Gillingham will announce their end of season award winners before Saturday’s game against Fleetwood.

The club have traditionally held an end-of-season award ceremony and one had been planned for the end of the current campaign. It was originally scheduled for the evening after the final game of the season but that has now been scrapped.

The Gills are still in a relegation battle and it could come down to that last fixture, which is away to Northampton, managed by former boss Justin Edinburgh. He was sacked by the Gills in January.

Trophies instead will be handed out to player-of-the-year, the young player-of-the-year and the goal-of-the-season winner before their final home game this weekend. Fans have been asked to be at the ground by 2.30pm.

A club statement said: “After careful consideration, the club has decided to change the format of this year’s awards ceremony.

“Head coach Ady Pennock and the players believe it would be more appropriate to present the awards in front of our loyal fans to reward them for the support they have given throughout the season."

Bradley Dack produced a clean sweep during last year's award ceremony.
