  • Gillingham beat Salford in a convincing away win and they continue to march up the league 2 table in tricky weather conditions. Could they reach third and bypass the playoffs at the end of April??

    Many years ago when I was a young lad (about 40 years ago) I was at a Chelmsford City game at New Writtle Street and it hailed so much at half time (with wind) that one corner filled up with ice/hail stones and they called it off without coming back out. I still remember leaving the ground once it finally stopped and the streets were covered in piles of hail stones.

      I know Chelmsford and Writtle really well from previous employment, one of the better parts of Essex 👍🏻

      Used to live in upper bridge road which joined on to new written street in the 70s up until 1982.Fond memories of going to watch the clarets as a young lad.First game I witnessed was in 1973, it was a fa cup against Ipswich Town.I think around 16000 crammed into that ground that day for a 3/1 loss.

    Bit late on the comments I know, but I do like watching your video's Matt. Very entertaining mate. Only 1 "gripe" as such - the recording volume. When you're near the fans and chatting to someone, you may need a separate mic? The half time chitty-chat with whoever he was was inaudible! Anyway, that apart, looking forward to the next one - keep up the good work.

    We spoke with some Gills fans at Cannock services last Saturday who were on their way up to Salford. None of us thought that we’d win our respective matches, but I’m happy that you’d had a good day out. If you are watching this video, well done and I hope the rest of the season goes well for you. Come on you Irons! ⚒️

      @@mattthegroundhopper9242 I visited Gillingham in the FA cup a few years back and I enjoy visiting different grounds while watching West Ham. I’ve reached over a hundred now (I’ll have to have a recount 😂) as I keep on losing count. I’m off to Freiburg on Thursday so that will be yet another chalked off. Good luck with your own travels around the different stadiums 👍🏻

    My word Matt, 3 of you covering the mighty Gills. Yourself, Matt and then Rhys on german gills. Plus of course i watched the game on i follow over here. Good to see Dan the man again, and pleased you both stayed dry this week. Makes the journey back more fun when you win. Makes me wonder why the consortium of ex united players invested in that ground. Better of playing muddy beach ball lol. Heard somewhere that they are looking for investment also. Beckham, Butt etc are running out cash lol

    Hope you didn't catch the flu. I was following the match on my way home after see Pink in concert at our wonderful Optus Perth stadium in front of 50,000 people. It's a shame that Salford are impacted by the two big Manchester teams for their support 😢. Anyway UTG and keep the faith play off's are possible and maybe even 3rd place ,it's in our own hands as we're got to play the top teams.

      Salford have had a rugby league team since 1873 but they get some of the lowest home attendances in the Super League.
