Martin Allen delight as Gillingham go under Sky spotlight against Wycombe Wanders in League 2
by Luke Cawdell
Live football will be beamed from Priestfield on
Monday night and boss Martin Allen believes it’s about
time.
The Gills have sat top of League 2 for most of the season but
until now they have not been chosen for coverage on any of the
sporting channels.
And Allen admitted that the lack of attention from the national
networks was frustrating.
He said: “It’s about time Sky did come down and watch us play.
I’m surprised we are not on Match of the Day and we never get any
credit on the Football League show on a Saturday night.
“We have been top of the league all season and never get any
positive comments from anybody. The players have had no credit at
all. Everyone thought we would be mid-table challenging for the
play-offs.”
He added: “It will be fantastic for our players and fantastic
for Sky.
“I watched Wycombe beat Dagenham last Saturday, they played well
and it will be a good game.
“They play good football and you see we try and play good
football. It should be a good night.”
