⚽ Match Thread vs. Aldershot Town FC 30.04.22 [NL]

Massive chance for Brunt
Is Arter being rested again or is Francis ahead of him?
I think IB might rest Ruben on Monday, but a chance up front to hit the 20 goal mark today. I reckon he will

Gillingham about to be relegated from L1 for the first time since Martin Allen took them up in 2013.
A degree of pay back for them relegating us in 2015. We always seemed to lose there, we were once 2-0 down inside three minutes. Don't think that's ever happened in any other Notts game in my lifetime.

Wigan and Rotherham promoted to the Championship.

Let's hope they visit the City Ground next season!

Some fighting between between Gillingham and Rotherham pitch invaders at the final whistle. The Rotherham coaching staff having pleaded with their fans not to come on just before full time. Glad Rotherham won though and denied MK Dons, who hopefully lose in the play offs.

The first we led 2-0 after 10 minutes and somehow lost 3-2 to unfancied Darwen to end up being relegated for the first time ever.

The 2nd was exactly four weeks after we won the FA Cup, inbetween time playing one outstanding league game which we lost - which meant we had to play 3rd bottom of the 1st tier Preston who had never previously finished lower than 2nd... 3-0 down at HT we lost 4-0.

The 3rd was the most agonising of all, against Derby County in extreme "wretched" weather at Filbert Street. 1-0 up with five minutes remaining, Derby equalise and then net a winner in the last minute.

Great research that!

IIRC Andy Hessenthaler (Dover's current manager) was managing Gillingham at that time. A bit more payback if we can make it six points from Dover this season, although they're down already so it won't smart much.

Just switched on Radio Nottm, now that it's safe to do so.

Early goal for Aldershot.
