The east stand is almost sold out. a couple of the west stand blocks are also not faraway from being sold out.

will we be looking at the 9000 mark. as BR won't bring a huge following.

Could be over 10,000 if we was allowed in the North Bank.

Very true. But do you REALLY think that will change OVERNIGHT? Even if the decision is made tomorrow, it would still take some time for the appropriate segregation requirements to be implemented and the subsequent certification from the FLA, police and council authorities to be issued. It's not as simple as changing the sign from "Away Fans Only" to "Home Fans Only".

If you are so incensed by this, why not write to the club and ask them about this issue, even if it's only to suggest opening the NW corner? That would be far more productive that slagging the club off on these means, especially as none of us know all the facts and considerations required ...

If anyone from the club is watching get this sorted before next Tuesday..

We could have over 10,000 in the ground if you sort out a little bit of mesh and a few stewards to seperate us from the 200 Bristol fans that will make the trip..

Every other club manages to satisfy the Football League and the Police with this level of segregation so no excuses..

Sort it!.

It's not that simple. You forget that the club also has to supply seperate access and exit points, separate toilet points, separate catering points, separate ticketing points. I don't think they can do this by Tuesday.

How about speaking to those who control direct at : geoffrey.king@southend-united.co.uk.

We cant afford to lose potentially around £20000-£30000 in just ticket sales alone.. and that isnt even taking into account the increased sales in catering, merchandising etc..

Surely something can be done...

Most probably - and with enough support - but it can't be done overnight. Surely you have to see that ...

Access/Exits to the Yellow section can be made through the West stand..with a few stewards/police of course..

Toilets, again in the West stand.

Food, either the West or a mobile van.

Ticketing points via the West stand office.

Guys you really do not need to worry - plans have been made IF we need the extra seats.

It was all sorted weeks ago.

Plans have been made to move round into the North-West corner if it is needed and perhaps beyond. Of course all depends on how many Rovers bring.
 
Can we please ensure then this time that stewards direct people to where there are empty seats,  instead of sending them on a wild goose chase around the ground.

Or print in the echo on the day of the game where space is avaiable for pay on the day spectators.

Is this why these sections are not available on Seatbooker?.

I take it these tickets are only available on the night, if needed..

I also echo the comments of Rusty Lee, plenty of info needs to be available from the stewards/club officials as to ticket/seat availability before and on the night in the local press and other forms..
