Crawley tonight - anyone even bothering to go?

[madrid_gill]

I don't know the full rules either. But with O'Neill not even on the bench, I'm not sure he can be counted

I don't know the full rules. But surely O'Neill, Garmston, Lacey, List, Rees, Parrett, Bingham can all be considered "first teamers".

How would we be fined for that?

Except that O'Neil isn't playing.

 

[daveycrocket]

Am I right in thinking that the attendance tonight could well be less than 100. I'm going for 93!

Whoops (or Doh!). Take your pick...

Still got enough eligible players to avoid a fine though haven't we?

 

[OneSirKeefy]

Anyway, no one there?

Looking forward to hearing some reports of our performance

List, and Stevenson has just got a late one. 2-1 up.

Did a quick check of the rules, I'm wrong. I thought it was just the number of outfield players who started the last/next match, but players who have 40+ first team games are OK, too. Not sure if that's new this year or not. My bad.

 

[townendgill]

Also, odd note, but as a player who played in our last game, is on loan from a club with a "tier 1" academy, and with 40+ games at league level under his belt Ogilvie is eligible to be classed as a first-teamer three times. Don't know if that counts as three under the quota though. Assuming not.

Wow! What a night! Not seen anything like that for decades! The crowd were singing "Champions League here we come" as we were leaving. Fireworks at the end too. All players get 11/10, and will go down in The Gills history after tonight! :-)

2-1- win , well done the youngsters, especially Elliott, Bradley and Noel. These guys are our future.

 

[Vambogills]

Since the format changed and U21 Prem teams joined there has not been one attendance over 1,000 for any game at this stage. It's unhappy fans voting with their feet. I would be surprised if we had many more than 100 tonight.

 

[Cookiejar]

Did anyone go and if so how did the non regulars play? Stevenson, Simpson, M'Bo and Chapman???

 

[jokerman]

Well done Gills.

I didn't go. Had to keep the calendar clear in case Mrs May asked me over for a one on one re events.

You didn't get the message then?

We wondered where you were.

 

[chris who]

At very least the young players are putting pressure on the senior players to perform.I wouldn't mind betting there have be a few who thought their place was safe .They maybe are just starting to wake up to the fact that they need to take these lads seriously.

Damn. Oh well, back to writing my memoirs
Jokerman: the Wilderness Years

Have to say though, these wilderness years are beginning to stretch out a bit.
