Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Dorking Wanderers, Tuesday 12th March, 19:45 k.o., NL

I'm yet to see them in the same place together

I’ve always thought Justin was JD’s long lost Australian cousin!

Won't be at this one, got a darts match at The Plough just round the corner though. Will probably know if we score as the Roots Hall roar does travel some distance!

If we go our usual one goal down you might also hear the roots hall groan in the plough

Darts before watching Southend?? If you were a juvenile I'd give you away to Travellers.

Only on Tuesdays. Still plenty of Saturdays (and Good Friday) to watch the Shrimpers!

Crowds will inevitably start tailing off a bit now as it becomes more apparent the remaining fixtures are essentially "dead rubber" matches. Plus of course holiday season starts kicking into gear, we've had lots of home games and generally a lot of peple are skint.

Saturday had a bit of that feel tbh

Agree with you, possibly in the 1st half due to our performance?. IF we score first tomorrow, then hopefully it will lift the crowd & we're score a couple more.
Appreciate managers can say what they want to, but the Dorking guy ( says it how it is ) has stated they won't play defensively, in which case should make it an entertaining game.

Very early doors

Come on you Shrimpers

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

I’m feeling human again now so planning to make tonight. I hope the lads were saving an absolute quality performance for me. We’ll hopefully be on the front foot from the first minute. Waldron hat trick, 4-0 Southend

What a great bloke he comes across as, actually hoping they don’t get relegated

Pointless posting these Echo reports on here if you have to subscribe to read.
I get the Echo delivered so I'm not going to pay twice

That last comment was brilliant, talking about getting as many of their fans down to RH for the game...

"Unless you're 14 and on Ketamine"

No bull****, tells it how it is. Puts a lot of money behind the bars of all the local pubs when we visit. Genuinely good guy that has worked his nuts off to get a park side to the NL. Good luck to him and Dorking, just not tonight.

Anyone worried about it being called off? Colu just called there's off

Heavy rain likely until 3pm, lighter rain until 5pm then dry according to the BBC forecast. Should be OK. We don't play on a sponge like Col Ewe do.

Nope. Rain will clear around 3pm and will give sufficient drainage time.

We don't do postponements for waterlogging.

All these postponements could well be the straw that broke the camels back, it sounds like Saturday could be called off as well, our pitch is in a hell of a state! Oh well it is getting more and more possible the Essex derby will be alive and well next season!

I think you'll be okay purely due to how dire forest green and Sutton are. Id much rather it be a football league derby
