Pre-Match Thread Creepy Crawley v Southend United

[Kent Shrimper]

First game of the season for me and looking forward to it. Should be a cracking atmosphere from the travelling Shrimpers faithful and 3 points to boot after beating them 2-0

 

[Stodge]

Title decider tonight!!!! We have to be more ruthless than we were on Saturday, when we almost let Accrington get away with a draw.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Following a successful take-off in our first two matches I'm hoping that we don't crash to defeat in this one. I think that we should keep the ball grounded rather than play it at altitude, we certainly can't afford to carry any passengers this evening. If we are hoping for anything more than a point at Crawley, I think that the inspiration will have to come from the wings. I'm assuming that this one will KO on schedule, whilst I am not going to make a prediction..........I would happily take a point now, I feel that this ain't goin' be any joy-flight.

And let's hope there are no delays at the DRC!:smile:

Not sure why everyone is so scared of Crawley.

We are higher in the league than them, they need to be as scared of Hall, Dickingson, Harris etc as we do of there players. We will have good support there and our confidence must be high.

Let not roll over and die before the battle has even began.

Anyone know how much it is for pay on the gate tickets tonight?

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

£19.50, I believe.

Thanks Matt.

Really looking forward to this one. Be good to be in a terrace again as well. Got to be one of the better things about being a lower league football fan IMO.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

So where is the pub of choice tonight? Also, any City based Shrimpers travelling down?

 

[Cricko]

Another away game for me ..I am becoming a real fan these days..:sigh: unlike that bucket and spade bloke.

:net:

 

[SUFC-Shrimper]

im travelling down from the city, getting the train from london bridge about 5.50. Then doing the twenty min walk from the station :runner:

 

[Richard T]

The Half Moon pub in Brighton Road seems to be the best option for those driving and only a short walk to the ground.
I hope to be in there by about 5.30.

£19.50, I believe.

£16 for Adults, £13 Seniors & £7 under 18 on the terrace, not sure about the seats. The £19.50 price was the Sun offer for 2 tickets.

Cool thanks for this. I've got an old Uni mate that lives in Crawley so for £16 I might be able to convince him to come down too.

:stunned: MtS read the Sun? What next? Rusty reading the Guardian? Barna the Telegraph?

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Ah - good stuff, happy to be corrected on that one.

Pub of choice is surely the Market Porter at London Bridge...

Of a weekend, like George Orwell, I would often read the Screws (as well as the Observer). It pays to get one's news from more than one source.

 

[londonblue]

Will anyone be in the chat room tonight? I was the only one there last Tuesday...

 

[Sutton Who]

I should be in there unless the girlfriend wants taking out :angry:

 

[ShrimplyTheBest]

Has anyone else spotted the latest odds on us winning tonight?!?

You can get 5/1 on Betfair :stunned:

That is ridiculous!!!
