Gillingham chairman Paul Scally has called for a meeting with Kent’s footballing chief after being hit with another fine.

The Gills have been ordered to stump up £4,750 by the Football Association after an incident in the game at Millwall last month. The club were deemed guilty of failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.

Mr Scally, along with manager Justin Edinburgh and three of the club’s players, attended a personal hearing at Wembley on Tuesday afternoon, but their efforts were in vain.

It comes hot on the heels of a £2,500 fine that the FA dished out for the same charge following the dismissal of skipper Doug Loft in the home game against Burton. That game was the week before the Millwall match.

Gills chairman Mr Scally felt the decision to charge his club with wrongdoing in both cases was harsh and wants to meet Barry Bright – who is chairman of both the Kent County Football Association and the Football Regulatory Authority – to discuss recent events.

Mr Bright is a former chief executive of the Gills but club chairman Mr Scally claims he hasn’t heard from him in some time and is keen to meet.

Mr Scally said: “I haven’t heard neither sight nor sound of Barry Bright for around two years. Considering I am his only professional football club in Kent and, wearing his KCFA hat, I am astonished.

“I believe one of his roles as chairman of the KCFA is to support the clubs in his area. He has not been near me while all this turmoil has been going on.

"The chairman of the KCFA, who is responsible for our area, under whom we come as a club, has not even had the courtesy to make contact with me to discuss all my problems with the FA. I have asked my secretary to call him and ask him to come for a meeting.”

Gills chairman Mr Scally pointed to a recent incident in the Premier League and feels his club have been treated unfairly.

He said: “Last Sunday Liverpool played Manchester United and in the 14th minute there was a coming together where the referee was surrounded by eight or nine players, very similar to what happened against Burton, when Doug Loft was pulled over, the referee missed it, then sent him off.

“We got charged for that for surrounding the referee. I was watching along with 50-100 million people or whatever around the world and I ask myself, what is different to that and Burton apart from the millions of people watching? There has been no charge there. Why are we been treated differently?”

Mr Bright was unavailable to comment.
