I have been told that there was also a website problem in the few days leading up to the early bird deadline. Apparently the system could not match the customer to their current seat.

My money is on the diamond.

Agreed. I don't suppose we will ever fully get to the bottom of what happened behind the scenes before his departure but what a season that was.

Not impressed with the arrogant tone of this statement. Looks like this is going to be completely non-negotiable. I think some direct action like a season ticket holder boycott of match day programmes, lottery tickets and catering is required.

Don't you just love the holier than thou supporter. I really don't enjoy the style of football that Akinfenwa's presence leads to so I would rather not see him return. If anyone believes it will not be route one they are deluded. Obviously not all his fault but the type of football a team...

Looks like an Akinfenwa / German striker partnership this year then. I think we will smash league one with that.

Excellent comments. It seems that fans are divided about the return of Bayo anyway and the disappointment of not seeing a "marquee" signing only turns some fans off the Bayo signing even more.

I didn't even want him first time around. With Bayo and Cody in prime form we could only finish outside the play-off places in league two.

Not good news at all. I wasn't overly impressed with him first time around and Northampton rated Clive Platt above him. Would rather have Danny Kedwell any day of the week. We will need another pacy striker if we sign akinfenwa too.

If it isn't Cody I will be seriously disappointed if Akinfenwa turns up. If Shrewsbury can afford Cody then surely so can we. Hopefully it may be someone off the radar instead.

Dave Smith against Swindon in the home leg of the play off final - Never known a better atmosphere in the Rainham End than after that one. Sadly it all ended badly.

From my seat in the GRS he looked really good against us in the second half - really strong and powerful with a good touch. A lot of other supporters in the same block were impressed too - a good signing.

Glory hunters are not just a creation deriving from the premier league. Back in the mid 70s four or five of my brothers mates were Derby County supporters / fans on the back of two league championships. Don't suppose they stuck to their childhood team though!

I am there on cold Tuesday nights like many others. Building for the long term on the playing side rarely exists anymore. The average lifespan for a league two manager is only 2 years dropping to less than 18 months in league one and the championship. When Allen departs he will be replaced...

MA has already achieved far more than Hessy in one season. Poor form from Hessy in my opinion, almost belittling Allen's achievements. I have never seen a fitter or better drilled Gillingham side playing in this division. Hessy's teams were never up to this standard and his ability to unearth...
