Given a choice would you rather Gills stayed up this season to be faced with another boring season of struggle next season, say in the bottom six for the whole season. Or, go down and have a season in the top six of the National League, challenging for play-offs and in with a shout of promotion...

Many have stated that the club has been in decline for a number of years and the current team is that legacy. But where did the decline start, was it the sale of a particular player who wasnt replaced, the removal of a certain manager (Allen or Edinburgh for example), or something else. My...

Thought i'd ordered tickets for yesterday a week before, nothing had arrived in the post so rang Gills on Friday, had no record of my transaction , so reordered for collection at ground. Arrived at Newport with son, went to the hut near the away end - no tickets. Tried to get email up with...

The gills record in this competition is appalling, in all its previous guises (Johnstone's Paint Trophy, Leyland Daf Cup, Papa john's trophy etc) since 1983 our record is terrible, we've played in it almost every season (there cant be many teams who've played in it more times) and for a good...

For West Ham. Congratulations and good luck to him.

Who turns 50! today.

Whilst a case in the news this week is clearly tragic have we lost a sense of perspective? Most violent criminals are men does not equal most men are violent criminals. The group of people most at risk of being victims of violent crime are men. Less than 1% of crimes involve any sort of...

Meaning for this to be a fun speculative thread that may stimulate some discussion! If the Gills had their best 11 from history how would they do? Would they be in the premier league, or be a good Championship team. What areas would they be weak in, and what would be their strengths? We all...

22 Dec 1980 - FA cup round 2 2nd replay. Gillingham 0 Maidstone United 2.

I have been attempting to find the match day squads for every Gillingham league match using a combination of match programmes, match reports, internet research and my own records. The 1960s have proved very problematical in recording unused substitutes in matches, however, I have almost found...

Last night was Gillingham's 13th penalty shoot-out. Five have been won and eight lost. 40 of the 58 penalties have been scored. Eight have taken place in (what is now called the EFL Trophy), 4 in the League Cup and one in the play off final. Gills have won two and lost four of the six...

This is a video of Steve Lovell's first international goal in 1985 (Norwegian commentary) (see around the 1minute mark). Shortly before is an hilarious own goal. Don't know what the attendance was but it looks a bit 'sparse'.

More nerdy stats I am afraid. Gills have had 161 players sent off since 1979, 144 in the league and 17 in cup games, an average of more than 4 per season. At least one player has been sent off in each of those seasons. The worst was actually in 2005/06 with 9, two each for Darren Byfield...

At the end of the 2018/2019 season Gillingham had used 1022 players in Football League Games. Since 2002, 273 players have made their debuts, that is an average of more than 16 debuts per season over that period. In contrast between being reelected to the league in 1950 and 2002 (52 years)...

(Or maybe top of the league). Fewest yellow cards in the division - just four in five games so far, 23rd highest in the division. https://www.espn.co.uk/football/stats/_/league/ENG.3/view/discipline/english-league-one

Do The Gills have an official statistician/historian these days? At one time it was Roger Triggs of course.

Garry Kimble. 53 today. He was involved in non league management in the Essex area until recently. Wonder what je is doing now?
