I believe Welling posted big debts not long ago. They need the money, as do most non league clubs. To be honest, it's a bit on the high side for a friendly, but it helps grass roots football.
Gillingham have had a big player turnover this close season (so far) .. I won't be there .. it'll be interesting hearing how the Gills are shaping up from those who do go
Compares with £10 (£5 concessions) for Dartford v Charlton. Which is the better value depends on the sides Charlton or Gills put out but I would have thought Charlton were a bigger draw. Having said that I don't blame Welling for the price. Top sides can sometimes charge lower level teams a fee for playing them. I assume neither us nor Gills would here.

What if they make it £5 and barely anyone shows up?
They'd probably end up losing more money, rather than making it
