Pre-Match Thread FC Halifax Town v Southend United, Tuesday 16th August, 1945ko, NL

I'd vote for @Jasrod 's team too.

Starting to look a little light on the bench though:

Collin, Mooney, Bridge, Wood, Sandat maybe?

 

[Smiffy]

If Mooney is fit, he has to start?

No.10 role ahead of Fonguck?

 

[Jasrod]

Agree with that just not sure if he’s completely recovered yet

Just spoke to the commercial manager as emailed him re parking. Lovely guy who was as helpful as anyone in this league. Had a chat about our starts, he said they have played really well but cant score. I note the stats from Saturday and it confirms what he was saying. It has the potential to be a good game of football. Apparently Torquay were nasty bastards, similar to Boreham Wood which surprised me slightly. Anyway 4 of us travelling up from Billericay, hoping for a win but like Saturday wouldn't be gutted with a draw. Think we need to keep it tight for the first 20-25 mins and build from there

No goals in their first 2 vs a back three of Hobson, Lomas and Kensdale with Steve in goal… We’ll get a clean sheet tomorrow night.

What’s the situation with parking Jon, is there any at the ground?

 

[Hazey]

Mooney to start if he’s fit enough, he’s got that “extra” that we need in the team.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Fancy this might be nil nil.

Hi shrimper b, their's about 200 parking spaces at the ground, their's also plenty of car parks in the town which a 5-10 mins walk away .

Ticket news for the game away to FC Halifax Town on Tuesday 16th August.

Supporters will be located in blocks A/B of the main East Stand at the Shay Stadium. Turnstile 16. This is a strictly cash ONLY turnstile.

Cash machines, if required, are located very close to the ground at both the Tesco store and the Esso garage. Admission prices are:-

They stuck us in that area last season. There seems to be a perfectly good stand behind the goal but that wasn't open.

Why do clubs do this? Pen in fans into as small a place as possible & not use the available space.

I know, I know. It's for our own health & safety.

If the pitch is as rough/uneven as has been suggested, then it may well be better to use him from the bench as per Saturday. Absolutely no need o risk his injury recovery unnecessarily.

Hi mate

Im a blue badge holder so i have organised parking at the ground for £5.00. I dont know if parking is first come first served like Solihull was for non BB. Might be worth emailing the club. they came back to me within 20 minutes. When you go on the website and click on the visiting The Shay there is a stadium contact email. Might be worth trying this route first

 

[bazzashrimper]

We always seem to be able to find a way for goal shy opposition. 4-4 draw

 

[Tommy2holes]

I briefly thought about going to this one. Then I worked out its about £60+ in petrol and £135 on on the train, which is outrageous.

Such a shame we cant watch national league games like we can the EFL games.

Would going to Halifax in the EFL be cheaper then?

 

[Sammy]

Going for a 2.0 win Halifax will struggle this season lost there manager plus 6 of there best players from last season.

 

[AlfaShrimper]

I'm pretty sure the team should pick itself no?

Arnold
Crowhurst Hobbo Kensdale Lomas Ralph
Husin Miley
Fonguck
Powell Wreh

Subs; Colin, bridge, Mooney, wood, sandat

Other than clifford (dropped either for form or injury) I think the players deserve the to start again that started on saturday.

Maybe 2 games in 3 days is a bit much for Crowhurst (doubt it but just a thought) but after what I'm hearing definitely deserves the shirt.

Have high hopes for Mooney but if he is still struggling a bit with injury we dont need to risk him

 

[Tommy2holes]

Nope, but I could watch every single game away from home with a beer in my hand. Possibly would have done that at Solihull as the drive up was a nightmare and 35c.

Fair play to you
