// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Gillingham have completed the double loan signing of Colchester United striker Scott Vernon and West Ham United defender Matt Fry.[LNB] Priestfield boss Mark Stimson has been looking to improve his options and has added Vernon and Fry to his squad ahead of Saturday's game at MK Dons.[LNB]Vernon scored in Colchester's 2-1 win over Gillingham back in August, but has not played a first-team game for the past month.[LNB]Colchester boss Aidy Boothroyd believes the 26-year-old, who turned down a move to Carlisle United in the summer, will benefit from his time with Gillingham.[LNB]"Scott goes with our best wishes to get some games and to get himself fit," Boothroyd told the club's official website.[LNB]"While he is down there, there is a chance that he can help our cause if he scores against other rival teams. If he comes back in a month's time, he will be match sharp and ready to go.[LNB]"Equally, if Gillingham decide that they want to extend it after that first month and that's something Scott would want, then we will look at that."[LNB]Fry, meanwhile, is capable of playing at left-back and centre-half, and signed his first professional contract at West Ham in the summer.[LNB]
