Gillingham ordered to leave training ground by Council
Gillingham have been ordered to leave their training ground after failing to pay bills.
Medway Council claims the League Two side owe more than £34,000 in unpaid utility bills and charges for using Beechings Cross.
The council says the Kent club's use of the facility is "without permission" and considers them to be trespassers.
It will begin legal proceedings if the Gills do not hand back the keys to the ground by Friday.
Alan Jarratt, deputy leader of Medway Council, said: "The money owed is not a small figure, and it is public money provided by the taxpayer. It would not be right, or fair to taxpayers or those that pay their rent, to ignore this.
"It is a shame that it has come to this. The Gills is an important part of the community and we are keen to support our local team.
"We have tried as hard as we can to negotiate with the club and find a way through, but they have failed to talk to us.
"Now, as all our efforts have been ignored, we have to evict them from the ground."
No-one from the club was available to comment.
