As I sit here listening to the list of postponed football games I start to wonder if the Gills game will go ahead tomorrow..!? Frost - the hardened game postponer!! Already 4 of the third round games are off and Five Live who set up in Histon are now pegging it to Kettering for the match there against Eastwood Town. This is the weekend when all names can shine on the radio and TV be it Barrow, Forest Green, Blyth Spartans, Torquay, Chesterfield, Macclesfield, Gillingham - non league and Div Two alike.
For those of you who are not aware - tomorrow at 1.30pm KO at the Priestfield will be for an FAC 3rd round match - Gills v Aston Villa. For those of you not lucky enough to get a ticket you can watch an ITV broadcast which will purport to show you all the match action. Trust me - footie on TV is NEVER the same as being there.... provided of course the pitch isn't frozen!!! This is our game of the season. Very much over looked this year in the draw because of the high numbers of non-league teams in the cup we are still in it.. which after the last few seasons IS a major achievement for us. We need the buzz. The TV cameras etc make no odds to me - its just extra pressure = but I have enjoyed making sure everyone I know is aware!
Some very bad team news though - not only is Barry Fuller out (suspended) but the curse of the Brentford game lives on and Garry Richards has also been handed a 3 match suspension.. watch our season tail slide from here on in - our defensive strength weakened in a stroke. At least the nippy goal scoring hero from Stockport is now permanent with us until end of the season, signing yesterday its a perfect b-d pressie for me for sure, so go on Andy Barcham score another brace and make the Gills fan smile!
You know how I feel....
UP THE GILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
