The Gills are 6 points off the drop zone with 6 points remaining. However, they have a superior goal difference and Plymouth (20th) play Scunthorpe (21st ) on the final day of the season. As both would need to win both the remaining 2 games to over-take the Gills, the Gills have secured their place in League 1 for next season.

Were home and dry unless Scunny win 8-0 , and 8-0 and the gills don't score, which I think is very likely to happen, the bit about us not scoring that is.
Get the Charlton game out of the way and then at Blackpool drop all the on loan players and the guys that have made it known they want away from Gillingham in a couple of weeks, tell them not to even bother to come in for training that week and lets see what the young players we have got can do in the big time.
By the way tell Lovell thanks very much but not to bother going to Blackpool either , because he's gone, off to manage Abergavenny Wanderers or someone.
Time to clean house Scally, bring in the new manager before you send the teal lady off for her vacation, bring in the scouts and lets sign some players before the week the 2019/20 season kicks off, instead of waiting and picking up the left overs like you normally do .
Even you Mr.Scally must realize bringing in players a day or two before the transfer window closes is obviously not the way to do it .

I am trying to figure out who the almost 16,000 fans would be that went to see an already relegated team play a bunch of nobody's like Gillingham FC on an Easter Monday ?? Maybe the pubs in the area didn't open until after the game finished ?
I can see a couple,maybe 3,000 fans that go week in week out, and I guess four or five thousand season ticket holders , the one guy that in the bar last night lost a bet and had to go todays game as a forfeit, a few hundred divorced guys who's kids were busy with Mum and her side of the family,and a few hundred Dads that promised their nippers they would take them to a game this season, some guys who's wives worked today in say a hospital or old folks home, and maybe a hundred or so fans that live away from Bradford that went back for the Easter vacation.
I think that could account for say 8 or 9,000 people at the game , so who were the other 7,000 or so poor souls that had to suffer that crap today , not Gills supporters I am sure, there could not have been more than a 100 of those there today could there ?

Bradford work on the basis of cheap season tickets encouraging more people to go . They have already sold over 13,000 for next season , with prices starting at 150 quid for an adult season ticket . Unlike us , they have the capacity at the ground to do this .

So I think that what we saw yesterday was some Bradford supporters not bothering to turn up , rather than vice versa .

I understand they were once top flight team and Moms and Dads and Gran and Grandads remember those days but are they the ones still going to the games in 2019 ?
The population of Bradford is EXACTLY the same as The Medway Towns, and there surrounded by teams like Leeds,Sheffield,Huddersfield, Manchester is only an hour down the road, and I hear that one of the reasons people don't go to the Gills is that there going to London to watch Premier footie,that must take an hour to get there , and isn't this rugby country,where ever town has a team of some sort or another ?
I am pretty sure we have plenty of space in Preiestfield, whats the average gate 4,900, and we seat 11,000+ so there is
6,000 + seats available
I have done some simple maths ,don't say in Aussie don't say it, lol,
So lets say Gillingham sold 3,000 season tickets this year at what 350 per ticket,thats 1,050,000 pounds
Selling 9,000 season tickets at 150 is 1,350,000 so we would only make an additional 300,000 pounds
Say we sold them for 200 pounds and threw in a few freebies here and there 1, 800,000 pounds
I think our wage bill is around 1,500,000 so to me it makes sense to sell more tickets ?

Of course I understand that sitting here playing with numbers and actually doing it in the real world is two different things, I think Scally has an awful lot of good will to spread around before the crowds come back to Priestfield, after all we only got a disappointing 7,000 for the FA Cup game against Cardiff, and I would guess at least what 750 were Cardiff fans ,leaving just over 6,000 people who were actual Gills fans , thats a lot less than the 35,000 Gills fans at Wembley a few years ago.

Actually I was wrong. Plymouth can overtake us by winning both their games and relegate Scunthorpe but Wimbledon can still overtake us after their last minute draw at Luton. 10 goals swing in our favour needs to be eradicated however, lose 3-0 at Blackpool and home to Charlton and they only need two 2-0 wins. Saying all that, we are surely safe aren't we? It is too impossible to go down just like a few seasons ago when we lost 3-0 at Wycombe and that season we........

.......wait a minute

.......nope, we went down then. Oh well, not over yet then.

Both Plymouth and The Wombles are playing teams fighting for survival like them, I don't think there going to win both and although I don't expect a lot from the Charlton game in the way of points, I can't see Southend beating both Rochdale and Sunderland ,I will agree it's a bit shaky knee time still. Blackpool away final day, needing a point, I am too old for this crap.

It sounded a bit like what it was an end of season game.Would have been nice to have won,but that point has practically secured safety.
