Gillingham chairman buys dinner for 28 travelling Accrington Stanley fans
When the chips are down, sometimes you need a little bit of kindness to make everything seem all right.
And when you’re one of 28 frozen Accrington Stanley fans who have seen their team end up on the wrong end of a 1-0 defeat a long way from home, anything will do.
Enter Gillingham chairman Paul Scally, who had just watched his men emerge victorious courtesy of Matt Fish’s first-half stunner yesterday, strengthening their lead at the top of League Two.
While the small but perfectly-formed band of Accrington followers shivered in the away end, Scally decided to take pity on them and offer them all burger and chips each - on the club.
