Official Match Thread Grimsby Town v Southend United

[Tangled up in Blue]

I only heard about it last week myself.

Quite that's why I suggested it might be a Nick Alliker invention!

Fingers crossed this pitch holds up.The longer the game goes on the worse it becomes.

 

[Petejames]

Similar team to the one that lost to orient! Fairchild the difference let’s hope it’s a much better performance than that day

You can switch it to ambient crowd noise?

Cant believe mm is not starting macca or kyle taylor! We needed these 2 players against borient and look what happened there! Wrong starting lineup demi should be on the bench.I hope this decision doesn't come back to bite mm on the ....!!

I wonder why no BBC Essex.

I wonder why no BBC Essex.

They couldn't get to Orient remember so probably for similar travel restriction reasons.

Not allowed to leave the county in lockdown I think. It's happened before this season (Orient)

 

[SHRIMPERPETER]

I wonder why no BBC Essex.

Same as last two aways, the BBC won't let their reporters travel at the moment so they are commenting from the Chelmsford studio for the Radio but if they put that with the iFollow it would be a big time delay ?

See my second post in this thread

Please note, due to current BBC guidelines relating to travel to and from a Tier 4 area, the BBC Essex commentary team will not be able to provide match commentary for the game. Instead, you will have a choice of listening to ambient stadium noise or you can switch to Grimsby’s commentary via the settings cog.

Apparently they can’t leave county whilst in lockdown. Chris Phillips can still go though which is strange.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

So Chris Phillips of the Echo can attend but BBC Essex cant

Obviously the Echo aren't as worried as the BBC about their employees.

BBC policy that if you're not a 5Live bigwig you can't cover away games. Echo can set a different policy so have.

TBF quite like getting the opposition perspective sometimes.. as long as it isn’t ridiculously biased.

Taylor is nowhere near match fit.

BBC used to do the same with Murray Walker for some overseas F1 commentaries , stick him in the broom cupboard in BBC UK studios with a mic & commentate over the live footage on a monitor

James Hansen on the bench for Grimsby.
Must be getting on but always been a handful in the lower leagues
