Does anyone know if the tree is still in the ground?

5 of us travelling tomorrow, but again 450 for a Tuesday night in January for a team 18th in the NL.....wow

 

[Ricey]

I’ll be making the journey, looking forward to this one.

Shame I can’t make this because of work but £20 train fare, £20 entry fee..shame it’s not on a Saturday. Again, our following is second to none - 450 plus for a midweek game - considering the last 3 years and where we are now - amazing. Guaranteed we’ll be noisy too.

apparently according to various NL social groups our support is nothing compared to Wrexham, Stockport, Grimsby. Torquay etc. I beg to differ when you consider what weve been through. Ive missed 2 away games this season, but our support at the other games ive attended has been some of the best ive known for years

I really don't understand why these clubs don't allow pay on the day. I honestly can't see the logic.

So many fans at a lower level decide on the day whether to go or not.

Seems like financial suicide not to allow on the day.

I will be there with 5 or 600 shrimpers.

It’s the Southend boys making all the noise everywhere we go

Have to disagree there.

Wrexham have only been enjoying a surge in support because of investment. Think they only averaged around 4.5k before that.

Notts county are a city club (proper city) and are a bigger club.

Stockport Grimsby and Chesterfield are having good seasons and aren't far ahead of us. Think our crowds would be higher than theirs if we were right up the top.

As for Torquay. Nice little club but no chance.

“Tickets will be available online right up until kick-off for away supporters”

(Which is just as well as I haven’t purchased mine yet)

Totally agree, think a lot of this league won’t give us any credit.

if anyone needs a ticket, I have one spare. Free to anyone who will use it!

In reality it will be 343 again and probably unchanged however the new and returning players offer some questions.

One post suggested moving to 532 which allows husin to start but means dropping one if the strikers - probably Dalby?

Does bridge come back in to lwb or perhaps move into a similar amc role to husin?

Or do we keep the 3 upfront and go 4 at the back to accommodate an attacking midfielders a 433. I'd love us to do this personally

So what’s changed at aldershot since mm has been there did he bring his own players in? Is it a similar team that beat us?

 

[Ramsdenblue]

I have 3no. Adult tickets for sale for this game.
£10.00 per ticket if you want them.
Can screenshot the tickets and email them across.

 

[Blue Yonder]

From experience last year with MM you’d think 0-0 might be the best bet. Hopefully though the chances start going in and our run continues taking us up to 15th.
