Gillingham investigating object thrown at Solcombe

[Oldstripy]

The club's Director of Operations, Joe Comper. is appealing for information following an incident during Saturday's home fixture against Notts County.

Once again, we find ourselves investigating an incident which reflects poorly on the Football Club, and will likely land us in trouble with the Football authorities.

Towards the end of today’s game, objects have been thrown onto the pitch from the Rainham End, at least one of which appears to have struck the opposition goalkeeper. Quite clearly, any right-minded person can understand that this is not acceptable, and it won’t be accepted at Priestfield.

Our investigation is underway and we are working closely with Kent Police to identify the culprit/s, in order for us to impose any necessary bans, as well as pursuing criminal prosecutions.



The fanbase here at Gillingham is truly fantastic. You are passionate, loyal and devoted to the team and those that represent your shirt. It is a shame that the actions of a very small minority risk damaging your club in the form of heavy fines and potentially points deductions.

If anyone has any information that can assist us in finding these individuals, I ask that you email me directly at [email protected].

Presume he needed a stitch or two.
I think Sam is a bleddy first rate professional. He and JOB take a lot of stick yet never stop trying.
Sure they're unlikely to improve now as they've aged but their attitude is fantastic just the same.
They both had great games yesterday and more than paid back the faith Luke put in them

Really hope they find those responsible and ban them for life. I've never forgotten a caller to 606 early 90s who lost the sight in one eye due to coin being thrown into the away end when he was following England.

Solcombe

A small picturesque seaside town in Devon with a questionable reputation for high annual sunshine hours.
