Looking Ahead to Gillingham

[mervyn]

I would like to look around Chatham Dock before the game. Apparently good for museums and old houses of interest. Can any local tell me if this area is OK for parking, because it looks as though the ground is quite near. Thanks.

Plenty of parking in the dockyard and the shopping outlet. Half an hours walk back into Gillingham / ground.

Other option is to park up in Rochester - castle, cathedral, Dickens museum and festival on (so will be busy) - and get the train to Gillingham. Two stops - 5 minutes.

Woodlands Road has lots of on road parking if you aren’t too late. Other than that i echo above and suggest drive to Rochester and get the train over. 5 minutes and 10 minutes walk.

Pubs in Gillingham arent great anyway, Rochester is ok although transforms on a Saturday! Cricketers is a nice pub, remember a great night in there after the game about 4/5 years ago!

pretty long queue at the ticket office right now

Booked my ticket online - no issues.

Unallocated seating. So will the stander-uppers go to the back of their own accord or will they go to the front and hack everyone off yet again?

the standers want to be at the back. the problem with reserved seating like Charlton was they couldn't as didn't get a choice which seat they bought and had to sit in it

Not strictly true Kat. Personal callers at the ticket office can always ask for what part of the stand they want, as I do it. I would hazard a guess that some of them aren't ST holders and have to take what's left when they go on general sale.

true although I as a season ticket asked for lower down tickets for Charlton for this exact reason and was told no they had been told to sell literally I order a

I think you’ll find we will. It’s what happens at every away game apart from the ones where we sell out and allocated seating is ‘forced.’

Thanks Sam.

Any chance if it stays at an allocation of 1500 that tickets will make it to general sale?

I reckon these usually all seem to make it to general sale but get snapped up quite quickly on general sale

Does anyone know if it is within the terms and conditions for a adult Green Member to buy an adult ticket for use by someone else to use? I can see that the allocation is one per member to the same concession as the membership but I can't find any terms and conditions that say that this ticket must then be used by that member (in the same way that entry to home games for members is technically non-transferable).
