Excellent. A really good home start followed by two bigger local tests. Those should wet the appetite even more.

The  Eco Moat should be  seeing bumper crowds in those opening matches. What's wrong with League Two eh?!

I always look at the run in, and we've been blessed with one which on paper will look favourable compared to our opponents. Nothing is won on paper though but bring it on.

We'll win it against Barrow Filo so we can all enjoy it at our place.

I'd rather wrap it up at home against Wrexham then have a few games to spare for the party.....not being greedy like  :whistle:

That’s the one fixture I have consistently avoided over the last few years.
Hate that ground.
Open end for away fans unless moved to the side. Never did when I went so if wet you get drenched.
Terrible record at that ground.
If we need a point or 3 to win the league or secure a play off place I will have to go.
It is also a very very long time since I missed the last game of the season.
So Priestfield  it seems that here I come again after a long break. Been there 6 times I think it is and never seen a win for us.
Hope we are promoted the week before or even earlier. Sounds like the sensible option based on our record in Kent.

First three home games absolute crackers - Harrogate, Notts C and Mansfield. Big test of how far we've come but get some good crowds in and back the team and we'll be flying!

Selfishly may work out perfect for me.  I'm set to land back at 4pm from holiday day of the Mansfield game. Let's hope it's on time!

Home to Harrogate....that'll do nicely

I’m so glad we are starting at home.
I can’t make the following Saturday match.

Only once have I seen them win there and in view of the date, it was not a good time to be travelling a long way - 29 Dec 2019.

It was in McCann's year and I remember it because Gillingham did not look as though they were trying. Either that or we just made it look easy - what a team!! So the consolation is that under the present leadership we are unbeaten there. Although it's relatively close for me, I still hate going there. The Medway conurbation is very depressed economically and socially. I usually park a mile or so away and have to walk the length of the main shopping streets.

I may have mentioned this before, but it was probably the game when the Gills fans cheered when Marquis's name was announced because he had a successful loan there - so credit to them for that!

Gills 1 : Rovers 3 (Marquis, Wilks, Andrew.)
I Lawlor, M Blair, D Andrew, T Anderson, A Butler, B Whiteman, H Kane, T Rowe yellow card (J Anderson, 85), Alfie May (R Boocock, 89), M Wilks (A Crawford, 77), J Marquis
Subs not used: M Marosi, M Lund, S Blaney, M Gibbons
Referee: Neil Hair - Attendance:4791

It'll be one of the promoted teams or one of the relegated teams !
Or one of the other 17 teams.  ;)
Yes it was one of the other 17 teams. I just worked on the law of averages 17 v 6 odds were always in my favour.
