Hi Matt, a few of us Chats fans used to support Gills and we used to go to Welling a lot when Gills weren't playing or were away. Two of us saw their cup run in the 89/90 including those Gills games (the game at Park View Road was a replay). When the winning Welling goal went in you can see Jason and I politely clapping whilst stood amongst the Gills fans. I think it was the same season, Welling ended up losing at home to Blackburn in the 3rd round, unless it was the season before. Heady days indeed.
Was there last Saturday nice lovely ground . Don’t know if you saw the scores yesterday Matt but I witnessed a village team bishop cleeve beat Torquay!! Keep up the good work 👍
Bishops Cleeve are in the Pitching In Southern League Division 1 South same league as my team Shaftesbury. They are a decent side and Kayte Lane has modern facilities. We put a lot of effort into our small clubs and hard work.
Matt I usually attempt to count Chats' away following. I couldn't yesterday as I lost my glasses somewhere in the ground. They were in my pocket as it was shades weather. I spent from half time until about 25 minutes from the end walking round the ground retracing my steps trying to find them. I'd estimate 150-200 Chats yesterday. A brilliant, but expensive (for me), day out!!!! Oh and the curried goat and rice in the ground was the best football ground food I have had in ages.
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 I've got an appointment at an optician in Chatham at lunchtime today (Monday). Looking forward to not having to wear 15 year old glasses and 6 year old shades. Happy to comment. I enjoy your videos, especially because of your lack of clickbait.
thanks for that Winnie. I have a lot of affection for Welling United as I used to watch them a fair bit in the late 80s and early 90s. Good luck for the rest of your season. Chats all the way for me now.
Was there today as well. Could easily have had another 2 to 3 by the end. Up the Chats! BTW was also at the Welling v Gills FA Cup match you mentioned. Gills lost 1-0
Looks a really nice ground …but don’t they sell Mars bars and coke 😉🤔🤔 Looking forward to the Gills / Notts C game vid next week …should be a good game
These kent teams are doing well in the fa cup ashford chatham ramsgate margate herne bay Sittingbourne and maidstone all in the 3rd qualifying round.probably missed a few out
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 Well, how else could you explain "Gills", "Chats", "Darts" or "Rams" without being simple? You'd have to ask a Welling fan for confirmation.
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 The Chats, The Stones, The Darts, The Wings, The Gate, The Rams, The Fleet, are all contractions of the full name. Only outliers really are Canterbury City. Can't for the life of me work out why...
I tried adding an article from our fanzine winning isn’t everything and tim is correct.And as you can see on our club badge wings on the horse.Enjoyed your video,all the best for the next round.
loving your work
Thanks for your comments and compliments, really appreciate it 👍🏻⚽️
Good video as always Matt. No clickbait just a football video log. Why you are my favourite football RUclipsr. No "limbs" or catchy lines like that.
Really appreciate your comments, I try to be honest and true on the videos, cannot stand the word ‘limbs’ 👍🏻⚽️
I was sitting in the Erith cantilever stand for the game. I must say dear fella a marvelous result for the Chaps.
Good old Chatham Town 👍🏻⚽️

@@MattGFC1977yes was a great result 👍🏻⚽️

Hi mate came across your channel today am a Sheffield United fan
Thanks Andy, not been to Bramble Lane yet for the channel, that will be a trip I am looking forward to 👍🏻⚽️
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 You need to edit that to Bramall Lane or Andy will go off you!
Auto spell in the text box, I reiterate, Bramall Lane 👍🏻

Good old memories, I wonder if there is any footage of this game anywhere?

I did see the scores and noted Torquay being beaten by a team I had never heard of before, what a game to witness 👍🏻 thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️

@@IAMPLEDGE thank you, i don’t use the words pyro, limbs, carnage and aggro on my thumbnails, just try and keep it real 👍🏻⚽️
Great video fella. Great win today.
Thanks Ashley, the win was well deserved, thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️
I'm a welling fan, and we were shocking. Credit to Chatham, and wish them the best luck in the 3rd qr
I was surprised by Welling tbh, however this is a good Chatham side, thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️

Thanks for the confirmation of the Gills defeat back in ‘89 👍🏻 also thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 Jason is one of those I said I watched the Wings with a bit when we weren't on Gills duty.
Looks a really nice ground …but don’t they sell Mars bars and coke 😉🤔🤔

Only cans Jeremy, no bottles 🤷 top of the league clash next week, should be good 👍🏻⚽️
another good one matt agree with you i much prefer grass pitches
Thanks Clive, apparently they are replacing the pitch to an artificial one when they redevelop the ground
I’m a millwall fan but live in Twydall what’s the best stand at Gillingham?
The popular stand is the Rainham End but i prefer the Medway Stand 👍🏻⚽️
18th November 1989
Gillingham 0 - 0 Welling United.
22nd November 1989
Welling United 1 - 0 Gillingham.
10 out of 10 Arthur for the information 👍🏻⚽️
These kent teams are doing well in the fa cup ashford chatham ramsgate margate herne bay Sittingbourne and maidstone all in the 3rd qualifying round.probably missed a few out
Thanks Zac, you can also add Dartford to the list 👍🏻⚽️
Think they are knocking the ground down at the end of next season and building a new one on the same site
@smithsRus83 Yes, construction will begin in Summer 2025 on the same ground.
Astro being placed, and new facilities.
Will be different in a few years.
Yes I have just read about it, seems a shame as I liked the ground, however was a tad dated and the club want to progress 👍🏻⚽️
Who's your tip for an FA Cup dark horse?
There are a lot of Kent clubs still in the draw, i tip Tonbridge to win a few more rounds 👍🏻⚽️
7:01 Big Kev's made up.
Haha, good old big Kev 👍🏻⚽️
Take the "ell" out of Welling and you get "Wing". Would that be why they're The Wings?
That seems far too simple Tim, maybe that is it?? 👍🏻⚽️

@@timharrison2076they should then be called the Wells or the ings??! 👍🏻⚽️
Coke & Mars ? 😁
No bottles of coke, just cans 👍🏻⚽️
I'd say welling are bigger than chatham, if chatham get up to the national league south I'd say chatham are bigger though
I think that is fair, Chatham need to prove themselves at a higher level 👍🏻⚽️
Welling are called the wings, because there badge is a Kent Invicta with Wings!
Have a look Matt.
Thanks Tony, but why are there wings on the horse, what is the back story?
@@mattthegroundhopper9242 I suspect the nickname came before the badge.
think they beat gillingham and played blackburn at home next round and lost at home 1 0
Good old Gills losing in ‘89, they were going through a poor patch at the end of the 80’s and into the early 90’s, thanks for your comments 👍🏻⚽️
Come on you chats
