Title: Whys there a Swindon v Gillingham Rivalry Post by: Spud on Wednesday, January 4, 2006, 05:48:36 You'll find that most Gills fans would sooner get the bus to Charlton. :mrgreen:

You havnt got no firm. You havnt got no firm. No Firm! Title: Whys there a Swindon v Gillingham Rivalry Post by: fatbury on Wednesday, January 4, 2006, 07:52:00 cos last time we played them ... in the play offs when we beat them .. there was a LOT of trouble after all 3 games .. :-))(
Title: Whys there a Swindon v Gillingham Rivalry Post by: sheepshagger on Wednesday, January 4, 2006, 08:43:03 Fatbury - it doesn't have anything to do with the playoffs...
It goes MUCH further back than that.... It all kicked off in '79 (i think) when there was trouble with the players at the County Ground. Ray McHale was involved for us - ended up with 2 Gills players in court on the Monday following the game !! The playoffs were just another excuse for them to get beaten again by us !!

A couple of interesting articles on the Gillingham mad website. Boils down to defeats, having fences erected at priestfield and having players arrested on assault charges. Title: Whys there a Swindon v Gillingham Rivalry Post by: Bennett on Wednesday, January 4, 2006, 09:47:06 pathetic! do all gills fans need to have the intellect of 3 year olds?
Title: Whys there a Swindon v Gillingham Rivalry Post by: Batch on Wednesday, January 4, 2006, 10:14:35 The real question is why do they STILL hate us.
The simple answer is when you live in pikeyland there is nothing better to do. No local team to hate. Life is shit. Focusing on hating us somehow detracts from the tedium and gives their life purpose. Personally I hate lots of teams more than the Gills. Most of the Northern ones because they are far away. And the Welsh ones for being Welsh. And Brighton for post playof taunting and being bummers. But it is funny seeing them getting wound up about us. Title: Whys there a Swindon v Gillingham Rivalry Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, January 4, 2006, 10:17:35 personally i couldn't give a toss about them but on january the 14th i'll be fucking well up for it.
it's nice to be hated. Title: Whys there a Swindon v Gillingham Rivalry Post by: Johno on Wednesday, January 4, 2006, 16:09:23 it makes gillingham more interesting i guess! can't wait for it now.

I wouldn't say that was particularly shit? Title: Whys there a Swindon v Gillingham Rivalry Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, January 5, 2006, 11:45:28 No idea why they hate us. Lets face it if it was worth hating us over we would probably give something back.
If it is to do with their players going to court then why the hell is it our fault? Their players were the dirty bastards who went to court, not us Town fans! |
