If you just cheated on your hubby with a priest, and feel guilty, imagine how the Priestfield.
First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I have to admit, the crowd, the stadium, the match I saw (ended 0-0), and the entire day was just average. It was 2007 when I saw a game here with my friend from Brighton, and neither of us were left raring to come to another Gillingham game. Very tepid, really. Not sure if it's always like this, but when I've seen them away from home the away fans have never been too rabid either.
Still it's a good facility and scores a solid 3.
I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia!

This is a pretty average stadium in the midst of housing in the midst of Kent, and it's not the most atmospheric or intense stadium but at least it has stayed loyal to its roots and been there for a long time. It's half a mile from the stadium and has pretty decent facilities.
Priest Holmes is a regular here. So is Jason Priestley. And Maxi Priest. Who just wants to be close to you. And do all the things you want him to. read more
