    Accrington (again)

    Well, for better or for worse (probably the latter), I'm back. Having taken a long sabbatical from this forum I decided in the taxi on the way to the ground that it was time to break that, so .. hello again. However, same old, same old. So, here I sit, several pints later, reaffirming that the...

    More unnecessary expense

    Haven't investigated this in detail, but presumably because of late filing of something - and this only happens after appropriate warnings. So, fines will be applied, and although this company is 100% PS and theoretically the club doesn't have to find the money, our chairman will have to, and we...

    Where do we go from here?

    OK, I'll have to do my best to express my feelings in language that is permitted on this board, and not the language that I'm sure will be used when I meet up with other northern Gills at Wigan in 10 days or so. But the honest answer to the question I have posed is "*****d if I know" There can...

    Off Topic Christmas Quiz

    Derby County

    I have read that among the creditors of Derby is HM Revenue & Customs who are reportedly owed £26 million. Whilst many businesses during the last 18 months have faced severe cash flow problems, surely for HMR&C to allow a debt of that magnitude to accumulate is a matter of serious incompetence...

    Off Topic Murray Walker

    On Sunday I went to Silverstone for the MotoGP, and seeing this at the back of the National Pits Straight stand gave me a huge smile and brought a tear to my eye. Absolute legend

    Transfer Embargo

    https://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/sport/amp/gills-under-transfer-embargo-250325/ No further comment required. Though I might, when I've found an appropriate way of expressing the degree of stupidity

    Gills programmes offered

    During the lockdown I've decided to have a clear out of stuff that, frankly, I'm not really going to need any more, one of the criteria for deciding on what stays and what goes being want above need. So, I've got a few Gills programmes that are going to go. If anyone wants them please pm me...

    Off Topic Kurt Cobain's 'Unplugged' guitar

    Don't know if anyone else was interested, but we've watched with a mixture of amazement and boredom the auction of rock memorabilia (though given some of the lots that word should be considered cautiously) that took place on Friday and Saturday in Beverley Hills. The undoubted highlight was the...

    FA Cup - ticket income - an apology

    In the threads https://www.not606.com/threads/var.349757/ and https://www.not606.com/threads/the-chairmans-christmas-message.369913/ I made a big deal about the distribution of net ticket income and was under what I now know to be the mistaken impression that part of the receipts went to the FA...

    Rochdale

    As I've been taken off suicide watch I thought I'd post a few comments for those that were fortunate enough to have missed yesterday's latest episode in how to alienate your fan base. The reports of last week's performance against AFC were not good, a point reconfirmed by a well known STH...

    Third most improved team in League 1

    According to SKY analysis http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11372249/premier-league-championship-league-one-and-two-clubs-ranked-for-improvement I suppose this is fair enough as a basic analysis, but it only compares clubs who remained in the same division and doesn't take account...

    Looking forward...

    ...through an increasingly clear crystal ball and not wanting to jinx results for the remainder of the season while I (and I think others) might be giving thoughts already to our prospective away game at Sunderland, anyone who knows the ground must enjoy the prospect of their away game at...

    No accounts (again)

    Yet again Scally is subjecting the club to more fines for late filing of accounts. Not a huge sum of money admittedly, but totally unnecessary if a modicum of organisation and professionalism were applied to the management of the club, for which, let us not forget, Mr Scally pays himself a...

    Logistics

    So what's the best solution? Plymouth is roughly a 260 mile each way trip, and for a Saturday afternoon kick off the team will probably travel on Friday. If they decide to go back to Gillingham they'll be back late Saturday or early Sunday morning. Carlisle is roughly 335 miles by the shortest...

    Goals (or lack thereof)

    90 league minutes without a goal is sort of understandable, 180 is worrying, 270 is looking a bit problematic. What odds can I get on them scoring before I get to see them at Rochdale at the end of next month? Probably worse than I could get for AP still being manager if that situation still...

    Chairman's statement / newsletter

    A lengthy letter from Paul Scally has been made available on the OS http://www.gillinghamfootballclub.com/documents/gfc-supporters-letter-rev166-3639162.pdf There are some interesting points and information made available in this letter. I'm sure that there will be discussion on this board...

    All tickets £1

    But unless you live in the Rochdale area it's probably not worth the trip. https://www.rochdaleonline.co.uk/news-features/128/advertorials/108319/watch-dales-league-one-fixture-v-port-vale-for-just-1 If they're chasing a play off place and make this sort of offer, how much do you think Scally...

    New Central Defender - Really!!!

    At least according to KOL http://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/sport/experienced-defender-signs-on-at-121100/ Premiership experience, although one always has to ask questions as to why he chose to play abroad rather than stay in UK. Nevertheless let's hope that he's everything we need and hope...
