The Apprentice

Cf Beeb web:

Paul Scally says he will step down as Gillingham chairman if a suitable investor who is in a position to take the club forward makes an approach. Scally, who has been in charge since 1995, is unhappy at being booed by fans after last week's defeat to Scunthorpe. He intends to complete his objectives for the club - which include announcing new stadium plans before Christmas and restructuring the club's debts. But he will leave early if the right party wants to take over the Gills.

Why do we need to move to a new ground? We can't fill the one we do have and the debts are mainly down to trying to provide the current venue with facilities which would tide the club through - ie tops conference rooms and a new club bar. The are not tiding us through. And if we move, how are half of the Medway Towns gonna get to the ground? The beauty of Priestfield is that its a scoot away from the station. Move it to some out of town site and even fewer youngsters or London dwellers will bother to go...
Keep it local. Use some imagination to fill the ground we do have and then use the cash to buy some players - worry about a new site when we are on the cusp of the Premiership...grrr.

Team news for later... Jackman out (suspended following red at Donny) Sanchos (Grent) late fitness test. And needless to say Millwall are likely to field our ex-hero Darren Byfield. Let's hope he can't be bothered to score!! We'll show em whose got Real Talent, Real Passion and Real Football!

UTG!
