A tough game,and a very long trip especially for a Tuesday night.Credit to the fans that have sacrificed a whole working day for it.If we can take a point home we will be happy.

As long as we stay out of that dam relegation zone then I will be one happy camper, lol. Bury have a tough one against the Shrews, and Nthptn and Plymouth are playing each, so a win for the Gills tonight could see us up by 3 points from the others in the danger zone, GO GILLS.

A very good point! Blackpool sounded the better Team,they probably should have killed the game.They took Vassell off and we brought on Nugent to play upfront.Eaves scoring a 90th minute equaliser,and could have won it late on too.Massive credit to the 145 fans who were rewarded for making the long trip mid-week.
