Priestfield Stadium away guide

Gillingham away end

Gillingham bring away supporters in through the Gordon Road match control turnstile, and the away accessible toilet is next to match control, so that's the corner to head for. Your block is on the ticket. Disabled supporters are let in 10 minutes before everyone else. The ground is cashless throughout and no outside food or drink comes in.

Priestfield Stadium bag policy

Gillingham advise supporters to avoid bringing large bags and items to MEMS Priestfield Stadium. The club also says supporters should allow time for entry searches.

Checked 27 May 2026 against Gillingham security notice.

Getting to Priestfield Stadium: nearest station

Gillingham station is about a 12-minute walk. Southeastern's High Speed from St Pancras is the quick way at roughly 45 minutes, or 50 to 70 from Victoria, 90 on Thameslink from Blackfriars, and Cannon Street for midweek games. Check your train before you go: the club warn of frequent weekend engineering works and rail replacement buses on this line. Out of the station, turn left onto Balmoral Road and follow it to the end. Driving, the ground is within 15 minutes of M2 junctions 1 and 4, but almost every street around it is permit holders only, including Balmoral, Windsor, Ferndale, Priestfield, Gordon and Redfern. Try the eastern end of Sunnymead Avenue, Chicago Avenue, Canadian Avenue, Valley Road or Sturdee Avenue, or use the Supporters' Club car parks at £5, which are cash only even though the stadium itself is cashless.
