Its Toby (the tall lanky Gills fan) here.
I just want to say thank you for your hospitality on Saturday. Made the trip a really good one. You certainly are a great bunch of fans, definitely the nicest I've met. How many places could you go to and play football with some local fans, be invited into the home fans bar and then have a beer bought for you? Unfortunately not many. We were planning on arriving at our B&B in Wigan (the £15 was a bargain we couldn't refuse) at 7, we didn't get there till 10:30 which shows you how welcome we were made to feel.
Would I be correct in guessing that we were the first away fans to have the pleasure of entering the Globe Bar. If true it'll be a nice thing for us to be able to say.
I think I may have to make Morecambe my second team in league now. Would be great to get to come up to you again next season, preferably in League One! Who knows, we could get you in the FA Cup or something.
If you come down in April we will try to offer the same hospitality, but I highly doubt Gillingham could ever be as friendly as Morecambe. Bring the kids down too, a rematch is needed.
At this level the fans are the football club and I'm sure Rob, Sherif and I will agree that Morecambe is a great club.
Good luck for the rest of the season, especially against Barnet (even if you have a good relationship, we cant stand their manager).
Thanks one again.
