Gravesend add to squad

Gravesend and Northfleet, who visit Edgar Street next Saturday, have agreed with Stevenage Borough to take striker Craig McAllister on-loan for a month. The signing increases their squad to 23 players.

McAllister, 24, joined Stevenage from Basingstoke Town in the summer but has been restricted to just a handful of appearances for Graham Westley's side. He was one of the Rymans League's leading scorers last season.

After a strong start to the season, Gravesend have slipped down the Conference table and now lie in 15th position. They have only picked up two points in their last six games.

Last Saturday they were defeated 3-1 by Barnet at home. Reports suggested that more composure in front of goal would have resulted in a second or even third goal for the Gravesend team. That could point to one reason why manager Andy Ford has signed Craig McAllister.

Meanwhile there doesn't appear to be much interest from Gravesend fans in coming to Edgar Street next Saturday. Only 15 have put their names down for supporters travel so far. Hereford United took 244 fans to the Gravesend game last September.
