They were voted out of the league in favour of Ipswich Town at the end of the 1937–38 season, but returned to it 12 years later after it was expanded from 88 to 92 clubs. Twice in the late 1980s they came close to winning promotion to the second tier of English football, but a decline then set in and in 1993 they narrowly avoided relegation to the Football Conference.

The official announcement of the club's change of name in 1913.

In May 1893, the local success of a junior football side, Chatham Excelsior F.C., encouraged a group of businessmen to meet with a view to creating a football club which could compete in larger competitions.[4] New Brompton F.C. was formed from the meeting, incorporating a number of Excelsior players. The gentlemen also purchased the plot of land which would later become Priestfield Stadium.[5] The new club played its first match on 2 September 1893, losing 1-5 to Woolwich Arsenal's reserve side in front of a crowd of 2,000.[6] New Brompton were among the founder members of the Southern League upon its creation in 1894, and were placed in Division Two. They were named Champions in the first season (1894–95) going on to defeat Swindon Town in a test match to win promotion.[7] Image File history File links Size of this preview: 367 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (1453 × 2374 pixel, file size: 302 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)Press release announcing the change of name of New Brompton F.C. to Gillingham F.C., used to illustrate that point within the clubs article...

In the seasons that followed, the club struggled in Division One, finishing bottom in the 1907–08 season,[3] avoiding relegation only due to expansion of the league. Whilst the club's league performance was disappointing, the side did manage a famous cup victory over Football League First Division Sunderland and held Manchester City to a draw before losing in the replay.[8] In 1913 the club renamed itself Gillingham F.C.[9] but performances remained disappointing. The team finished bottom of Division One in the 1919–20 season but for a third time avoided relegation, due to the subsequent elevation of all Southern League Division One clubs to form the new Football League Division Three.[10] The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. ...

First spell in the Football League

In the first season of the newly-created Football League Division Three, the 1920–21 season, Gillingham again finished bottom, and in the years to follow there was little improvement on this, the club continually finishing in the lower reaches of the bottom division. In 1938 the team finished bottom of the Third Division (South) and were required to apply for re-election for the fifth time since joining the league. This bid for re-election failed, with Gillingham returning to the Southern League and Ipswich Town being promoted in their place.[11] Gillingham quickly established themselves as one of the stronger sides in the league, winning a local double of the Kent League and Kent Senior Cup in the 1945–46 season.[11] In the 1946–47 season the team won both the Southern League Cup and the Southern League championship, during which they recorded a club record 12-1 victory over Gloucester City.[12] The Gills also won the league title in 1948–49.[13] The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. ...

Return to the Football League

In 1950 plans were announced to expand the Football League Division Three (South) from 22 to 24 teams and, taking into account their local success in the interim, Gillingham were re-elected to the Football League with a landslide vote.[13] The team spent eight seasons in Division Three (South) before the restructuring of the league system for the 1958–59 season saw them placed in the newly-created Fourth Division. They remained in this division until 1964, when manager Freddie Cox led them to promotion, winning the first and so far only championship in the club's history. The team finished the season level on 60 points with Carlisle United, but with a better goal average (1.967 against 1.948), which was the tightest league title finish in Football League history.[14] The following are the football (soccer) events of the year 1950 throughout the world. ...

After relegation back to the Fourth Division in 1970–71, the Gills were soon promoted back to the Third Division in the 1973–74 season.[15] After this the club seemed to find its level in Division Three, regularly mounting a challenge for promotion which ultimately fell short each time, never more so than in 1986–87 when they reached the play-offs only to lose in the final to Swindon Town.[16] During this period the club produced future stars Steve Bruce and Tony Cascarino, who was famously bought from non-league Crockenhill in exchange for a set of tracksuits.[17] // First Division Arsenal won the league championship at the end of a season which would soon be followed by their FA Cup final tie with Liverpool. ...

In 1987 the Gills hit the headlines when, on consecutive Saturdays, they beat Southend United 8-1 and Chesterfield 10-0, the latter a club record for a Football League match. Just a few months later, however, manager Keith Peacock was controversially sacked[18] and within 18 months the club had fallen into Division Four.[16] The ensuing spell in the lower division brought little success, and in the 1992–93 Division Three campaign the Gills narrowly avoided relegation to the Football Conference.[16] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Recent highs and lows

Beset with financial problems, the club went into administration in January 1995, and by the end of the 1994–95 season faced the threat of being expelled from the Football League and closed down.[16] In June 1995, however, a London-based businessman, Paul Scally, stepped in and bought the club for £1.[19] He brought in new manager Tony Pulis, who led Gillingham to promotion in his first season, finishing second in the old Division Three (now Football League Two).[3] In 1999 the Gills made the play-offs but lost in the Division Two play-off final to Manchester City. The Gills were 2-0 up with less than two minutes left only to see City score twice, the equaliser in injury time, and go on to win 3-1 in a penalty shoot-out.[20] The 1994-1995 season was the 115th season of competitive football in England. ...

Soon after the play-off loss, Pulis was sacked for gross misconduct,[21] and Peter Taylor appointed manager.[22] In the 1999–00 season Gillingham qualified for the play-offs again, where they faced Wigan Athletic in the final at Wembley Stadium. The game finished 1-1 after 90 minutes, but, thanks to goals in extra time from substitutes Steve Butler and Andy Thomson, the Gills won 3-2 and were promoted to Division One for the first time.[20] Image File history File linksMetadata Size of this preview: 800 × 600 pixelsFull resolution (1024 × 768 pixel, file size: 149 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) I, the creator of this work, hereby release it into the public domain. ...

Hessenthaler resigned as manager in November 2004,[24] and new boss Stan Ternent[25] was unable to prevent the Gills' relegation to League One.

The Gills have played at Priestfield Stadium throughout their existence.[28] The ground was originally purchased by the founders of the club through an issue of 1,500 £1 shares.[5] Sources differ on whether the ground was named after the road on which the land stood, Priestfield Road,[5] or whether the road was named after the ground;[29] if the latter is the case then the origin of the ground's name is unknown. The ground was extensively developed prior to the 1930s, but there was then little change until the late 1990s and the arrival of Paul Scally as chairman. Three of the four stands were demolished and rebuilt between 1995 and 2000. The fourth stand, known as the Town End, was demolished to make way for a new stand, to be named the Brian Moore Stand after television sports commentator Brian Moore, who was a well-known Gills fan, but the club's financial situation has not allowed the new stand to be built and a temporary stand has been in place since 2004.[30] On 1 June 2007 the stadium was officially renamed krbs Priestfield Stadium as part of a new sponsorship deal with the Kent Reliance Building Society.[31] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

New Brompton's original kit in 1893

Although Gillingham have long been associated with the colours blue and white, the original New Brompton side wore a strip consisting of black and white striped shirts with black shorts.[5] With the renaming of the club in 1913, the black and white strip was dropped in favour of red shirts with blue sleeves,[34] emblazoned with the borough's coat of arms. The striped shirts returned after World War One, before finally being replaced with the now-familiar combination of plain blue shirts and white shorts in 1931.[34] Image File history File links Kit_left_arm_black_stripes. ... kit_body. ...

More recent years have seen several variations on the blue and white colour scheme. Several late 1990s strips featured blue and black striped shirts, recalling the original New Brompton stripes.[34]


In the summer of 2003 it was controversially announced that the club's first choice shirts for the following season would be predominantly white, rather than blue.[35] The announcement received such a hostile response from supporters that the white strip was replaced by one featuring blue and black hoops, which had originally been earmarked as the team's third choice kit.[36]

Prior to 1992 the club's crest was simply a portion of the county arms of Kent.
Prior to 1992 the club's crest was simply a portion of the county arms of Kent.

The club's current crest is a shield divided vertically into halves of black and white stripes and solid blue, reflecting the club's original and modern kits. On the blue half is the county emblem of Kent, a white horse rampant, albeit slightly altered from its normal form as its mane is stylised into the letters of the word "Gills". The club's motto, which appears on a scroll below the crest, is "Domus clamantium", the Latin for "the home of the shouting men",[37] an epithet associated with the town of Gillingham for several hundred years.[38] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Rivalries

The closest League team is Southend United, across the mouth of the River Thames.

Millwall are currently considered to be the closest the Gills have to local rivals.[1] Swindon Town are seen by many fans as the club's biggest rivals, stemming from bad-tempered matches between the two teams in 1979 and 1987.[67] While Swindon fans generally do not consider Gillingham their biggest rivals, there was violence when they met at Priestfield in the 2005–06 season, their first meeting since a promotion play-off match in 1987.[68] Following their promotion in 1989, Maidstone United became Kent's second League side.
