Just putting it out there, but I very much doubt Gillingham have under soil heating - very cold this morning, and the ground in my garden is rock solid - let’s hope they have put covers on, and the game goes ahead
At least only a short journey, albeit my mate’s wife who is coming along has noted the Xmas market in Rochester this Saturday 🙄

Parking information from Gillingham Supporters Club
Hello,
With permit parking restrictions in place all around Priestfield Stadium, the Gillingham FC Supporters’ Club provide car parking for both home and away fans and we would like you invite your supporters to use this facility for your forthcoming match.
The car park is situated at Barnsole Road Primary School, the address being the junction of School Avenue and Barnsole Road, postcode ME7 2JG, and is around 5 to 10 minutes’ walk from Priestfield Stadium. The car park is clearly signposted. We have availability for approximately 50 cars, with an overflow area available for an extra 20 cars when required. The car park is gated and opening times are:-
Please note that the car park will be locked 10 minutes before kick-off. It will reopen approximately 10 minutes after the full-time whistle as the school require the car park to be secure when our attendant is not on site. A telephone number is available should anyone need to leave early in an emergency. The cost to park, cash only please, is just £5.00, which is the same for home supporters who are not Gillingham FC Supporters’ Club members.
Local takeaways can be found nearby in Sturdee Avenue and further down Barnsole Road at Livingstone Circus and on Gillingham Road.
For further information, including photos, maps and directions to Priestfield Stadium from the car park, please view: kpgills.wixsite.com/gfcsupportersclub and select the ‘parking’ tab.

PARKING
There is no available parking at, or outside the stadium, on matchdays. However, there is parking available at the nearby Woodlands Academy (postcode: ME7 2DU) and Our Lady of Gillingham Church (postcode: ME7 1YL) and Barnsole Primary School (ME7 2JG). Both are within a ten minute walk of the stadium.
Does anyone know if the other parking places at Woodlands Academy and Our Lady of Gillingham are still options? Cost and availability of space?
I have looked up a parking app "Your Parking Space" and you can book places at ASDA at £8.95 but it's 20mins walk according to Gmaps. I rang their store to check that it wasn't some sort of scam, they confirmed it as bone fide.
Thanks @Blucher for the heads up re international TV coverage. Just checked, and Viaplay Sweden are showing it so likely a fair few more too - and pirate streams as a result.

I think the church still does parking, I'd say there's about space for around 50 cars so not huge amount.
If you don’t mind walking for 10 minutes you’ll find lots of on street parking without restrictions however I would recommend the top end of Gillingham, try upper woodlands or barnsole or the roads off them
The ground has a small capacity. Half of the scaffolding stand has been condemned.
I took my son to see Gills V Accrington earlier in the season (I've been taking him on a football league journey) and that stand was completely empty. Presumably the away fans were squeezed into the Gordon Road stand, I couldn't really tell.
Anyway, I think we can guess who will score for the Gills...
Just walked my dogs at Hall Place - this morning the ground was rock hard where I live, however the football pitches at Hall Place this afternoon were definitely playable, as it had warmed up quite a bit - temperature drop tonight isn’t as bad as was forecast earlier this week, and sunshine predicted for Medway from mid morning onwards - provided covers are on, this will go ahead (famous last words…..)
Their tickets went on general sale so basically anybody with a Kent address could probably get one, it looks like there may still be tickets available so not a lot of interest from Gills fans, so why didn’t they simply give Charlton some more tickets to sell if they are concerned about Charlton fans buying tickets on the ‘home’ areas ?

Edit- for on street parking you can use this map to show where there are no CPZ https://medwaymaps.medway.gov.uk/SISWebMap9.0.2533.0/Map.aspx?x=575494&y=168463&resolution=3.49999999944882&epsg=277002020&mapname=mms&baseLayer=Light&datalayers=Resident Parking Permit Application Zones,selectFeaturesControl_container
Plenty of streets around Grange road though finding a spot might be tricky. Also best to stay away from the Vineries if you value your wheels.
Michael Appleton's men will be backed by 1,608 Addicks at Priestfield Stadium.
