Christmas decorations up on Jan 2nd? Not surprising at all! Remember the song "The 12 days of Christmas"? Partidges in pear trees and so on?This goes on till 12th night, Jan 6TH when the Magi brought their gifts to Bethlehem....
@@mariasummers-r9e I think it’s pretty strange to have Christmas related things up after New Year’s Day but that’s because presumably the run up to Christmas keeps starting from further back every year!
Enjoyed the video. The away end will remain a running joke for many more seasons yet, though first time this season the scaffolding was open due to it being such a northern heavy league. Our hospitality is really decent for league two so glad you got to experience that as the ground (apart from the scaffolding end) is a pretty good standard for the lower leagues.
@@JamesTingley-c2r I think the away end definitely gives the ground a bad rep and since the Galison’s have come in the match day experience has become a lot nicer (I remember the food under Scally 🥴). The hospitality was very good too overall especially for a league two side!
Really enjoyed the video, but the Gills are on a shocking run at the moment. Hospitality looked good, and off field events have come on strong. Its on field that counts most for the Rainham End of course
@DavidGay-mu1yo That’s so true. Off the field the owners have made the match day experience so much better, but unfortunately that doesn’t win you games and the squad needs an overhaul
Just watched for a second time, and heard the MOM award. What a laugh after losing 3-0. i watch the games live from here in Berlin, but am taking a rest after these last 3 abysmal performances. I have watched you on a couple of vids with Matt the Groundhopper, but have just joined your site too. Are you based in Kent, somewhere near the coast. Anyway, pleased you and your friends enjoyed hospitality, and meeting Neal Harris. Talk about him returning to the club, but please not as manager. Hope he enjoyed free hospitality, and returns home lol
@@davidwilliamgay4821 It was a tough choice on the day after the entire team were so abject! I’d take a break to if I was you. Welcome aboard I hope you enjoy my trips around Kent (where I’m indeed based!) and beyond at least the hospitality showing was good to make up for a dross performance
Wow i hope your mate had a couple of quid on 3-0 Bromley 😅 the food looked good and the Rainham End sounded in good voice before the game. I notice you had one Bromley fan in the hospitality 😅 sounds like it could've been 6. Pen was just the icing on the cake. Neil Harris to come back? Fair play to Bromley, their fans must have loved that. £30 more with all that comes with it isn't too bad!
@@no_soy_rubio I’ll bet he wishes he did! But I don’t think so. I thought it was a good offering for the price in all honesty, you couldn’t do it every time and you probably don’t want to watch much of Gillingham right now 😅 as for Harris it’s an interesting one, given how his time ended I’d be surprised if he wanted to come back but he was clearly there for a reason 🤔
Would that be the same n harris ( he's not worth capital letters ! ) who rocked up at Cambridge saying what a great club we are and wafted on about his connections to the city and then buggered off after 3months ? Things not going great for Gills at the moment , but stick with Mark Bonner ; really good manager and genuine person
@hillstfan3735 we're on a similar run to you were on when you got rid. Only we haven't had the good times of beating teams like Newcastle and Birmingham like you did. Losing at home to Accrington Stanley, Harrogate, Newport, Bromley etc just isn't acceptable.
@@the_footballtourist I fully understand your Christmas fatigue as it starts so early now, the commercial aspects long before December even. Christmas is meant to be a religious festival celebrating the Nativity that starts on the 25th of December and lasts for 12 days until the 5th of January. You must at some point in your life have heard the Christmas carol 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' where each day has an increasing number of gifts? Of course Christianity hijacked the celebration from the pagans who celebrated the winter solstice, the shortest day on the 21/22, as the planet's rebirth when the days start getting longer again and people knew that summer would return and with it plant growth and the crops that sustained life. Of course Christmas for Gillingham now means the rebirth of the Manager. Bit like when they change the Doctor in Doctor Who. The King is Dead. Long Live the King! 🤣
Come on guys, be a bit more honest with the price of the hospitality when compared to match day tickets because the difference is no where near £30. The actual price difference is just shy of £65.
Thank you for sharing, we live in Gillingham and it is sad seeing the team not doing well, hopefully the new manager will turn things around.
@@paramedicchrisbookseries My pleasure! Hopefully the change can do something to turn the season around
What are you smoking? 🤣

Can’t wait until he gets sacked
You never mentioned the price? And was it an open bar?
@@SPUNKER1000 That was the one downside really, it was a paid bar. I sort of made a throw away comment at the end but it was £55
He said 3 nil, I hope he put some money on that.
I thought Priestfield looked absolutely brilliant...
@@tonygledhill8827 He didn’t, no idea if he would’ve made if he did but alas he didn’t. I’ll definitely say games at night suit Priestfield a lot more
God imagine having to do man of the match duties after a three nil loss!
@@luketaylor6536 I know right 😅 he was still going around when we left. Must be worse than most punishments
Spot on prediction by your mate, terrible evening for the Gills 👎 great video Tom 👍🏻⚽️
@ He took one look at the form and picked it. I honestly have never seen a Gills team this abject, surely a decision needs to be made?
@@the_footballtourist well that decision has been made 👍🏻⚽️
@ how do you feel about it?
Never heard of the 12 days of Christmas? Only after 12 days after Christmas Day should decorations be taken down.
I have heard of it just had a bit of Christmas fatigue but that point is all. I also thought it ended on the 25th not started! The more you know

You’re right there. Is Tilbury that bad?
I said 0-3, too
@@adrianpope3182 Well played. My mate didn’t put anything on it, hope you did at least!
@@the_footballtourist I didn't! So we saw Mark Bonner's last game
@ I just saw! Can’t say I’m surprised what an atrocious set of performances and results, something had to change
Worst performance of the season. Glad the food was good.
@@dolphusmeyer Thanks man 🙏 it was nice to be able to go in the warm at half time as well
Hospitality at Gillingham means not having to go to the hospital after the match
@@ka536-e1g You’d have to say it’s worth it just for that
Went there twice in the 60s , never again . One of my clubs supports died there. S**t hole.
