Hockley now on loan to Rayleigh
Just wanted to do a review of my East Fife trip as I can't express how much of a good time I had!!!

FRIDAY:
all started 10am in the roebuck in Rayleigh straight into things with 2 pitcher cocktails 1 woo woo and 1 cheeky v followed by an epic full english then joined by Wallace - Gareth and jiggly puff drank till about 1 and walker down. Rayleigh station to meet the other 5 of our following taking our numbers to 9 then off to stanstead now by this time I am bricking it as I hate flying so we take off and I am shaking and in tears! And am nervous all through the flight! So anyway we land and I stand up and start cheering and clapping shouting WELL DONE JOHN! Thats the name I gave to the pilot! To everybody looking at me a laughing - told the pilot on the way out I would have put that down softer to which he laughed! Anyways we got to our log cabins we have rented and they are epic Gareth has done is a touch here sorting them. That night beers beers ps3 and more beers!!!

SATURDAY:
woke up buzzing for the day ahead got into fife and went up this rangers pub was decent and a good crowd in there had a chat with Tara who still loves to call me a fat **** when he sees me - long nose mug ;) - so we get down the ground and get the songs going and see the cherry voltage army run out decent game! After game we went to the directors and fans bar where we meet the people behind the club! This is where the fun starts we end up in there till 12 midnight drinking with the vice chairman Jim - top bloke and his other directors where they gave us their ties! With club crest on! We had an auction for a bottle of bells which me and gal bid up £50 and when halfs then we were sorted out 2 signed shirts one home and one away one for gal and one for me - we were the life and soul there while all the time I was trying to bed the stadium announcer she's a top woman - I won a bottle of east fife wine who jim the vice chairman tells me it's crap! Lol also drinking whisky liquor gleaver I think it's called! Oh our heads! Superb
Club!! - did I mention i was hoovering the directors lounge at one point.

SUNDAY:
got drunk went game met everybody from last night they were pleased to see us again! They laid us on some complimentary food and Jim sorted us our shirts! Day ended went back to log cabins for BBQ and drinks! Question: who butters rolls at a BBQ??!?!?

MONDAY:

scotty, I would have loved to have been there! But your "match report" is almost as good as the real thing! Well done to all who were great ambassadors for our club (shame we didnt get to play East Fife!) but then again, perhaps that can be arranged for another time! Lets all get behind the Fifers for the coming campaign!!
 






Note to mods - I've got loads of player pictures from the weekend - is there any problem posting them up as they are all in official SUFC kit? Didn't want to do it without asking and get the site any grief from the club?
 
I am not sure TBH..after all it is only a friendly game...The FL don't allow it during official games though, but this is the Scottish FA.I am sure somebody will shout if they are out of order.

Edit: the Scottish FA use the same rules....no pictures of players inside grounds.

Even if it was after the game rather than during play?
 
Hmm I really don't know the exact rules re Scottish friendly games. I will check with Scriv and get back to you.

It's a friendly game, therefore not a Scottish FA competition and no Scottish FA copyright to worry about. Photos/images permissions are normally to do with the copyright of the competition.
 
Two things.

Buttered rolls , there the way foward

If we ever get in europe and play the ivans you may want to reconsider that flight ban

Good stuff though. Sounds like it was a worthwile trip

Love a buttered roll but to butter all of them at a BBQ!? Also typical from you who has a fetish for butter in his pocket! Lol ;)

Frankly TB its people like you that give us decent Southend supporters a bad name I was ok until you mentioned buttered rolls at a BBQ, thats a disgrace and you should be ashamed of yourself. And as for flying, ugggh, what better way to and from an away trip than to spend several pleasant hours in the Buffet car on the train, glad you came to your senses on the return trip.
You are indeed a TrueBlue without equal.
 
Well done TB and alll others that attended over the weekend :)
Some more pics would be good
