Only went because Bradford City are doing well.
Train from London, which is very easy – a couple of options on the route.
Got there early so went for a walk to the old docks area and went to a standard food led pub, the Mast and Rigging, which was fine.
Hot coffee, friendly staff.
Shocking! This temporary stand has been there years. It looks like the dodgy rigging they put up for a few days at the 18th hole. No-one believes that it is truly safe, and 3/4 of it was shut when we were there.
Good atmosphere. Gillingham fans get behind their team. Their mascot has a “stars and stripes” outfit in honour of their new owners, which was a bit embarrassing.
8/10 – We were quite cut off from them due to our stand and the route to away end.
OK. Straight forward walk back to station.
Not really. It’s a sad run-down place and a long way from most places.
The game is not far from me and it was my first away day.
It was an easy drive there.
Parking in Gillingham is a nightmare. We ended up parking at a friends house 5 minutes from Priestfield.
Pies at the ground – Very nice.
Good, and a decent price as well.
The away end was a hole to be honest. It had scaffolding and the seating felt very unsteady for us as we filled the stand. The view of the game wasn’t too bad overall but I didn’t feel particularly safe.
From Gills it was very flat and dull. Ipswich made the day awesome with chanting throughout.
8/10 – The locals are friendly enough.
Not very easy. The stewards made us walk around the away street rather than onto the street our car was parked on even though we explained it to them.
£35-50.
No. The parking is atrocious and the stand is just a hole. Great result but a wet afternoon in Gillingham won’t be on cards for me again.
