Gillingham fans are definitely up for the Cup, queuing for up to
two hours for tickets for next month's clash with Premier League
side Stoke.

Hundreds of fans have been waiting outside Priestfield,
desperate to get their hands on tickets for the third round FA Cup
tie.

The club's ticket hotline has also been swamped with
enquiries.

Next month's game marks the first time a team from football's
top tier has played at Priestfield since Blackburn Rovers in the
Carling Cup more than two years ago – a game Gillingham
lost 3-1.

The Gills were drawn against The Potters after beating Leyton
Orient 1-0 in the second round and coming through a first round
replay against Bournemouth 3-2.

Tickets for Stoke game went on sale this morning to season
ticket holders and fans with tickets for this weekend's match
against Bristol Rovers.

The remaining tickets go on sale at 9am on Wednesday.
