Gillingham investigating object thrown at Solcombe

Isn't that where the tank is on the beach?

I've heard of Ilfracombe (never been there though). Never imagined there might actually be a place named Solcombe / Salcombe!

I've been to Ilfracombe, there's not much there except a beach wot you can't sit on because of the black rocky "sand".

No that's a place called Torcross which is also near Dartmouth

Ilfracombe is a bit like Mansfield-on-Sea. Definitely much nicer places in the area.

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].

Well i am glad that Gillingahm are taking this seriously, and their club director is right it brings a bad reputation for the club, through the ations off one or several morons, who are thugs not supporters
There is no place in football for these idiots, they must be found, then banned for life

Definately, used to be quite a drugs problem in Ilfracombe. I have a customer there and his shop iused to be broken into regular by the same person who's a user but he knows the blokes dad, madness.

Totally unrelated but Gillingham had a good result winning at Swindon last night which just shows how well we did to win there on Saturday.
