BORO PROGRAMME PREVIEW

We bring you a sneak preview of tomorrow's matchday magazine

To celebrate 100 years since New Brompton FC changed their name to Gillingham Football Club we’ve given this season’s programme a retro feel. 


For each home game our designer Paul Turvey is producing a unique cover, putting his spin on a classic issue from the Gills first hundred seasons. 


For the visit of Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup, we’ve dug deep into the archive with tomorrow’s cover being inspired by our programme from the 1952-53 campaign.

 

The centenary celebrations continue inside as Chris Lynham looks back at a classic League Cup tie against Bury as Priestfield switched on the floodlights for the very first time. Eddie Allcorn charts the fall and rise of the Boro and Nigel Clark takes an affectionate look at our visitor’s former home Ayresome Park.

 

Back to the present and we bring you the exclusive thoughts of Chairman Paul Scally and Gills Manager Martin Allen.

 

Plus we've got the best of the action from our opening day defeat of Bradford City and Phill Catterick interviews Gills new No. 2 John Schofield.

 

All this and much, much more, all for just £2.00. So pick up your matchday magazine at the GFC Megastore and from sellers all around the ground.
