Here we go again.
As I've mentioned on numerous occasions, not only is there not one decent football stadium in Kent there isn't even a decent sports stadium. Be it Rugby, Cricket or athletics. Kent County Coucil should be ashamed of its self. Kent is the second biggest county in England and Priestfield Stadium is the best it can do. And don't insult me by mentioning Kent Cricket grounds which are also all pathetic and can't even support international matches.
Why oh why can't the people of the Medway towns and the local council get behind the building of a new super football stadium for the Gills..
They should be proud they have a football league club in the area and all the news coverage it brings. Goodness me the towns hasn't got a lot of other things going for it.
As has been mentioned before Brighton, Reading, MK Dons, Swansea and others have proved it works.
It's strange that we didn't read about any objections when they built the dozens and dozens of houses on the othe side of the road in Grange Road. Obviously the so called council thought that was ok.
Not only would the new stadium bring in much needed revenue to the area, especially if its multi purpose, but also help to maybe one day put a Premier league football club in Kent.
Medway Coucil is too complacent by half, no wonder Rochester lost its City Status.
Medway Coucil should wake up and support Paul Scally, a new Stadium and look to the benefits it brings.

Simple, move the football club away from medway and put it somewhere where it will be appreciated, sittingbourne or somewhere, i don't know, makes me laugh, a 400 strong petition from a place with hundreds of thousands of people living in it. of course you can't please all of the people all of the time but it is just silly now.

This close to an election nobody will put their flags to the mast and support, let's see what happens in a month or so.
