Fans' chance to salute medal winners

GRAVESEND & Northfleet supporters will have the opportunity to salute last season's Ryman League, Premier Division, title winners before Saturday's home friendly with Gillingham.

Fleet fans unable to make the trip to Bedford on the final day of last season, where the club clinched the title, will be able to watch the presentation of medals to the squad before the game (Kick-off 3pm).

"This is the first time that the medals have been presented and it would be marvellous to get a crowd of 1,500 plus at the ground to show their appreciation," said manager Andy Ford. "This is our biggest pre-season game and it would be nice to see a really big crowd inside Stonebridge Road."

Ford will use all his fit players on Saturday but will be without centre-back Francis Duku, who broke an ankle in the pre-season friendly at Wyemouth while midfielder Danny Lye is out for six weeks with damaged knee ligaments.

Gillingham are expected to include Rod Wallace and Tommy Johnson, both their major summer signings.
