over 28% of last year’s team still in the squad. A big gap between the bottom three...

    iFollow attendances

    Andy Holt (Accrington owner) has posted some subscriber stats from iFollow via Twitter. They're quite interesting if you want to understand the financial impact of this crazy season. For example, he says they had gate receipts of £6,000 from the home game with Rochdale when they'd normally...

    Spending time with our supporters is always fantastic

    A quote from SE today according to the GFC Twitter feed... SE: "Spending time with our supporters is always fantastic. I am lucky in that, by being in the town on a daily basis, I hear at first hand their opinions." I'm not really having a go at him, but his media style is really cringeworthy...

    Most ridiculous post match manager comment

    There's a comment from Darren Ferguson here (https://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/sport/referee-breakspear-was-hopeless-214536/) that our goal on Saturday was offside, when the video clips clearly show it was a back pass by the defender. I get that he might not have seen it at the time, but it...

    Season tickets sold out (n/g obvs)

    This a pretty amazing at Lincoln. From my trips there years ago I always thought of it as one of those places where the locals hardly knew the club existed. https://staceywest.net/2019/07/18/city-sell-out-of-season-tickets/

    Plymouth v Scunthorpe yesterday

    Scunthorpe's second goal is pretty shocking. It's fortunate that it didn't really affect the overall relegation in the end. https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/competitions/league-one/11711660/plymouth-3-2-scunthorpe

    Evening home game vs Bristol Rovers

    19 December 1986. Gills 4-1 Bristol Rovers. The first season that I was old enough to go to games on my own. If I remember correctly Rovers had an amazingly fluorescent yellow and orange kit. And one or both of Cas`s goals were from left wing crosses from Smith. When he was at full pace he was...

    Financial Fair Play rules (n/g)

    This - http://www.spiegel.de/international/manchester-city-exposed-bending-the-rules-to-the-tune-of-millions-a-1236346-amp.html - is quite interesting on how Man City flout financial fair play rules. Not that surprising, perhaps, but pretty depressing.

    Deji Oshilaja

    ... has been involved in a bit of a Twitter spat with some AFCW fans for people who like that sort of thing. Last week he liked a tweet from Jordan Houghton (who he must have played with at Gills, I think) and had just scored his first goal for his new club. Unfortunately his new club are...

    "I have sent some players home"

    Some quotes from SL today, according to the GFC Twitter account: SL: "I have sent some players home. It had to be addressed; they need to learn and I can't hang around for people to perform." SL: "The majority are really good lads but a few have let us down. We had to make a stand." Not clear...

    Martin Allen

    Has a chance of keeping Barnet up after their win at Morecambe today. If he does from where they were when he took over it will be an achievement of Lovellesque proportions. I really recommend his post match interview on the Barnet website. Among other things, he talks about how Peter Beadle...

    iFollow Oxford coverage

    Blimey, there's commentary on the stream today. The first thing he said was "Gillingham are playing in the red" so maybe not much of an improvement
