So there we have it folks..... They made us sweat for that one, being one of the last balls being pulled out of the pot.

We are at home to Crawley Town......

What could possibly go wrong???

 

[MK Shrimper]

Crawley at home. Meh.

 

[Ex-Member1]

Nice draw!

 

[AndyT]

Looking at what was left when we got drawn out, there was Portsmouth, otherwise about four non-league options. I fancied Weston Super Mare, but it wasn't to be.

Chapman made a right dog's breakfast of the draw. Maybe he should stick to not trying to be funny!

And they won't be inviting the Luton captain back in a hurry!

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Yeah just our luck quite few nice ties left and we get Crawley. Will be a very low crowd.

 

[RHB]

Happy with that

 

[Ex-Member1]

I agree, Chapman is also quite annoying I find.

 

[Danshrimper]

Much better than the traditional long distance League 1/2 away game that ends in defeat.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Another thoroughly unexciting FA Cup first round that we'll probably lose.

 

[Evening Echo]

SOUTHEND United are ball number 41 in tonight's FA Cup first round draw.

More...

 

[AndyT]

Whenever I watch these things, as a home team is drawn out and you hope it's not us as the next ball, you end up almost pleading it's not number 41 next!

 

[Trucking shrimper]

Very dull Crawley draw. Wanted a small non league club, at least it makes the early rounds interesting.

 

[AndyT]

Still, more importantly, the Police got Newport at home.

One for the TV cameras, I think.

 

[Welly7]

Hope club give big discounts, open the whole stadium and there's a decent crowd to see us (hopefully) progress into the next round...

 

[davewebbsbrain]

That's the spirit, nice and positive

 

[tia]

Not best draw but could have been worse.Hope it's priced sensibly to get a reasonable gate.Decent chance to advance to next round even though we are struggling at home currently

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Hope club give big discounts, open the whole stadium and there's a decent crowd to see us (hopefully) progress into the next round...

Even with discounts we will be lucky to get 3,500 crowd for this one. With probably only 100 or so from Crawley.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Hope club give big discounts, open the whole stadium and there's a decent crowd to see us (hopefully) progress into the next round...

More chance of us winning tomorrow!
