Most p%&sed at a Southend match?

First LDV Final for me.Started drinking Stella on the train to Liverpool Street on Saturday at 8 am and didn't stop till 5 to three on the Sunday. And all that couldn't erase the memory of Broughtons white boots.

Although they were probably better that day than Gower's

Charlton away at Crapton Park........

9am train, cans of beer, bottle of whisky, hemp, more beer in pub near ground, how did they let me in?
I could hardly walk!

Cheltenham Town away about four or five years ago, the Friday night game that was called off about an hour before kick-off. Plenty of us in a pub close to the ground exchanging songs with the Cheltenham crowd after a day on the p%&s; biggest cheer of the night was when someone crashed through the door and announced that the game was off ...

Unfortunately I've never been really pi$$ed at a game, mostly due to the fact I have to drive everywhere.

There's been too many - for a long time I didn't watch Southend play sober, not because I was an alcoholic but because being a Southend fan is just as much about the social interaction with fellow fans as watching the game. It just so happens that in the days before a mortgage and baby I did all my football socialising in pubs.

However I do recall Sheffield United away on a Tuesday night. A gang of us were staying up there for a week as we had Huddersfield away the following Saturday and we rolled up in this pub near Brammall Lane around midday (for a 7:45 ko). The pub was called The Cremorne and it was very welcoming with good beer and an even better jukebox. Many pints of Tetleys later we were staggering to the ground holding each other up. Two things stand out from that week in The Cremorne - first was when shortly after getting in the pub my mate asked the barman if they usually get many away fans in there to which he replied -
'Yes, but not usually nearly 8 hours before kick off'.

The other was when we walked back in there the following day and the same barman had a look of horror on his face. We didn't thought we'd been that badly behaved the day before but he explained that he didn't realise we'd be back and he'd have to order more beer as we'd drunk it all!

Cardiff LDV against Wrexham.  Went by Limo, started drinking Bucks Fizz in Newmarket, Vodka and Coke by the time we got to the M11 services.  Then someone gave me a blue and white horn at Reading and it's all a bit of a blur from that point until we got back to sunny Suffolk late that night.

I'd like to say "I'm Very Sorry!!" to all of the people that I blew my horn at, or bumped into that day (except for the numpty Cardiff chav who was winding me up in St Marys Street).

orient at home when i was 17. went in the silver jubilee? actually that might not be the one. up london road. had 9 pints between 12.15 and 2.30, another 1 at half time. don't remember a single thing. apart from running to the game, no particular reason for doing this other than being p%&sed. can't remember the score. think we might have got done 1-0

Yeovil away last year, drinking all day and night, missed the last train and woke up in a mates bath in north west London at 5am (still with rucksack on) with a game against Shrimperzone five hours later. Not big or clever

 

[West Country Shrimper]

Think mine was when we played Rochdale at home, the same day England won the rugger world cup and it was Patsy's Birthday. Got very drunk, and had to be taken home by an SZ regular.

Also a bit tipsy at the Luton home game in the Cup last October. Managed to go to Reflex as well after the game.

Funnily enough, I cant remember much of those games!

 

[EastStandBlue]

It will be Gillingham this year, April 14th...

Its a Friday game, 3pm and its the day of my 18th... Fair to say i will be getting plastered, and if we keep bagging these points i may have something extra to party about (touch wood)

God knows I've had enough excuses to get bladdered before watching some dross over the years (Bobby Moore's team anyone ?) but I don't think I've ever been drunk watching a Southend game home or away.

I've been to a few England games over the years and it's the complete opposite. I can't remember the last time I saw one sober.

The last game I went to was Portugal v England at Euro 2000 on a corporate jolly, starting off with a Guinness and Champagne breakfast and finishing back at a Hotel in Stansted where we arrived back at 1.30 and finally made it to bed at 5.30am. France 98 Argies vs England was another interesting experience. The managers in both cases may not have been the best in the World but at least they were English.

Incidentally Terry Venables and Glenn Hoddle are 2nd and 3rd respectively in the % won list behind Sir Alf. SGE is 5th and Keegan, not surprisingly, is bottom, if you exclude Peter Taylor and Wilkinson.

SGE has the best record in tournament matches of all managers of England. Ron Greenwood has the best record amongst proper English managers. Sir Alf only comes 6th in this list. Statistics actually count for little when you look at this table.
