But club bosses have now pulled the plug on the traditional event, despite it being held in previous seasons regardless of form, including years when relegation was confirmed.
This time, however, patience has finally worn thin after a disastrous finish to the season left morale at rock bottom.
Gillingham currently sit 18th in the League Two table after a campaign to forget.
Their recent form has been particularly grim, with three heavy defeats in succession compounding the misery.

They were hammered 6-2 by Barnet, followed by a 4-1 loss to Grimsby Town, before a 2-1 defeat to Cheltenham Town.
The decision to scrap the dinner was confirmed in a statement posted on X.
It read: “The club has decided to cancel Saturday’s end of season awards dinner at MEMS Priestfield Stadium.
“We will publish a list of award winners on our website over the weekend.”

The announcement sparked immediate reaction from supporters online, with many fans expressing frustration and disappointment at how the season has unravelled.
One supporter posted: “Can’t believe it’s got to this point, absolute shambles of a season.”
Another added: “Not surprised after those results, but still embarrassing for a club like ours.”
A third wrote: “We’ve gone from hoping for a push to watching complete collapse. No awards dinner says it all.”
Others, however, suggested the move was understandable given the poor performances on the pitch, with some arguing it was better to avoid a “celebration of failure”.
The cancellation marks a rare move for the club, who have traditionally used the end-of-season event as a chance to bring players, staff and fans together regardless of league position.
Instead, attention now turns to rebuilding after a campaign that has left supporters demanding change heading into next season.
