Londonboy Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Long trip for most I know but are many going down on Saturday? Usually a good ground for us. Last 8 games there we have won 4 drawn 2 and lost 2 so could be worth the trip. Should be a few OASIS crew there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm there but for one reason or another am in main stand with home fans. Wouldn't have been much of a risk of inappropriate spontaneous celebrations last season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I’m there with a mate of mine. Behind the goal unless it’s raining... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I've been once. We got rolled 1-0. I think it's a pretty safe bet to say I will never go there again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, I’ve yet to find a decent pub in all the times I’ve been down there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowl Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I got nicked there before the game in 2005 and didn't get let out until 10pm. What a shite day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that bowl. on a brighter note - We won the game 1-0 with Chris Killen scoring early in the game. Btw I behaved myself and had a not too shabby day ?

we hate man,u and city to Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Quite a few ex-tics (Josh Parker, Connor Wilkinson and Tom Eaves) one's bound to score. Confident we'll get a win though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightDN123 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Me and two others making the trip. Hoping for 3 points, last away game we all went to was Rotherham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4oakslatic Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 For reasons too boring to explain I sat with the Gills fans when they played Walsall on Saturday last, they won with their only shot. Walsall should have won by a hatful but didn't put any of their chances away. Gillingham defended deep, were well organised and will be no push over when we play them. BTW the Gills fans are posh , thought Walsall was 'the north '! And for some reason really hate Swindon ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an unusual rivalry bearing in mind the distance between the two places but there is some history between the two sides dating back to the late 70s. It stems from a couple of controversy filled games when they were both promotion rivals in division three. There were sendings off in both games and a lot of animosity between the teams. In the end neither team got promoted but Gillingham missed out by a point and still blame Swindon for it to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confident we'll get a win though. Eaves is looking a handful this season. He’s presumably fitter as he has become more mobile than the big lump he was at Yeovil. i still expect Gerrard to be able to deal with him though. Gillinghams left back should get rings run around him by Dummigan, I think we’ll get most of our joy down that side on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd been out on the Friday and was woken up by a mate stood at the end of my bed on the Saturday because my dad had given up trying to wake me up. I was hungover to shit. The game was toss. We lost to a penalty and someone shit themself on the minibus on the way back. It's a strong contender for being the worst day of my life...
