Memory Lane Next Season.Cambridge and Luton Away.

[CHEMICO FC]

The only good points about next season both games are a good away day trip. Lets see every man and his dog there.:winking::smile:

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

I remember a cracking 4-1 win away at Cambridge - with Peter Butler curling a lovely ball in from the edge of the penalty area.

(Well, I think I remember it - it's all a bit of a blur now-a-days ..........)

I can't remember any good trips to Luton but I do remember a F.A. Cup thrashing at Roots Hall when Luton were top of Division 3 with a record of (something like) played 10 and won 10. :'(

Looking forward to the Shabby stadium trip,always interesting.

 

[Jam_Man]

Does soften the blow to have two more southern teams, looking forward to Cambridge games again, does Dion Dublin still play for them?

Cambridge away 2005 we had almost 3000 there in a crowd of 6000. Goals from our 2 legendary centre backs Prior and Barrett gave us a comfortable win. Decent away end at Cambridge been wasted on non-League clubs. Look foward to visiting there next season.
As for Luton can't recall us winning there plus its a real dump.

I went to the first ever game at Cambridge 44 years ago in October , King Billy Best scored 2 and Phil Chisnall scored 1 .It was one of the few games that the worst ever Southend goalkeeper Brian Lloyd did not let a goal in .

every man and his dog

'Went to mow a meadow'!. Remember when Cambridge had allotments behind the away end in the 70's. Cant say i noticed if they were still there when i last went there 9 years ago?

I can't remember any good trips to Luton (

Hardly surprising because:

a) Luton is one of the nastiest places in the country, and

b) we haven't won there for 50 years

Have mentioned this before but we were the first team to win at Cambridge when they entered the league in 1970 by 3-0 and also the last team to win there in 2005 by 2-0 before they went back into non-league.

There is a nice few away games next season that are fairly local.A nice long trip is nice sometimes but nice to mix it up with local trips as well

We should all pledge now to do Carlise whatever and whenever and only consider Luton if it is on a Saturday, the weather is fine and we are in the top 7.

Went to Cambridge with Dave Smith's Blue, white and red army, many years ago (80's?), won 3-2 and drowned out the tv interviewer with our celebrations....happy days indeed :happy:

Thats when we had to stand in the rain when there was an empty covered terrace , and Dave Smith told us that it was bang out of order . He also said in the next Southend programe that he had met us and wrote what great supporters Southend had .

It was easter monday I seem to recall. Remember it like it was yesterday. Still got some footage on my phone , I think.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Apparently Cambridge can offer up to 2,600 tickets to away fans....hope we can play them on a Saturday!!

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Good memories of Cambridge away. Remember winning there on Boxing Day once or twice, and beating them near the end of the 04/05 season. Not so fond memories of Luton away, particularly Matt Harold's penalty miss and the abuse he got, but you can always have a fun game of 'spot the white face' when you go there. Also the ground with the least leg room in the world.

Sounds like a laugh a minute. Alternatively, you could play 'spot the casual racism' on here. Go on, you'll split your sides.

And as mentioned above - the interview with Dave Smith was drowned out by our support. The interview ended "thank you Dave Smith and the Southend supporters".
Was a memorable day, lots of stories including my first hiding and the loss of a scarf in Newmarket road.

Memorable day!
