Gillingham manager Mark Bonner looks ahead to their midweek League 2 match against Bromley at Hayes Lane

Gillingham manager Mark Bonner hopes their away support helps drive them on at Bromley tonight.

The Gills have sold out their ticket allocation at Hayes Lane for Wednesday night’s League 2 clash in what will be the first meeting between the sides in the Football League.

It means the Gills will have 515 supporters cheering them on from the seats in the North Stand and the East Terrace. It’s likely they’ll have fans elsewhere for an away fixture that’s within easy reach.

The club will be showing the game live from the Factory Bar at Priestfield, with doors open for over-18s from 6pm.

Those at the match will have a part to play with manager Mark Bonner saying: “We're looking forward to it and hopefully there'll be an atmosphere that will really drive the players and we can get back on a winning run.

“Us selling out our tickets was a given, really. We could have sold out a few times with the amount of demand for people who wanted to come and watch it.

“Hopefully those that are there make a right noise and get right behind the team, and the team can give a performance that gives us a real chance of winning the game.

“I think it'll be an exciting game, just because it's a real local derby. We've had a big derby with the Swindon game, but this is more of a traditional derby.

“I think the location of the game always adds an edge to the game, which is really good. Having been there before to see games, knowing what the atmosphere will be like, how tight it will be, I think it'll be a really lively atmosphere, which will be brilliant.

“Those games are great because the atmosphere looks after itself. There's always a bit more edge and intensity to the game. They had a brilliant season last season and they're equipping themselves
