Directions To Salters Lane.

Tomorrow Night, Gillingham will travel to Salters Lane for our opening pre-season friendly against Faversham Town, This match was originally scheduled for The Eleventh Of July but has been pulled back to tomorrow night and Faversham Town are expecting a huge attendance for this match, so if any of you are looking to travel to Faversham Town via car, then I will recommend that you arrive to Salters Lane as early as possible.

I won't post A Team Prediction for the pre-season friendlies, we could have one or two trial players in the squad tomorrow night, and most of our players will get Forty Five Minutes, and this will be our first chance to watch Tom Eaves, Conor Wilkinson, Alex Lacey, Gabriel Zakuani and Luke O'Neill in action for The Gills, so I am looking forward to see how those five get on against Faversham Town.

I am going to The Faversham Town Match, who else on here is going ???

Faversham Town 0 - 1 Gillingham.

Gills manager Ady Pennock got exactly what he wanted out of Friday’s friendly at Faversham Town.

Kentish Football Article, and I will quote the important comment below.....

Faversham Town Manager Ray Turner...

“It’s a nice feeling and I’m very appreciative of Gills, not only bring a team down but the nature of the side they brought down and the players that were on show. It’s attracted a lot of interest from their perspective as well. I’m very grateful for them. These nights are really important for non-league clubs. It sets us up for the season, it’s a great way of opening it and hopefully a few of those have been entertained and they might just come back.”


Gillingham Manager Adrian Pennock...

Gillingham boss Adrian Pennock said: “My thoughts, just pleased with the run out, that’s all it is. We played two teams, two 45 minutes and the pleasing thing for me was the fitness levels and no injuries. I’m just pleased overall, it was good.

“Faversham have been very, very good to us. It was a good work-out overall.

“The boys have been working hard and have been doing some triple sessions in Ireland and double sessions all this week. I thought the game was played in good spirit and we had no problems at all so it was very good.”


Valuable Attendance Income For Faversham Town

Faversham Town can take plenty of positives from tonight. The income from the crowd and only losing by a single goal to a club that play five levels higher.

“It was a night for the club really. It was a night for the players, they thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity of playing against League One opposition,” said Turner.

“I’m hoping the supporters have gone away really chuffed with their local club. It's a Friday night occasion, an early half-past-seven kick-off and there were a lot of youngsters in the ground but I just thought it was a nice occasion and a lovely way to start the season off. Fundamentally it was a way of recognising the achievement off the field as well certainly the boys on the field showed themselves in a good light.”

I KNOW, I KNOW,I KNOW, all Kumbia and all that, first game, different teams each half,sure as hell didn't want to win 10 -0 but surely, surely, a team like GFC could take 10 shots or headers or chests,or flicks or what ever at the Faversham goal, and score three or four, no matter who we had on the field ?
