Just wondering what not606 Gills fans are going to the game at Priestfield against Burton Albion this Saturday? Where in the ground do you sit, do you have a pre match drink before you go? Being a season ticket holder, I sit in the Medway Stand, generally I will go in the Cricketers for a drink before the game.
I'm disappointed you have to ask - surely you can hear me from the Silver section C in the Gordon Road stand - I also try to make sure the ref can hear my instructions from all areas of the pitch. The linesman has to take valium ( before,during and after the games .)
Being exiled up north in dirty Leeds I don't get to many home games, about ten a season when I pop down to catch up with the folks. My old man sits in block M of the Rainham End so I usually get a ticket around there. Usually grab a pint in the Blues Rock but have been known to partake of one in the Cricks
The Gordon Road Stand, is probably the only part of the whole ground I've never sat in as it is now, not unless you call standing round the old RE one time in that section (17,000+ for an Everton cup game, absolutely crammed) which is now part of the GRS. It was always known has the shut up and sit down brigade, when I was a young lad, so I don't know how they let you in there
Normal seat in the Medway stand, as for drinking! I never touch the stuff. Well only if it's on medical grounds.
grumpy - on medical grounds, that makes it every game Not sure if you were around mate but you should have met up with me and mighty last home game, I went in the blues rock for a change. We asked them what real ale they had, the look we got from the bar staff
always go with the old man. get a savaloy and chips b4 the game. sit in the lower medway stand block E. My dad knows the chairman so had 8 years of free season tickets in the directors box (5 course meal with the board each game) this stopped about 3 seasons ago though. was awesome, met some famous people. ie. sven goran erricson when england manager. whole chelsea team when they done us in the cup. our old division 1 team. was so good but had to wear a suit each game. now i stick to chips and a beer before the game lol.
Well thats where I stood for that game too lol Season ticket in Rainham End behind goal slightly to the right as you look at it.Approx where I used to stand.
Always KM stand, lower stand C as it is close enough to the away fans and "line'o", As for drinks - has to be Cricketers for a couple of fine largers and a burger or two ! UTG.
brb, I'm always there (STH) I would like to meet Mighty at the moment to tease him about Gills beating the Wall at the weekend, ok. it was the Ladies team but a win is a win.
yes, depends on whos coming with me if i can persuade some of my mates i'll be in the rainham end if not i tend to meet up with a couple of season ticket holders i know in the medway stand.
My last post BRB sent without all the text!! I will be at the game Saturday with my son (my wife is taking this game off) We sit as season ticket holders in the Rainham End block 4 row M, We have sat in the Medway Stand and the Gordon Road stand over the years but have settled in the Rainham End for 6 seasons now. We dont do a pub at home games but sometimes have a beer at the ground, do however find a pub when playing away. Looking forward to Saturday as it will be a good test of how well we will compete against the better teams now we will have Two up front! UTG!!!
Rainham End for the last 15 years (I'm 22 now) remember being devastated when they bought in seating! The same seat for the last 10...permanent arse groove now. Never really pre-drunk before the game, but am always open to!
I've got to go to a wedding this week so my season ticket seat just behind Hessy will be empty in the Medway. i hope he can manage without my advice. I sometimes manage the Cricketers pre match, sometimes the Livingstone post match, sometimes both.
After all these years I've never been in the Livingstone! The Away pub not that they can do much business in L2?
Gordon road, block nearest the rainham end block A. Im never in gillingham early enough to get a pint as I have a 2 hour drive to get there.
