S.U.I.S.A. involved are they? Let's hope there are no demonstrations or opposition support for The P.P.F.I.S.U.A. or The I.V.S.U.F.A. at the game .................. could turn nasty if they grabbed the ball when it went out of play .......

 

[Streaky]

Went to GWR for the first time last season and really enjoyed it, the bar is also pretty good from memory.

 

[essexshrimper]

i would love to be at this game this weekend, but im away on ruddy exercise again :sad:

Great Wakering is always a "must do" in the pre-season schedule. We'll be there.

 

[shrimperhosk]

I recently Managed a charity match and enjoyed it so much i cant wait to go back also the staff helped us out alot on the day

 

[OldBlueLady]

Nice also to hear that Daniel Wolfendale will be involved, as an SJS member, I'd arranged for him to present the end of season SJS Player of the Year award, but his health wasn't up to it - in fact, I think that was just about when it all got very nasty. Be good to see him well on the road to recovery.

If and IF I go to this it will only be for the chips and not Southend :smile:

Just a note to let you all know the Rovers clubhouse will be showing the Lions v Australia 3rd test match prior to kick-off.

 

[jamesmut2000]

Have SUISA and the Trust decided which ends they are allocating for their own supporters-I assume there will be segregation in force?

No offence to GWR but I went last year and let's just say the burger or sausage I ate saw more of the inside of a toilet than my intestines as it quickly went right back out the way it went in. I'm not saying don't eat there as it might well have been a one off. Just make sure your food is cooked properly before you eat it. That or go for the chips!

And that's a cracking reason to get down there and have a burger! Good on them!

I'm looking forward to this one, it will be my 3 year old's first match! She's excited about going to the football with daddy and it's free for her to get in. Plus I don't mind leaving if she gets bored...

You're never bored watching SUFC :'(

Looking forward to this curtain raiser to the season.

Should be a warm day.

It's not competitive fare- the fun I think is more a cheap day out and an opportunity to hunt and access various trialists - certainly gives us something to talk about
PB has already said its 3 half games. For each player in a few days and part of the fitness prep for the season. It has a purpose but not necessary as a feat for the spectators
