Supporters are flooding back to Gillingham as the club closes in on their best-ever season ticket sales. Around 3,000 fans have already snapped up their seats for a highly-anticipated 2023/24 campaign where the Gills hope to be challenging at the top end of League 2.
They have already sold more tickets than in any other season during the past decade. With new faces in the team since January, the club banished relegation fears in some style to become one of the leading sides in the division over the second half of the season.
With a fresh recruitment drive in the summer window, targeting a handful of quality additions, the Gills should be set up to give promotion a real shot.
New director of operations at Priestfield, Joe Comper, is thrilled at the interest levels from supporters - and is hoping to drive those season-ticket sales to record levels. “They are the highest in 10 years which is great,” he said. “They are 34% up on last year’s figures, which is fantastic, and internally we are striving for the record.
