TICKETS for Gillingham's first three home games are now on sale.

Colchester United visit Priestfield for the opening game on Saturday, August 6.

The category AA match kicks off at 3pm.

Bournemouth (category A) visit on Saturday, August 20, for a match that will see the return of former Gillingham midfielder Marcus Browning.

The following Saturday sees the return of Nicky Southall to Priestfield with Nottingham Forest (category AAA).

Gary Megson's side, also relegated from the Championship, are favourites to win League One so this contest should be a good early test for the Gills.

Tickets are available from the Gills ticket office in Redfern Avenue or by calling 01634 300000.

Meanwhile, tickets are currently available for Charlton’s two pre-season Valley friendlies against Dutch side Feyenoord on Wednesday, August 3 (8pm) and Greek outfit AEK Athens on Saturday, August 6 (3pm) online at www.cafc.co.uk or from the ticket office on 020-8333 4010.

Admission is £10 adults and £5 seniors, U18s and U16s at both games, and seats are available in all areas of the ground except for Blocks G and H of the west lower and the west upper.
