Brian Moore Stand

According to the following......1500

What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?
Away fans are housed in part of the Brian Moore Stand where around 1,500 supporters can be accommodated. Like last season the stand is of the temporary variety i.e. the type that you would see around the 18th hole at the British Open Golf Championship, although it is of a good size and height, plus the views of the playing action are fine. Unlike most temporary stands though the facilities are surprisingly good, being of a permanent nature behind the stand. However it is uncovered so be prepared to get wet! One unusual aspect of visiting Priestfield Stadium is that away supporters have to walk down a very narrow terraced street to reach the away entrance, or if coming from adjacent streets down very tight alley ways. However, there is never normally any problems with this although after the game the Police sometimes close of some of the surrounding streets to keep fans apart.

:nono: Not my experience of a game in the Eighties. Very scary, probably the most "difficult" I have had at a football match.

Hmm, was planning to go to this but could be hard if they follow the 1 per person scheme employed for our last away game :fishing:

have to agree......went numerous times in the 80's and it indeed was immensely moody......no actual away end in the early 80's which just made things even worse......defo one where you had to look over your shoulder more than once;) :cool:

Why hasn't the club said anything about this yet, then?

Dunno; this is just the information that I received when I asked the question.
I think it's a question of a limited number being available in advance, the remainder pay on the gate; but the game is NOT all ticket, so presumably Gillingham don't think there is going to be a problem. :rolleyes:

Thats what you get by being a Championship club

Tickets booked for this one, hoping for a better result than the last 2 I've witnessed here
 

Gillingham Away

Don't take directions off the locals after the game, got misdirected last time we played here & wandered around this hellhole for ages :(

As for pubs, didnt see anything too friendly-looking, relying on a gillingham-supporting mate to find me somewhere good this time round

best to go from waterloo east station.

Are trains going from there? I know there are from Charing Cross and London Victoria. London Victoria is very easy, getting the train which is every 25 minutes to Ramsgate, which stops at Gillingham. Takes about 45 minutes, and it's quite a nice modern train.

£13 for Under 18's :grey: in an uncoverd stand :grey::grey: in Gillingham :grey::grey::grey:

See you all there then!

Best train will be from Victoria unless there engineering works. Remember the last time we played there was against Brighton in our basement year and we got well beat.

Bit of a miserable town and of course there was a lot of bad blood between the Gills and our West London neighbours Fulham after one of their fans was killed at the priestfield. Living down this way have not particulalry picked up any sense that trouble is a regualr occurence.
 

Gillingham Away

We've played there since we lost to Brighton on Boxing Day 1998. The following season we lost to Gillingham. :(

My recollection is that the town feels like it has been transported whole from somewhere very grim up north and deposited in the garden of England.

There is an away friendly boozer not too far from the station. Can't remember the name but I will get back to you. :sorted:

Can someone tell me if the game is not all ticket, can I turn-up on the day?

Let me know too please mate :wave:

I cannot get there till late as I have a hygenist :yuck: appointment at half eleven on the West-Saeed :eek:
 

Gillingham Away

Does anyone know why trains leaving Gillingham for London Victoria manage to leave Gillingham nineteen minutes before the next one, and yet they both arrive at the same time. i.e.:

Depart 16:40 16:59 17:10 17:29 17:59
Arrive 17:47 17:47 18:17 18:17 18:47
Changes 0 0 0 0 0
Duration 1:07 0:48 1:07 0:48

I presume it's just engineering works, or worse the dreaded bus alternative route. But I can't find anything on it on the net, and needing to be back into Victoria by 19:00 at the absolute latest is slight cause for concern.

Any ideas?

ring Gillingham station and act completely bewildered. that's what i do in times of crisis, even if my trouble is completely unrelated to train travel :yes:

No, just from across the water from a place called Grays. :sorted:
Whatever side of the thames estuary you live the towns are exactly the same, even in the so called "garden of england". Kent imho is vastly overated.

I think only the Charing X routes are affected. Trains to Victoria are fine.

The services you are looking at are probably fast and slow ones.
 

Gillingham Away

Think i will do the 11.33 getting in at 12.20 then return around 18.00 depending on the result :beer:

GroupSave (3 or 4 for the price of 2) is available for this. :sorted:

Is it only available from the 'main' station ie Victoria :scratch:

If so, it's probably not worth it for most :shrug:
