BHA v Gillingham Head to Head

Our biggest win over the Gills came just days after a 0-0 draw with them. On 13th April 1932 The Albion drew 0-0 at Gillingham in front of a crowd of 2174, 10 days later at The Goldstone Brighton won 7-0 with goals from Arthur Attwood (4), Dan Kirkwood (2) and Bobby Farrell.

The Albion finished 8th in Division3 (South) that Season. Gillingham finished 21st with only Thames AFC below them.

Thames AFC were formed in 1928. They played two seasons in the Southern League before being elected to the Football League in 1930 in place of Merthyr Town. They finished 20th of 22 clubs in 1930-31, and after coming bottom of the League in this Season they were replaced by Aldershot.

Thames played at the West Ham Greyhound & Speedway Stadium Stadium. Despite its capacity of over 100,000 and being the largest ground in England to regularly host League football, the club holds the record for the lowest attendance for a Football League match. Just 469 fans paid to watch Thames play Luton Town on 6th December 1930.
