The Gills
For Gillingham supporters, the Gills tradition brings together a club founded in 1893, home matchdays at Priestfield Stadium, and the familiar sight of Rainham End and Medway Stand. Milestones such as Fourth Division champions (1963/64) and League Two champions (2012/13) give the present-day club a strong and recognisable sense of history.
