For clubs who traditionally wear stripes/hoops, there really isn't a whole lot you can do within that remit for home kits is there? More or less the same every year with the occasional wider/thinner stripe.
That's not what we say here - he's supposed to be a player you thought would be destined for a higher league and the only reason we've got him is that we've tripled his wages.
Nolan completed. Winger and a forward required now.
First XI could look like this now:
Turner
Hutton - Masterson - Ogie - Clark
Nolan - Coleman - Little - Williams
Andrews - Nevitt
Subs from - Morris, Holtam (Youth), McKenzie, Ehmer, Malone (listed), Dieng, Lapslie (listed), Clarke, Nadesan...
Is it just me that isn't as overwhelmed with our signings as a lot of our contemporaries here appear to be? Little appears to be a reasonable one who won't pull up too many trees, and Nevitt had a good goalscoring record at this level last season but little else in his career so far. Nolan I...
Armani Little added, so cross off the midfielder. Nolan apparently almost done from Accrington, plus allegedly looking at Dan Kemp. Just a forward to go after that and we're pretty much done.
Somethings happening tomorrow morning, no idea if it's a signing, another kit reveal or something else. Either way it's going to be an interesting event surrounded by the usual clientele Gillingham High Street attracts on your average weekday morning.

So now our spend includes players we didn't even sign! Of course we must've spent megabucks on Hutton if you were after him, that must be the only explanation. I don't think we need a lecture from a Stockport County direction about spending money though.
That's pretty much how I feel as well, it really doesn't seem like a huge outlay in the grand scheme of things. Apparently because we can offer wages that are higher than Crewe and Accrington (with their notorious big wage budgets) we're spending ridiculous sums though, which just is a bizarre...
We spent more than we wanted to in 22/23 because if we hadn't we were down. Bear in mind for first 5 months of that season our budget was probably somewhere mid level in the National League and it showed on the pitch. I don't think many outside looking in realised how far up shit creek we'd...
Nothing confirmed yet of course, but seems a good option. Signing League Two players from Crewe and Accrington doesn't exactly make us Man City, but it's nice to see we're finally (after about a decade of gradual decline) looking to spend a few quid to get back to League One where most of us...
Kent Police charge a ridiculous amount if that fixture ever gets played (a couple of Kent Senior Cup fixtures in 35 years), so it's really not worth the hassle.
