Gillingham v Rochdale
Play off Semi Final Second leg
Sunday 10th May 2009. Kick off 6.30pm

Leave the M2 at Junction 4 and take the A278 towards Gillingham, going straight across two roundabouts. At the 3rd roundabout turn left onto the A2 towards Gillingham town centre. At the traffic light junction with the A231, turn right into Nelson Road and passing the small bus station take a right turn into Gillingham Road, the ground is down on your right.

Alternatively at the start of the M2 keep left and follow A289 towards Gillingham. Continue towards Gillingham and go through The Medway Tunnel (Priestfield Stadium is signposted from here). Continue on the A289 ignoring the turn off for Gillingham town centre, until you reach the Strand roundabout after about a mile. Turn right at this roundabout and up the hill and over the level crossing. Take the second left past the level crossing into Linden Road and the ground is along this road on the right.



There is a resident's only parking scheme in operation around the ground, so if you want to street park, this will mean driving a bit further away to do so.We understand that there is a pay and display car park (£1 for 3 hours) on Railway Street near Gillingham station, which is less than 10 mins walk from the ground.

The ground is about a ten minute walk away from Gillingham railway station, which is served by trains from London Victoria (every 15mins) and Charing Cross (Every 30mins). You need to turn left out of the station and follow the road until you come to a crossroads. Go straight on into Priestfield Road. The visitor's turnstiles are at the far end of Priestfield Road. Allow ten minutes to get from the station and into the ground'.

Fans arriving by official coach will find that the Police will escort the coach to a bus park, a ten minute walk from the ground. To get there, walk from the parking area to the main road, turn left and follow this road until you come to Gillingham Road. Turn right and follow this until you come to the crossroads mentioned above, only this time Priestfield Road is on the left.

Away fans are housed in part of the Brian Moore Stand where around 1,500 supporters can be accommodated. Like last season the stand is of the temporary variety. It is though of a good size and height, plus the views of the playing action are fine. Unlike most temporary stands the facilities are good, being of a permanent nature behind the stand. However it is uncovered, so although the Club hand out free rain macs if it rains, still be prepared to get wet! One unusual aspect of visiting Priestfield Stadium is that away supporters have to walk down a very narrow terraced street to reach the away entrance, or if coming from adjacent streets down very tight alley ways.
