gillingham away part 2


Ever so often an away game comes around when you are proud to say you were there. this one i am delighted to say falls in this group!

its always nice to leave work an hour early (even though i had to make it up today grrr!!) i nice 3 hour journy down to the crap hole that is gillingham. found a great chip shop which serves the best fish and chips i have ever had at a football away day, even beating the famous blue lagoon fish bar in glasgow! (i will take you there sometime daniellie lol) £4.40 for fish and chips is a bargin and they tasted great!!

the pub across the road was average.yes they had some nice football memorbilia on display in the form of pictures and old shirts of a wide range of clubs(and yes i was the smart arse who named them all corectly!!) but was let down by the fact that the beer was served in plastic glasses, there was not czech beer on and they had a grimsby shirt on the celling!

i must admit that although it is a southern ground i was quite impressed by it.. The main stand and the home end oppisate us are championship level, with the stand down the other side nothing special but does the job, the view from the away end is good although a roof would be nice.

In the first half we were at best awfull and at worse crap. although they wernt much better. they got a penalty to make it 1-0 at half time..

in the second half it was a diferent game,it was all lincoln we scored our goal of the season to make it 1-1 scored by "the horse" (geff horsefield) and then in time added on we showed our pace to counter form our own 18 yard box and score the winner.

our great emigma got the winner danny engussen, who is staring to show why rangers signed him and why he could be if he put his mind to it a championship even premiership player.

to win in the last min is one of the best feelings in football and to do it in a game like this a long way from home on front of 138 die hard away fans makes it all the more sweeter!! to hrer thoses moaning southern accents after the game was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got back home at about 12.45 and was up for work at 5.07!! god bless red bull!!!

September to me has always seemed to be the worse month of the year by far. I think it started back when I was at school as it signifies the...
