Lets just hope the ground staff have the covers on the pitch already as it is absolutely hammering it down and i live about 30 seconds away from the ground.

30 seconds from the ground ? Can I park on your driveway ?

Good for you Dog, gay boxers! what is next then, tranny LeeBlue when Ron gets his spade out & FF starts.

Don't forget me lucky pink socks as well.

:'( Not something most people would make public .....

lank or rank?

Lank - kinda limp, very much not crusty. I was so outraged I vowed never to return, and then all this play off business happened.

I can see why. Is there anything worse in the world than non-crusty bread. Outrage. How dare they. Come on Bazzer, put the ball in the old onion bag.

Tomorrow

Good luck to Southend United and well done to ever one who is going

I truly hope that it's a great day to remember Eastwood I hope you'll score but I think Barry Corr hat trick what is everyone else's thoughts? 3-1 final score

Norman who goes to every game home and away - delivers bread for a living. Imagine his outrage. I don't even want to think about it as it riles me up so. Lets beat these lying bread cheats. We have Southend pride - they can barely conjure up mothers pride.

Zero chance you will sell out - in a small ground - why??

This is a playoff to get into a league that your club has never ever been in, if that can't pull people through turnstiles, then I don't know what to say. If we were in Championship playoffs, there would not be a spare seat for love nor money at Roots Hall.

How can you compare us being in the Championship play offs to Burton in the League Two play offs ?! Our average attendance in that league was 10,000, of course we would sell out.

If you want to compare then surely compare like for like and the league two play off attendances!?

Im sure if Burton ever end up in the Championship play offs there wouldnt be a spare seat either.

Just setting off in another probably vain effort to find a bar showing the game. Kudos to those going. 1-1 draw Barry Corr scoring from a White cross.

After watching the Burton home game I was extremely confident that we that we would win today. Now after a less than perfect nights sleep and I am a bit more concerned about today's game but still hopeful that over both legs we can get to Wembley again.
Hopefully today will go our way but lets be sure either way that we do our bit on the terraces or seats and are loud and proud.

Is that some Messiah imagery you are using there?

Heavy rain forecast for today. I think it's going to be a war of attrition with chances at a premium and consequently a 0-0 draw.

 

[sufccolchester]

Any chance the game will be postponed? If it doesn't stop raining will the pitch be up to it?

The comparison wasn't size of club, it was a club at the pinnacle of its all-time history. No matter what level or ground size, you think that should at least come close to generating a sellout.

but the guy gave an honest answer, a lot of their fan base are floating Derby fans and would rather watch them. Bit gutting for them I suppose.

 

[dbailey3]

Was thinking of a chant for Ben Coker for today's game. Perhaps a rendition oh the hokey Coker. Something along the line of "put your left back in, left back out....." and so on.

 

[RHB]

Got my Sky 24 hour pass, got my Southend navy polo shirt on, getting excited. Now I've just got to wait for the long pre-arranged relatives to arrive (yeah, whoopee!) . Would rather be there but there you go. COYB:clap:

 

[MilkeySUFC]

Away shirt on. TV set to Sky Sports 1HD. Nerves in overdrive. Is it too early to pop a bottle open?

Never!

It does look good. Are you enjoying being on a forum where people post! You could become BurtonBlue as an alter ego and support us as your favourite League1 team next season.

God no, please don't. Sounds too much like Barnablue for comfort.
