Scally up to his old tricks?!

Did gillingham help keep Brighton alive?

What's that got to do with anything?

 

[Oscar]

Perhaps they could share ours...

...for a price.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Scally sounds extremely stupid in that article.

 

[Postman Pat]

Tue 25th March 1997 - Gillingham say Brighton must pay them £300,000 rent, even if they abandon plans to ground-share at Priestfield Stadium. Gillingham's chairman, Paul Scally, is adamant his club want the money due under signed contracts.

What do you think?

 

[Fitzcarraldo]

Errrrmmmm no! If anything the opposite.

You're right. Clubs were just queing up to let us groundshare with them after we had lost the Goldstone.

 

[ditchy]

shock statement from Scally !

"We probably do owe them some money but we haven't had any discussion on a payment method in the last six months."

Millwall, Pompey and Crawley to name 3 others. When it came out that Crawley council had done the sums and realised it could be a nice little earner for them Scally still came out and insisted we buy our way out of the contract.

All three of those clubs turned us down and also Woking, the police had something to to do with the first two turning us down
I thought that Gillingham were the only club to accept us but I might be wrong.

Are you suggesting that we turned down the offers to ground share with these other clubs because Gillingham NEEDED us there?

We had already signed with Gillingham but when other closer offers if help came in, Scally was very uncharitable and insisted full payment if we went elsewhere. Kicked us when we were down. Ido not like Gillingham.

They were....at a price....funny that Bellotti was Scallys best man at his wedding.....and Gillingham built a new stand out of our payments.

My sister-in-law worked for Crawley council and said although the council were willing to let the ground share go ahead the Police objected due to Crawley only holding just over 4,000 at the time.

I don't particularly see the problem with this - at least they invested the money back into the club. They got a new stand, our football club survived.

But the clubs didn't turn us down, which was my point. From what I recall Crawley were very keen for us to share there but the council pooh poohed until they dusted of their abacus at which point we'd already signed a deal with Scally and his horrible mob.

Are you suggesting that we turned down the offers to ground share with these other clubs because Gillingham NEEDED us there?

No not in the slightest, but I'm sure the money we paid them as tenants made a reasonable dent into their ground re-developments.

I Wasn't talking to you, I was just asking an honesty question.....I thought gillingham helped out in a time of need, but it seems there are many Brighton fans that don't like gillingham, why?
