Gillingham

[Ron Sheepskin]

I know, I know, but even they can produce a nice thing sometimes:

When the chips are down, sometimes you need a little bit of kindness to make everything seem all right.

And when you're one of 28 frozen Accrington Stanley fans who have seen their team end up on the wrong end of a 1-0 defeat a long way from home, anything will do.

Enter Gillingham chairman Paul Scally, who had just watched his men emerge victorious courtesy of Matt Fish's first-half stunner yesterday, strengthening their lead at the top of League Two.

While the small but perfectly-formed band of Accrington followers shivered in the away end, Scally decided to take pity on them and offer them all burger and chips each – on the club.

No reports yet on whether that was washed down by a glass of milk. Accrington Stanley? Who are they?? Well, thanks to Scally's intervention, they are certainly better known in the Medway area now. Every little helps.

I would have refused it it was from Scally. Must have been dodgy...

Good to see Matt Fish doing well though.. One of the legendary back four for Dover back in the day (A Fulham fan was also part of that defence)...

Scally obviously had a surplus of horse meat to dispose of  :016:
