--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi fellow blues! Can I apologise in advance for having my first post as an announcement, but hope the following may be of interest to some of you.
If there are any mods reading could you please make this a sticky for a while until word gets around. Cheers!!!
Paid a visit to Southend Football Club on Monday to try and get something organised for what should be The Goat's final game on Saturday 6th May 2006 when Southend will play at Home to Bristol City.
After strong negotiations, I finally managed to extract the following agreement.
Southend United have kindly agreed to set aside a block of seats for any Manchester City fans who wish to attend this fixture and sit together.
This Block shall remain reserved for us until 20th April, by which time any unsold tickets will be sild to Southend fans.
Should there be considerable early interest, Southend will CONSIDER reserving a further Block for us
The Block in question is BLOCK X, and is level with the 18yard box toward the away end and gives an UNOBSRUCTED VIEW.
Those wishing to attend should phone the Southend United Ticket Office on 08444 770077. Declare yourself as a City fan who wishes to sit in Block X and you should be well looked after.
Be warned here people that whilst I was there, there was a steady stream of fans coming in to buy tickets, and the office staff consists of three people, which meant there was only really one person answering the phone. The moral being if you can block book for your freinds as well, then it might be wiser.
The Block holds 150 seats and will be sold on a first come first served basis although if you wish to sit in with the home fans then feel free to do so.
Ticket Prices are:
16.50 Adults.
10.00 Concessions over 60
8.00 Under 16's
Please be warned that proof for concessions may be required on the day.
Demand will obviously be high for this game so please book early.
Parking around the ground will be a bit of a nightmare but hopefully by then it will be a bit warmer and you may want to park near the seafront.
I appreciate it is a bit of a trek from Manchester, but you guys in London and surrounding area really have no excuse, it's 11.00 Cheap Day Return from Liverpool Street and the train takes about an Hour and run every 20mins or so. (I know because I did it on Monday.). The ground is about a 10minute walk from the station.
Just a final word here, there is no agreement between the clubs here. Southend have gone out of there way to help us get a block of seats, So it would be nice if we could fill them, should be a good atmosphere as hopefully it will be their promotion party.
I shall probably contact other forums and possibly supporters groups in the next couple of days, but in the meantime if anyone has direct contact with such bodies maybe they could spread the word and let me know to save me the trouble. ( My time is extremely limited at the mo.)
C'mon Guys and Gals, Let's FEED THE GOAT ONE MORE TIME.
Any Questions.........
Kippax.
.
P.S. There is obviously no guarantee that he will play, but I'm sure he will be there.
Perhaps I should just add that I normally post on Mancity under the name Kippax and this message has been on there for a couple of days, but lack of time has prevented me putting it here sooner.
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!
Thanks
Kippax. (Mr).
I really must amend that name as soon as possible, but I see that someone has already nabbed Kippax.
