Priestfield Ground, the home of Gillingham Football Club. The original Royal Engineers 1st eleven played the first game at this site as Brompton FC against Woolwich Arsenal Reserves on the 2nd Sept 1893. They became Gillingham FC in 1913. The original structure comprised a wooden pavillion and stand built on the Redfern Road side in 1893. A second stand was added on the Gorden Road side in 1899 to segregate dockers and soldiers. These stands remained until demolished in 1985; they were the oldest in senior British football. A new main stand was constructed in 1914, terracing expanded in 1920s, a pitch side wall built in 1955 and floodlighting installed in 1967.
