A tandem is about the only thing that gets around the streets round here tbph, I actually don't know where the away supporters coaches go! They will not let them drop out side of the ground due to away supporter safety, I can only guess they must drop them somewhere down the station end.
Main pubs are Cricketers and The Factory, you wouldn't get in either of them, bouncers checking for home stand tickets. The only away pub in Livingston Road closed down, so don't know where the away supporters are directed to now. I think when our nearest rivals Charlton come down they use Wetherspoons in Rochester, just a short train journey away. If you start coming in closer to booze then it's going to be down to the local licencees.
If you knew the layout of the area you would understand No **** accidently wanders into Railway Street
Naah. If we end up playing down there next season, we're meeting up, having a few beers and I'll sit in the stands with you guys
Let me make it clearer for you, which is why i laughed about the bus. Gillingham Football Ground is in the middle of a massive housing area, the streets act as a natural divide between away and home supporters. Many years back a Fulham supporter was killed at out place, after that all the little rat runs were cut off and better policed. The only way supporters can clash is at the station, a frequent flash point for when playing rivals ie Swindon, Charlton, Wall. Being a 'home' supporter I have no reason to be wandering into the narrow dead end street that the away supporters would be entrancing through.
Sounds like you're almost proud about that brb. All I said was I'd come down and watch a game with you after a few beers. Wasn't tginking about the thuggery if it at all.
You asked if i didn't get to games because i did not know where the away supporters dropped off, I was explaining why it was i did not know. Basically saying as a home supporter there are streets you would not be in, hence why i don't know.
