Vital Youth Team
I went to the game on Saturday. In the past I've always preferred the atmosphere of away games: people have made more of an effort to be there so they're usually more enthusiastic about supporting their team and making some noise, instead of sitting there grumbling like many of our fans that only go to home games.
On Saturday however I was disappointed. I was disappointed with the performance and the result, but also with our fans: Within a few minutes of the kick off various groups are shouting abuse at Scally or Evans or both, and those trying to get a song of "Steve Evans' barmy army" are quickly booed. Is this what it's like to support the Gills now? Are we now so fractured and angry that we'd rather shout abuse at each other and engage in battles with our fellow fans than support our team?
