Gillingham desperate for League 2 game against Rochdale to be played
by Luke Cawdell
Martin Allen and the Gills team are desperate for the game
at Rochdale on Saturday to go ahead.
The Gills are set for an early start on Friday but there
are doubts that the game will go ahead. Snow was covering the
Rochdale pitch in the early part of the week and freezing
conditions are forecast right up until kick-off.
Gillingham are keen to bounce back from last weekend’s 2-1
defeat at home to Port Vale.
"Everyone wants it on without a shadow of a doubt," said Gills
boss Allen. "You can tell everyone wants to play, there is an
edge."
Medway escaped the worst of the wintry weather, enabling Allen’s
men to get in plenty of practice and the Gills boss has been
pleased with the squad’s attitude in training.
He said: "Nobody flinches out of training and for some reason
none of our players seem to have a day off from training. They
always seem to be training, it is rare anybody gets a cold and
doesn’t train. Everyone is always training and that’s a good sign
as well."
