Gillingham suffered yet another away day defeat at Leyton Orient on Tuesday - but they certainly had plenty of excuses.

Huge traffic problems caused by the closure of the Blackwall Tunnel delayed players and supporters.

By 7pm manager Mark Stimson had just seven players to name in his side.

Referee Andy D'Urso refused to delay the kick-off, which forced Stimson to put the first 11 players that turned up in his starting line-up. That initial line-up included two goalkeepers!

Fortunately for the Gills things had improved slightly by kick-off, but regular starters were still missing.

Gillingham's kit also got stranded somewhere between the Blackwall Tunnel and east London as well, so they had to borrow Orient's away strip.
