Or: Stones 22% possession, 2 shots, 0 corners, 5 fouls - but 2 goalsIpswich 78% possession, 38 shots (13 on target), 11 corners, 8 fouls - but just 1 goalWho needs possession, corners or shots on goal, when you just score more goals?! I remember Basingstoke away when we won 1-0 and didn't have any shots on goal. Watched the highlights of that a while ago. They weren’t much better than us. If that was the highlights it must have been a dreadful game. |

£120,000 prize money for beating Ipswich. Maybe £650,000 now, plus whatever the next round brings. Fag packet reckoning or not, we should notice some capital projects other than the pitch and the scaffolding (which Ive not yet seen but should do on Tuesday) £650k should buy a fair bit of Capital Project- I think the Genco cost £750k I'd most like to see new/refurbished toilets at the TE! And the river side stand would be nice. But, if we get enough to afford it, a Genco-style Town End would be top of my list - a home Kop. But what to call it - the Elokobi Stand, the 2024 stand? |

Anyone on here in the home seats yesterday? I was too busy celebrating the goals to check if anyone outed themselves at that moment, but it must have been almost impossible not to!
I went to the Gills v Leeds Cup game many years ago with a Leeds supporting mate. We stood in the old Gordon Road stand, surrounded by Gills - and in those days you did not want to be an away fan in the home end!
He behaved himself very well for the first two goals, but, on the third one, he couldn't contain himself. I looked around in trepidation - we were mid-stand, so there was no easy way out - but luckily the Gills fans were too pissed off with their side's performance by then to care. Pretty scary moment though...

I like the plans for the town end stand. A 2 tier stand. Would be good to have the lower part like the Genco (standing) and the upper tier seated for people who want to sit and have a great view.

The stewards let us through into the home end towards the end so we could celebrate properly - lovely touch! |

I haven't seen anything about the bloke who fell from the upper stand on here - anyone know what happened and if he's OK???

There's plenty of clubs where they would have just thrown you out - if the fans hadn't got to you first! |

I think they knew we were no harm and only wanted to see the game. There was even a guy in a Maidstone shirt, hat and scarf in our section and nobody really seemed to care. |

Walked back into town with one of their Stewards. Nothing but compliments from him.

Our steward was great. Several people thanked her when leaving.

How times have changed (very much for the better) - for the Sheffield Utd game we had a police escort to the game and were caged in on the terrace (and kept back until all the home fans had gone).
