Football mad fans have wished their team luck ahead of their crucial relegation match today.

Gillingham need a positive result to stand a chance of staying in League One, while opponents Rotherham United could win promotion if things go their way.

With both ends of the table up in the air, it is set to be a tense afternoon, but that has not fazed Gills supporters.

The Voice finalist Jamie Johnson, who grew up in the Towns, said: "Wishing the Gillingham team all the luck. We need to go for the win.

"Myself and the whole of Gillingham support you. Come on you Gills."

Phil Gallagher, aka children's TV star Mister Maker, thinks they can survive.

"Best of luck and lots of love to everyone at Gillingham FC for the big match," he said.

"I really believe Neil and the team can do it! But whatever happens, I already can't wait for the start of next season. Up the Gills!"

Lee Clifton, who follows the team home and away, also showed his unwavering support.

He said: "This is it, one match to go, one more 90 minutes left to play.

"One more win may well be enough to keep Gillingham up depending on what happens elsewhere, and one final chance for Gillingham to retain there League One status – COME ON THE GILLS!!!!!!!!!"

There are several permutations of what could happen but the only thing for certain is that if the Gills lose (and assuming Fleetwood do not also lose by a huge scoreline), then they will be playing League Two football next season.

A draw will give them hope, a win could well be enough as Morecambe are not yet safe either, sitting two points ahead of the Gills and up against play-off hopefuls Sunderland on the final day.

Former Gillingham player/manager, Andy Hessenthaler, was in charge of the team back in May 2004 when they drew 0-0 at Stoke on the final day to avoid relegation from the Championship.

He wished them luck ahead of the big day.

Now in charge of Dover, he recalled: "I was player/manager and it was emotional at the end of the game because we did it.

"I remember making some real tough decisions and I remember leaving young Danny Spiller out, he had won player of the year, but I picked a team of real experienced players.

"It is always sometimes dangerous to sit in there and try and get a point, if that is all you need, it can backfire on you but we did it exactly how we wanted it, we worked on it and it worked, I remember leaving Danny out, it was a real experienced team.

"It was very nerve-racking and because of the experience we handled the occasion and we got the result and I remember being in tears at the end of the game.

"It was a big day and let’s hope it happens again at the weekend for Neil Harris and the team and the club, because they are a League 1 club, we want to see them in there.

"I will certainly be looking out for that one before [Dover's] game. I will be cheering them on all the way."

Even local politicians have sent their well wishes ahead of today's game.

Rehman Chishti MP posted online to encourage people to head to Priestfield Stadium to cheer the boys on.

In a video yesterday, club chairman Paul Scally added: "It has been a hard season. We are looking forward to all the fans coming tomorrow, it is the fans that are going to help us tomorrow.

"We want to be positive, get behind the team and we have got one more chance to stay in this division."

Former player Barry Ashby, who made 273 appearances for The Gills, tweeted: "Good luck to all @TheGillsFC today, hopefully get that little bit of luck you need to get all the points, chopper and his staff done a great job since they’ve walked through the door."

Today's match will be screened live on TV.

Kick-off at Priestfield is 12.30pm, along with the rest of League One.
