GILLS WIN, GILLS WIN,GILLS WIN, was Evans there, did he get a red card, did he get sent to the stands, did he upset any old Granny's or Granddads, sitting near the Gills bench, did he ,did he, what about the tax department were they there with handcuffs trying to arrest him , did he resign because we only scored 9 goals, and he had demanded 10.
NO, hell glad I missed that match, I have got 10 quid on Lovell being Gills next manager and a fiver on both Andy Hessenthaler, and Peter Taylor just as a side bet, and the electric bill needs to be paid.

Is it just me or is this thread a "groundhog " season. I was under the impression that Season 2019/20 is imminent!

Done. By the way, how weird it feels writing 2020.

Bearsted 1-7 Gillingham
Monday saw a development squad game. No details for this match other than that Roman Campbell scored twice and that Rees and Woods scored 2 of the others.

I guess a win ,is a win, is a win, but I think 2-1 is not as good as I would expect it to be , come on you Gills lets go.
I see were 10/1 to win promotion, I think this time last year we were odds on favorites to get relegated, so thats a start I guess.
