Royal Oak pub on Lower Road is opening early its 10 mins walk max from ground and is opening at 10am on Sunday and serving breakfasts bacon rolls etc. It's also got some extra real ale in apparantly. Hope to see you there.

Just realised we're playing this Sunday then playing again just two days later in the mickey mouse trophy v Wimbledon!?

Don't turn up at Roots Hall two days after the Dover game....you will definitely be part of our lowest ever crowd if you do. The Wimbledon game is on Wednesday November 13th.

The Cricketers adjacent to the ground (Dover) is also open at 10am and has a BBQ in the garden.

Thanks to @CricketersPun for info

Not sure. was told about 1000 but was going to find out tomorrow for sure. They are available on gate though which a lot of people opt for

We have sold 1000 already. If so that's pretty impressive given our form and the fact the games on tv and a rediculous ko time

Just a heads up- away tickets are only available in advance, so don’t turn up on the day expecting to be able to pay on the day.

I can't see where it says that on the SUFC website: https://www.southendunited.co.uk/news/2019/october/dover-athletic-ticket-info/

Think this will be the galvanising fixture. We will stare humiliating defeat in the face but come through.

Plainly rediculous from Dover. Are they expecting a few thousand to turn up on the day ffs

In advance they are only available from Southend. Ambiguous. Punctuation is important (so's spelling).

You’re half right.

another 4 just purchased. anyone know about parking? think i read somewhere you park at the rugby club

 

[WhiteCliffs]

Plenty of street parking within 5 mins or so of ground. If you want a quick exit don't park at the rugby ground. Best bet guys is park somewhere near the Royal Oak pub in River which opens at 10am and walk yo ground.

 

[MK Shrimper]

walk yo ground.

Innit blud.

I do not want more water in my beer than normal.

With the TV money (£75k) and prize money for the win (£36k) this is a really important game for the club and any possible rebuilding project from Jan onwards. Will we win it? With the clowns we have at the back I am unsure. Especially with their concentration levels or should I say lack of them.

I can certainly not rule out an og, soft penalty or unmarked runner scoring for Dover, (please not more than one of them), so for me it's a 2 goal minimum requirement to get the win.

And I don't want to concentrate on the league, because that's gone. Safety is well over a point a game needed and this lot are going to be hard pushed to average a point a month by the time the season finishes, harsh, but it's true.

So the Cup, this season, holds the key to putting the building bricks in place for the recovery and any player signed in Jan has got to be prepared to drop to L2. It ain't gonna be easy!!

Does it really matter lets be honest. If the finances are not managed well!

I am going to a wedding on Sunday and will be on a coach at kick off.

For the first time in my 50 years of supporting the team, I'm glad I won't be watching.
