Every fan is important

Fair enough OBD, there's always exceptions.....

Not much choice though to be honest, I remember seeing the lad being thrown in the air at Northampton away when Barret scored a brace, I think he was about 3 or something then. :stunned:

You can force things upon children it depends if you want to ruin their lives with 75 years atleast of watching Southend United. That's what I plan on anyway when the misses finally realises it's quite serious! :smile:
LOL!

Acts like he's still ten, at times. :'(

For those of you returning on Saturday, please don't be too disappointed by the quality of the football.

True Blue, I take most of the things you say tongue in cheek, but if you think that watching Southend would come before bills and feeding your family then you have a lot to learn and it's a bit rich coming from someone who is kept by their parents anyway.....

We too are saving 25k in a year but the difference is, after putting savings away first and foremost, we get the inevitable flurry of birthdays every month not to mention the fact I have been to 11 weddings this year (2 still to go) which has had a big impact on our finances. With a fair few of these weddings being really good mates, turning down the stag/hen do's wasnt an option for us. Where as turning down a SUFC ST was. Our friends are more important to us than watching football therefore we prioritised in that way.

I would say it was more a matter of justification that priority in my case. I can honestly say that if Southend drew a massive team in the cup and tickets were £50 - I wouldnt be going. I just couldnt justify £50 on something that would last 90 minutes at the moment. There is no doubt that we could afford to buy a ST each if we could justify it, however I feel that putting it in the bank would be much better, when you are saving for something you are going to get what you want quicker if you sacrifice a few things and that is what we decided to do. Priority is a different thing, if I had to choose between my shopping bill for the week or a ticket on a Saturday (as some may well have to) then it would be a no brainer. anyone that thinks watching Southend is a necessity in life clearly has never lived in the real world.
