Manager Mark Stimson is excited by the
challenges that could lie ahead in League 1
by Luke Cawdell
Gillingham manager Mark Stimson believes the incentive of
playing big games in League 1 gives the club strong motivation to
win promotion from the play-offs.
If successful at Wembley on May 23, the Gills
would play Norwich, Southampton and Charlton next season, along
with other teams in the southern half of the country, such as
Brighton, Brentford, Wycombe, Swindon and Southend.
Stimson said: “It would be fantastic to be
promoted after last year’s nightmare and for the club it can be the
start of something really good.
“That league next year is like the Southern
League and there are so many local games that attendances would
shoot right up.
“If we get people in the stadium then that
gives me more money to go and buy maybe a different type of player
and that can only take the club forward.
“Whatever does happen, the club is going in
the right direction and we just need to win that game.”
