Not sure if Airman B has the info, but hoping for a decent turn-out against our kindly cousins from Kent! First pre-season game I've been able to make this year and whilst there may not be the raft of new faces some are after, based on reports from others am looking forward to seeing Bover, Smith and Cook as well as how last season's regulars are shaping up (has Yann shed a few pounds yet??). Are many Lifers kent-bound???

    Ssshhh, you can't say that...when we played them in the league the season before last there were some Lifers who almost burst a blood vessel at the suggestion that it was a Kent derby!

    It got very heated with 'maybe it's because I'm a Londoner' posts , cockney rhyming slang, cor blimey guv, pearly kings and queens, jellied eels, 'I went to Kent on me 'olidays once when I was a kid and it was 'orrible cos the busses weren't even red they was green' ...

    I think someone then suggested we might call it the 'A2 derby', but they didn't like that much, either, as the A2 is apparently the gateway to Pikey-land and SE7 faces the other way. Or something like that.

    But secretly I agree with you. You cannot beat a good wind-up Kent derby game!

  • DaveyDavey Member
    Need to make up for that bore draw last time they came to the Valley the season before last. @incorruptible addick: I think the "Network South-Eastern Greenwich Line Derby" has a better ring to it!?!?!?!

    Rip off imo. £15.00 for a pre season friendly? £15.00 to sit in that ridiculous open golf stand.

    Nah.

    I believe it is Woolwich Arsenal, just to include the Gooners in it!

    Do they still owe us money from the pre-season friendly a few years back?

  • Saga Lout Member
    Congrats Large!

    I won't be at the match due to my niece getting married in Cornwall. At least she's avoided the start of the season.

    would not line the tossers pockets at that price
  • johnbaker Member
    Planning on going. Can you buy on the day?
  • soapy_jonessoapy_jones Member
    I was thinking of taking a load of printed leaflets and handing them out in the home stands that basically say...

    "The Jills are shit, Scally is a Knob, please stop supporting the racist twat Jills, we have arranged totally free transport to the Valley that will pick you up and drop you back on your very doorstep, with a free blow job from Rachael Riley off of Countdown to the 1st ten on bus, plus a £50 note to anyone who sings, maybe it's because i'm a Londoner whilst pissing on a photo of the patron saint of Kent, St Gyppo..."

    Because that's basically what we did the last time we were down there according to Scally, was it not ?

  • BedsaddickBedsaddick Member
    £15 !!! I can't believe the man has the nerve !
  • leftbehind Member
    All Should Boycott the game purely for the over pricing
  • addick1965addick1965 Member
    I was thinking of going..but £15!! Penfold can do one!!
  • Elthamaddick Member

  • Carter Member

  • soapy_jonessoapy_jones Member
    Off to Chatham later. Had my shots two years ago when I was visiting malaria infested swamp land in Botswana but I don't care, I am mad me !
  • se9addick Member
    Really want to go but just can't afford £15 plus the amount of alcohol that I would inevitably require to get through a day in that hole.
  • DA9DA9 Member
    Its the arsehole of Kent and needs wiping.
  • DaveyDavey Member
    so long as we run out comfortable winners with a hatful of goals and no injuries, and I get a seat next to Rachel on Soapy's coachful of leaflets (on the way down there, mind!), should be a good day out!
  • Southendaddick Member
    Maybe I am getting old/sensible but the thought of spending money in gillingham for a pre season friendly seems ridiculous

    If youve got a pass off the wife save your money and go to the local to get smashed dont give scally your hard earned

    Watch the Chatham jibes

    Before we go overboard on how shit the place is (and it is) lets remember a load of us regularly go to bigger dumps like rottenham, Carlisle, burnley, stoke just to mention a few! It's a good pre season beer up, out of London close to a lot of our support and it should be sunny. Just don't drive there!

    I genuinely don't think those mentioned are a bigger dump that Gillingham
  • Carter Member
    Gillingham is not as much of a shithole as tottenham, no way

    Like picking your favourite out of Stalin or hitler maybe
  • PlaaayerPlaaayer Member
    Was in Grays today, don't think there's much between the 2 to be honest.

    I have, Gillingham's worse. Gillingham high st/town centre is one of the most deprived "down town" areas in the Western world. Truly awful.
