Think you should leave the page just like it is, blank. Surly this MUST be Pillocks last chance to keep his job at GFC, a loss this weekend and he must be GONE.
Come on GILLINGHAM, kick Charltons ass all over the pitch, this is the week you can prove to the football world that your not the bunch of losers everyone thinks you are , lets have a win and lift ourselves off the bottom of the table, PLEASE.

Well it`s the game most look out for each season with Charlton in the division,but there is a lack of excitement around the club with things going on off the field,and our poor results.Looking on the online Ticket sales earlier there was plenty of seats in our three sides of the ground.Charlton have sold out the 2,000+ they were given,but we may struggle to get 4,000 of our own fans in.It`s a derby game,so it is a shame other things have taken the excitement away.It`s going to be a really tough game,and sadly you have to put Charlton clear favourites on Saturday.If we sneak a win then it would be a massive win with us bottom of the league.

Iwas thinking of making this game my first match of the season since I gave up my season ticket. I fully intended to get a ticket, but as the week has progressed I just haven't got round to it. That must be telling me something so when I read comments like the above about 2000 charlton fans coming and empty spaces all around the Gills stands I feel like it would just be a depressing experience. Medway rugby are at home just around the corner from me which is always good to watch and to which I can take my dog, and we have a youth day at the cricket club which I haven't been to for years as it always seems to clash with a Gills home game. So I don't think I'm going to bother with Gills. At the moment my heart just isn't in it and everything I read makes me less enthusiastic about attending a game. And it's not just because we are losing; goodness knows I've seen seasons like this one seems to be shaping up many a time, but it's everything that surrounds the club. Players who profess to love the club leaving then making cryptic comments, court cases, criminal investigations, money grabbing such as closing the education centre, Ade making reference to £200 a week players, which is hard to believe, fewer and fewer fans and a poor atmosphere etc. Where is the incentive for me to make the effort to get to a game? As an aside, after 15 years or so of faithfully renewing my ST without any thought, I was surprised that when I didn't renew, the club didn't contact me to try to encourage my renewal, or to ask me why I wasn't renewing. I would have thought that would have been useful market research. I really hope we thrash Charlton tomorrow and that I get my enthusiasm back, but at the moment, a rugby match in the park or our youth cricketers having fun seem more appealing to me.

We've always had moments where we wonder what is going on. I have to say, this season takes that to a whole new and frightening level. I am fearful for our future currently.

Scally is as a football owner ,an idiot, sorry thats what I think he is in the world of football. Sure he was bright back in the 80's or when ever when he sold bunches of people used copiers on a promise and a prayer, he was bright when he bought the Gills for a QUID, but he shows he really wasn't very bright when he failed to sell suckers used computers, or used copiers to fit there used computers, and he really showed how dumb he is when we got GFC into the Championship Division, finishing 11th,then letting them slide back to the FOURTH DIVISION,he doesn't give two f***s about GFC, I really believe that.

I think Gillingham will line up as follows.......................

-----------------------------------------Holy-------------------------------------------
O'Neill--------------------Zakuani--------------------Lacey--------------------Ogilvie
-----------------------Hessenthaler-------------------Byrne---------------------------
Wagstaff--------------------------------------------------------------------------Clare
---------------------------Wilkinson------------------Eaves----------------------------

SUBS: Arnold (GK), Ehmer, Nugent, Oldaker, Starkey, Parker, Nash

I was going to name Billy Bingham amongst the substitutes bench, But I think New Signing Jesse Starkey will be in The Match-Day Squad for tomorrow's home match against Charlton Athletic, With Lee Martin suspended, I think Sean Clare will drift out-wide to the left wing, he took his goal really well on Tuesday Night Against AFC Wimbledon and I was also impressed with Sean Clare's Delivery From Corner Kicks, Liam Nash should recovery from his illness to be on the bench, and likely make a cameo appearance at some point during the match.

I am not sure which way this match is going to go, either Charlton Athletic live up to early season expectations and Charlton Athletic win 3-0 / 4-0, or, Gillingham rip up the form book completely and nick this match 1-0, I am hoping for the latter over the former, and let's hope that Gillingham can pick up there first league win of the season - COME ON THE GILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew it,I knew it, all our troubles are over, Ady is the best manager we have ever had and Holy,Holy, Holy is a better keeper than Johnny Simpson.
Well done the Gills nice three points today, good job we have a good defense and a good job Chorlton couldn't hit a barn door from ten paces, still three points is three points and we thanks the boys for that.
