Manager John Coleman thanked the fantastic fans who backed his Gillingham side at Carlisle United on Saturday.
Just over 400 were in the away seats at Brunton Park to watch the goalless draw.
There were some nervy moments for those supporters as Carlisle stepped it up in the second half but Gillingham hung on for a point, one that leaves them sitting 19th in the table.
With promotion hopes ended for another season, the fact so many fans made the 350-mile journey was something Coleman appreciated.
He said: “For our travelling fans to have come in those numbers was so admirable.
“Seven hours, fantastic people and I can’t thank them enough.
“The support was very, very much appreciated by both the staff and the players.
“We’re just desperate to get that win for them.”
The two supporter coaches left Priestfield at 6.30am on Saturday for the long trip north and a game that finished 0-0.
Gillingham’s last League 2 win came in mid-December but the fans haven’t stopped following them on the road, with two trips to Cumbria this month, along with a midweek trip to Walsall.
The club’s next away game is in South Wales, visiting Newport County, next Tuesday night.
