Breaking News Morecambe home game

[Maldon Blues]

Surely we should look for a very near to full capacity for this one?

Great move by the club, we were only talking about this the other day between mates.

I guess Morcombe will bring 200-300 as they are doing well in the league and because of these prices, if we do fill our allocation will we get half of the north bank??

I counted the Morecambe fans last season - I counted 35! I reckon they'll have 80 tops. May as well utilise half of the North Bank. Why can't we push 10,000 for this game?!

 

[Reg Martin]

good game to do this for as there will not be many from Morecambe if last year anything to go by - you could literally count their fans and it was under 50

 

[davewebbsbrain]

As a STH I wouldn't be too bothered if this happen once or twice. Anything to get more people through the gates. If it happens often though then we should get something back to compensate. Get Roots Hall rocking!

I totally agree with that, it doesn't bother me at all

Look simples......put the Morecambe fans in the directors box and then we can hot 12,000!!

Very good idea, and to be this is a no brainer, and if the trust disagrees then I would be seriously disapointed to put it mildly.

What are the club telling us?

Tthey are telling us that we can made a difference, so yes we all support in different ways but the club and manager are telling us again that we make a difference when we are behind the team . Some people sing because they enjoy it , some get embarressed and dont enjoy it - fair enough BUT I would argue if you can please please put the club ahead of your inhibitions and find the strength/confidence whatever it is to make you join in.

lets make Roots hall our fortress !

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Excellent news and could be 1st vs 2nd if results transpire.

I'd be going anyway but £5 a ticket is good news for all our floating supporters. Lets see if we can pack the Hall so that we have to have at least half of the North Bank as well. Spread the word and lets better the Shrewsbury atmosphere. Like the idea of a £1 a pint as well. Why don't the club reduce the programme to £1 each as well?

As great as the promo is to get fans in it would be nice to still make some money.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Yeah, if we can get almost 10'000+ then we done well!

 

[OldBlueLady]

Will be good to have a near full ground, give these players a taste of how it feels to have the town behind them and hopefully encourage them on to another win. Just hope there aren't too many kids around us, I find it very inhibiting! :blush:

But what better for them than to have a master class in supporting the Blues than one from you? :winking:

 

[Shrimper]

I seriously reckon that if this is distributed to the right places, we could be looking at a crowd of 8,500 +. That'd be fantastic for this club as that'd mean there is around 4,000 fans who've paid £5 to watch = £20,000 in the coffers.

 

[ian_the_girth]

Assume this is £5.00 for away fans too?
If Morecombe organised cheap coach travel they could bring close to 1000 too.

 

[TrueBlue]

Couldnt agree more, I buy a season card because i'm lucky enough to be able to afford it, probably because I dont smoke, gamble or get involved with loose women (chance would be a fine thing huh). Most of all I buy a season card coz I love Southend and its my way of helping as best I can.

If this offer gets loads more people in who would otherwise not have been able to, thats great by me.

A full house and hopefully win number 6 on the trot.

BANG ON mate!!!!!!!! some of you ***** need to stop ****ing moaning

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Great move by the club, £5 I'll have some of that, it's been a hell of a last few weeks for me with one thing & another so it'll be a great reward for myself. I'll even try to persuade my mate to go in TBV section (normally he's staunchly middle of West).

UTB!
