Maybe we could afford it if they stocked pies at Roots Hall?

A great train journey is from Edinburgh to Aberdeen. If anyone wants to tick off a Montrose or an Arbroath then fly to Aberdeen, train down the coast and home from Edinburgh.

Nice South Bank. Great in the summer. Bet it's not much fun Dec/Jan.
I don't think Southend could afford a pre-season tour to Canvey, let alone Arbroath.

Been, seen and done - did it on my honeymoon and got in their programme.

I'd make a case for it being my favourite UK ground. It is right on the beach and pretty wild. Very friendly bunch. Cracking chippy opposite.

When I get home I'll share some pix

Oh for some Arbroath smokies(smoked Haddock),this tour must take place.

Do you think the barrier in the pic is strong enough for the surge celebration after a Kelman special? H & S aren't dirty words.

No indeed, crevice, doodah and danglies are dirty words though.

Hmmm, that's a bit fishy...

Unfortunately, Southend to Aberdeen flights have been cancelled, as too unpopular.

We will get the usual pre season tour to a place near the sea.......... Canvey!

Not the ground on which they got their 36-0 victory over Bon Accord (with at least 5 others being harshly disallowed).

saw this pic on one of the facebook grounds groups. I did enquire about smokies, sadly they don't sell them in there.

In all seriousness, I'd love a pre-season tour of Scotland / Ireland. Have we ever done anything like that before?

You are Michael Portillo and I claim my £5

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

I saw George Best play there.

 

[Steve Giles]

How about via the west coast, Fort William and Eriskay?

We participated in a tournament at East Fife's New Bayview in July 2011 under Paul Sturrock. We lost 2-0 to Dundee in the semi-final and then drew 0-0 with Raith Rovers in the third/fourth place play-off.

23rd one looked offside!

Perhaps we should have a preseason tour of Southends A and E department. May as well get the players familiar with upcoming fixtures. They could also get fit at a David Lloyd centre. He was a good Leigh boy even if he did take control of Hull FC and not get involved with us. Huh! And some people moan about Moyet...l

My Mum's Dundonian, so I've been to Tannadice / Dens loads! Dundee Utd are my team up there.

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

My wife's a Dundonian. Small world. Like you I've seen many games in Dundee mainly at Dens as my nephews are Dundee fans.
