Well, the tuktuk tour might be over but football continues unabated! I have spoken to both Christian (above) and Darren who provided vlogs every week last season and they have kindly agreed to continue. You can look forward to their excellent input on a regular basis. In fact, they have both already been out this summer and you can see their first instalments here and here.

Darren was also at Brackley Town which is a name that strikes fear in every Gillingham fan as we seem to reserve our worst possible FA Cup performances for trips to Northamptonshire.

FC Deportivo Galicia’s league season started in the worst possible way. After six hugely encouraging pre-season games, we somehow managed to lose 2-1 at home to our friends from Westside. To say it was disappointing would be a massive understatement. We have almost a complete new team, a new focus, lots of activity off the field and we concede a 1-0 lead. Football …that’s why we love it!

Talking about Gillingham, we have a new manager and Steve Clemence has moved on to Barrow. Obviously, I wish him well. Sadly, the results were not as hoped for but we can say that for pretty much every manager over the last 20 years so I thought he might have been given a full season. Football … that’s why we love it.

Gillingham start off at home to relegated Carlisle United this weekend. Promotion for the Gills and FC Deportivo Galicia would be a nice present!
