This fixture wasn't put on at the last minute - it was announced on June 30th , and was always going to be an academy game rather than first team

Was it? The club tweeted that Stevenage had a pitch inspection, which was then cancelled and thanked Sheppey for hosting the game instead?

The club have definitely got that wrong . The Gills Debate site posted a link to the Sheppey website on the 30th June , where the fixture was announced .

Superb, thanks Soton. I got a bit lost with the number of changes that occurred.

Is this the same Matt Jarvis that was with the Gills back when Mr. Lidbit was a boy ? Wabo is young but seems to have done nothing in the last 2 or 3 years, guess he won't be asking for much in the way of a pay check. .

It is the same Gillsfan. When a bit of quality becomes available you'd be stupid to turn it down however, with the quality Evans has brought in, the likes of Wabo is one of those "I can't see him playing" sort of deals and we have probably enough players for him to not feature. I'd rather the money stay available for a back up keeper if need be.

It was very much a development squad game against a full strength Welling side that included Luke Rooney. Bradley Stevenson was the most experienced Gillingham player if you exclude Josh Rees who seems will not feature this season and is playing with the development squad.
