Gills - just four days to go
Comments |
There will be more Gills fans at Wembley on
Saturday than for the entire attendance at last year's League
Two play-off final.
With just a few thousands of the club's allocation
remaining, officials are confident of selling all the tickets,
outstripping last season's final between Rochdale and Stockport,
which attracted 35,000 in total.
With 38,000 Gills fans travelling
up for the vital Shrewsbury showdown, transport links could be
busier than ever.
In response, Southeastern have
confirmed they will be putting on extra carriages and doubling the
size of most services from Medway's stations.
A spokesman confirmed it was also
looking into an additional service for the fans' return
journey.
In addition, The Kings Ferry are
providing more than 40 coaches for the day and are
contracted to the club.
Each coach can take between 49
and 53 meaning they could be transporting more than 2,000
supporters to the game.
Ian Fraser, operations director,
said: "It depends on the number of seats the club can sell, if they
want more we will provide them."
As the excitement continues to
build, stay here for the latest update and don't miss the
Medway Messenger this Friday with our special 16-page Gills final
pullout.
