Sat 16th July - Gills Youth Team fixture
Ramsgate 4-0 Gillingham XI

I guess every manager thinks they can turn the guy who signed with a 1st,2nd or Championship club into a formidable player,even if when he was say signed on a freebie from I don't know let's say Port Vale,and while he was there only went out on loan to let's say Dover (bad example) so lets say Dartford . I guess if he was in a Premier Divisions Academy or B team it is better than if he was say in Swindon's academy,but I think poor Mr Harris has got one hell of a job on hs hands this year in getting Gillingham promoted with the check for 472 pounds Scally gave him this off season to bring a promotion winning team to Gillingham Football Club.
Once again it comes through to me LOUD AND CLEAR, the idiot that owns Gillingham Football Club doesn't give a sh*t about the club or the supporters ,Mr.Harris good luck for this year Sir, and if you leave at Christmas to go a First or Championship Club I would not blame you at all. Good luck Sir,please try and keep us in the Second Division if you can,one more relegation will probably be the end of GFC.

So with the first game just around the corner, who do you think our starting eleven will be ?

Absolutely no idea! I think Lee will start even though he was sub but that is about it. Oh, and maybe O'Keefe, I guess he's still captain?
