havanatopia Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) The Gylls family homestead so the name derives is listed in the Domesday back dating back to 1086. From a tiny hamlet Gillingham grew to about half its current size by 1901. In the scheme of British population growth that falls way short of the average and may be something to do with its linear development along the shoreline of the Medway. Famous for its Chatham Dockyard about 2/3rds of which was in Gillingham proper. I previously noted in threads on Gillingham that I thought they had the best fish and chip shop outside any ground in the country, at least those that I had visited. That establishment has sadly now closed but perhaps they had some inspiration from chef Gary Rhodes who is associated with the town. Whether Gillingham football club is propelled into future stardom as a potential target for foreign ownership, as has been mentioned elsewhere, will remain a mystery but if that is their wish the supporters can dream about it in the meanwhile. Until then we have a game of football to contend with to stop them with the short term glory of a Wembley appearance. I suspect the record book boffins will be out trying to uncover the record number of times two teams have played in a football season but I would venture that no team will have beaten the other in every single match.. how we fair tonight will keep that possibility alive. I hope we have a decent turn out, City do not have fatigue and we win; while a draw is enough confidence truly feeds all the more with victories. perhaps a close fought contest with the possibility that Gillingham will be going for it and either score early or leave themselves open to attack from the flanks. 3-2 to City on the night. Agard Smith JET one a piece. UTC Edited January 29, 2015 by havanatopia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thephat1 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Really cant see anything else but a city Wembley day out. The Gills have to come at us and try and win 3-0 firstly have we conceded 3 all season? (too lazy to check) secondly they have to stop us scoring at least 1 and that hasn't happened too many times this season. So the opportunity to hit them on the break early doors as they come at us will clearly give us opportunity's. Hopefully we can score early put the tie to bed and rest a couple of players for the second half before the real business of getting out of this division starts again on Sunday.

We drew 3-3 at Fleetwood, a more important stat is we haven't lost by more than 1 goal all season, so they'll have to do something much better teams haven't done so far and pull a 2-3 goal margin.
