Chester Match

[prawntobewild]

Got my ticket this morning .Its the east greens for me but have been advised that if enough tickets get sold then they will open the south and I could transfer over .

I was surprised to find a modest queue at the office this morning at 10.15 - however soon found out it was mainly folks from the South getting themselves sorted early - hopefully we'll sell enough to open the rest of the ground.

East Stand holds about 2,750 and the West about 4,000. How many advance tickets would we have to sell before the South Upper was opened, maybe 5,000? Can't see that happening.

Matty Hughes sraight red card today............one we presumably won't have to face next Saturday.

As he is a Loanee, he may well have been cup tied.
Is Sokolik also cup tied from being a loanee?

Matty played, and scored, for us against Stockport.

At least try to get down to the front Phil. if all your son gets to see is Prittlewell on his day out then a visit from social services is in order. Sorry to say but Southend is poxy for boozers and if you had the time I would tell you to go to Leigh.
Safe journey mate.

This being the first round, he won't be cup tied.with it being a 1 month loan though I can't see him being allowed to play in it by Yeovil.

Given the level of opposition it's best that sokalik misses this one than a league game.

Looking foward to it. Love the fa cup.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

I am too, I love the FA Cup first round, real football match & real fans & giant killing too .... I just hope we not one of the victim, I have seen it many time in last 12 years!

 

[tommy tucker]

With the strong defence yeovil seemed to have yesterday .And a strong show in center back berth .This is why Sokalik has been playing right back at yeovil . Think he has now worked out that he made a mistake going there . Thats what agents do for you .Hope we will be able to keep him untill january .

Gave up waiting after 10 minutes on the phone at 10 am, having not moved from position 9 in the queue. The ticket prices should hopefully ensure a good crowd on Saturday!

 

[Ozzer]

I see Iwelumo has retired so we won't be seeing him Saturday.

Walked in at about 2 p.m. this afternoon, one person being served, I was next. No phones ringing, served very quickly, getting our usual tickets. Job done.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Wonder what sort of gate we will get for this one?

Maybe 600 odd from Chester and 3500 home fans. Anything above 4k will be a good gate for a first round tie against non league.

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

What stands are currently open for this one, guys ?

 

[PhilChester]

Well it seems we can also take advantage of the season ticket offer which is excellent news!
3 coaches coming so far but there should be a 4th one laid on, plenty doing the train journey so I would say 600 is a fair guess.

 

[eastling]

Praise to the club on this one. Ticket booked promptly on phone Fri AM and delivered Sat lunchtime in the post!

 

[Supa Shrimpa]

That's a nice touch, Phil. It's expensive enough for seaso's these days, as it is. Should make for a decent atmosphere

I rang three times today, hung on about 20 mins each time and gave up. Was always 3rd in the queue when rang and only once got to 1st in queue and gave up after another 10 mins, unfortunately being at work cannot hang on all day. Them phones must be on silent!
