Gillingham taking mainly a youth side to Rams

[Gate Watcher]

From the Gills official site.

 

Mainly youth players with one or two young pros that hardly anyone has heard of.

bit like when we played Millwall then.

Didnt see all the game but it looked like all young kids out there for the Gills. Final score 0-0. Again a typical friendly though again the continued forward thrust by Ramsgate has to be admired. Will this "gung ho" attitude be their downfall this season? Its good to watch though. Ryan Bernard impresses at the back. Reminds me a lot of Tony Dixon. Ramsgate finished a bit weary I thought but they had the better chances.I would say there were approx 250 up there tonight.

Did not take you long eh? 469 at the 'wood.

[Gate Watcher]

A significant number of which were probably Gillingham fans. See Ramsgate put out the best side they could for this match too. Will be interesting when they come up against sides that will hit them hard if they just pile forward. Many teams will hurt them like that.

Should not really comment unless you went should you?

There was never in a million years 469 there Rob. Ridiuculous figure but then again its just another wind up from you we know. Again,approx 250 possibly 300 max.

Sorry I didnt think I was supposed to wait to report on what I saw.I thought I was very fair with my comments too.If there were indeed 469 there must have been 200 in the bar & ignoring the football.If that were the case then my apologies FF.

[Rob_Butler]

Lets wait an see then untill website is updated. But the stand was full, and alot of kids that may have made the gate look smaller than what it really was.

[Cookie]

Fair enough but I still think your figure is an exaggeration.Ramsgate dont have that many people who visit Southwood.

[ButlerMFC]

The Game ended 0-0 apparently a bornig game! (from the mouth of a ramsgate fan)

[Cookie]

Just got the true figure in from ramsgates attendance. FF, both you & I were wrong, though you admittedly were closer. It was actually 49.6. You forgot to include the " decimal point".

They put you down as the .9 as you're not all there.

l.o.l.

[Gate Watcher]

As FF is saying if there were a lot of kids at Deadwood then they were probably mostly youth team players in which case they would get in free. You won't see them with their parents on a cold grey Saturday afternoon.

 

I would again say that Gills supporters made up around 100 or possibly more. I know of about a dozen Gills fans personally who went that don't wear colours and you wouldnt know them to look at from any other casual football fan. They wouldnt have gone had Ramsgate been playing anyone else.

 

Rob don't tell me what I can and can't comment on. This is the Margate forum not the FF forum.

Rams website updated, wrong you are Cookie

Who cares, the only time i will think about the scum is when we play them.

These anti Ramsgate comments put me right off this forum.Why Margate fans are so interested in coming out with all this rubbish about our much smaller neighbouring club beats me...A lot of people in Ramsgate support both clubs and the chants also put people off attending Hartsdown.

[Gringo]

Take a look on the Rams forum the one with more than 1 postee. Might change the colour of your rose tinted specs.

I agree we should call a truce & stop this negativity towards each other. It would be good for both Clubs to have a neighbour who is a healthy rivalry (it has not done any harm to the Premier teams of Liverpool/Manchester/North London).
It should or maybe should not be noted that the 'internet rivalry' was intiated by a 'reds' fan who insists on having an opinion on everything & inflicts this no matter how ill-informed he is.
Perhaps if we refrain from commenting [negatively] about each others performance, support etc. until the week of our Derby Matches then this forum would make more pleasant reading.

Superblues i seriouly suggest you listen to the chants that Tottenham, Arsnal, Liverpool, Man Utd, Man City, Millwall, West Ham and Chelsea sing about their rivals as it is all about hatred towards eachother. Also number6 we very rarely sing songs about Ramsgate especially in the second half of last season. I went to watch Ramsgate one week last season and Ramsgate sang nothing but negative songs about Margate.

Look if you dont like it goodbye, Margate is a family club Ramsgate has a reputation for giving attitude. They are the most hated club past Dover, answer that. Sorry its all Margate's fault isnt it as we allways cause agro.
