[Ayrshire Blue]

What a horrendous idea after how the last game went down

 

[LCBB72]

What a stupid idea , why not have Cambridge United as well .

Have to agree, but, with maybe McCormack Gunning, Ranger & Phil himself, wants to encourage a new Millwall attitude....:dim:

 

[Csboy]

This is not a friendly. How much extra will the club have to pay out in Stewards/Police Costs etc?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Could we invite Luton to the party :whistling:

 

[GBJ]

Lol this club is a joke at times. Gate receipts, over fans safety? Haha there won't be nothing friendly about this at all. My advice to anyone with kids, or those of a fragile disposition, stick well clear of the NW corner

 

[Pubey]

Nice of the club to do something for those less fortunate.

 

[Blues 'n twos]

We could have "The Onion Trophy" Tournament, with us Col U, Cambridge and Millwall :'(

 

[londonblue]

Don't worry, it'll be Col Ewe vs Southend XI.

 

[Tommy2holes]

Should be another decent gate in. 5k+ maybe

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

No chance prices not exactly cheap considering the opposition!
Colchester won't bring many and it's the first or second weekend of school holidays so many people will be away.
Last time we played Colchester in a home friendly a few seasons ago the crowd was less than 2,000.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

Should be an interesting game, we have just signed our 8th new player this afternoon, I hope all the new boys understand what it means to the fans, there is no such thing as a friendly!

I cannot understand the mentality of either club organising this game. There are undoubtedly mindless thugs and hooligans on both sides who will relish this game for the wrong reasons.

It beggars belief why this has been organised and both clubs should have a lot of explainingto do to try and justify themselves in organising it should there be problems.

And this game won't be family friendly....

So we go 5 years without a game between us when we got relegated, but we give them one after they get relegated.

:sad:

 

[Evening Echo]

Blues to host local rivals Colchester in pre-season friendly

SOUTHEND United will host local rivals Colchester United in a pre-season friendly at Roots Hall later this month.

More...

:sad:

I doubt many of our fans will bother going to be honest but there will certainly be an element of trouble makers from both camps on the day. The good things is if the crowd is fairly small it will be easier to control any who misbehave.

I was more concerned about our bragging rights. :smiles:

Ha ha Looking at our new players if they apply themselves correctly you could be in for a tough game!
