The electronic postbag reveals a fascinating piece of football history about Gillingham chairman Paul Scally's savvy business move. After the Millennium Dome closed, Scally purchased £7 million worth of fixtures for just £750,000, including a 1.5 million play area that became an indoor training centre.
