As I live in Buckingham and Brackley is 6 miles away travelling down on one of the 10 coaches with a pick up at the end of my road..£20 coach ticket, a saving of £18 from my usual bus, train journey..£15 match ticket...Happy days!!

Do I assume you will be the guy in the plain shirt and pants sitting quietly on the back seat reading the paper ? Well at least you will have a pleasant journey home when the Mighty Gills bang in 5 or 6 this weekend, (if they let you back on the bus).
I hear Scally has "ordered" Taylor to play 5 forwards in a 2. 3. 5. set up to try and get rid of the Martin Allen mentality of only needing to score one to win.

No, I will be the guy in the Gillingham shirt! When I phoned to ask if it was ok to travel with them they were more than happy! They have about 500 fans coming down on saturday compare to the loyal 40 or so that follow them away in the conference north!

I cannot think of any situation when I would be willing to travel to a match with opposition fans. Maybe I am just too old school!

I flew to Mexico City once sitting next to a gay Latino guy, didn't effect me at all................ dharlins.
The journey down there will be fun, bit of banter back and forth, as for the journey home after they have been clobbered by 5 or 6 goals, I might think twice about getting off the bus at a rest stop, lol, take a quart bottle to *** in, or will an empty pint bottle will do ? lol.

Thoughts on the Team for Saturday? I would play...

Nelson
Harriman,Davies,Barrett,Martin
Gregory
Whelpdale,Lee,Dack
McDonald,Kedwell

Subs:Howard,McKain,Butcher,Hollands,German,Weston,Akinfenwa

Davies to come in for Legge,and Dack for Weston.Hopefully Cody will grab a goal or two to get his confidence up,and Kedwell to continue his scoring run.This is a banana skin as they will throw everything at us,and they have only lost once in their League all season so will be confident,so a start like last week could cost us.But im hopeful we can grab an early goal and win.It will be good to see Mulligan back at Priestfield,he always gave 100%.

Prediction: 4-1 Gills

It's hard to tell if he will look to win comfortably or give a other players a chance. If it is right that a decision about the next manager will be made after this game I don't think he will take any chances so will probably stick with pretty much what we have had recently. Still can't work out why Lee isn't suspended for this game but Legge is?

I think Taylor has the job already,so expect Taylor will be Manager whatever the result.The signing of Mousinho kind of hints that,and the players all seem to want him.I will not mind as long as we win tomorrow,as his record will look quite good.A defeat would put a downer on things.The conditions are not looking good tomorrow,so that could make it hard for us.Im hopeful we can get an early lead in the first 20 minutes,and then go on to win quite well.

So Mark how was the journey both ways?

I`m pleased to see that that the Replay is on BT Sport,it means I can go to my Mums and watch it.I hope we don't play as badly as Saturday,as the Nation will get what it wants a Cup shock.We get £33,750 no matter what,but if we win then we get an extra £18,000.
