Gillingham know a win at York City on Tuesday night will see them leapfrog Port Vale at the top of League 2
by Luke Cawdell
Gillingham will return to the top of the table in League 2
with a win at York on Tuesday night.
Leaders Port Vale were held to a draw by Barnet on Saturday
and that has opened the door for Martin Allen’s side to recapture
top spot.
But for Allen (pictured) it’s of little concern and he
insists he has no interest in what else is going on in the
division.
He said: “I didn’t even know who Port Vale played. I just focus
on our players, our training, our team, our staff and our club. I
don’t care how they get on – I haven’t got the slightest
interest.
“I get asked every week about the league table and even when we
were top of the league and clear.”
“We would prepare exactly the same way whatever the result on
Saturday. I certainly wasn’t rushing off to the hotel to pop some
champagne. If we hadn’t won I wouldn’t have been hiding in a dark
room with the curtains pulled.
“It was lovely to see our supporters happy on Saturday because
there is nothing worse than losing at home like we did on
Monday.”
