Pre season friendlies.

[tia]

That’s what I normally do and after one game it was me and a friend coming up against 15 Millwall, we were wearing Southend shirts and one **** threw punches at us both. Now I can look after myself but not against 15 Millwall, I slipped his punch as it clipped my sunglasses my friend took one to the fore head and had a nasty lump for days. We did nothing saw them coming and put our heads down to not cause trouble. For that reason I’ll give this one a miss!

Sorry to hear you and your pal had a nasty experience.I can only comment on my own experiences and I pick and choose friendlies but like to do the home ones so will probably do this one

Whilst the old Den was not the nicest place to visit, can't say I have ever seen any trouble from Millwall when they are in town, baring in mind their reputation

Having said that its not as if I go drinking down the seafront. Seen a lot worse from the likes of Wolves or Liecester

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Coventry, Luton also spring to mind

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

i reckon Palace will be coming down too...

 

[Tommy2holes]

i reckon Palace will be coming down too...

Any particular reason?

Would be a good worn out for the boys

 

[Mr Browns Ghost]

i heard some talk of it at a cup final the other week at the ground, I called MIllwall and the other name being mentioned was Palace which would be a good test too, but could just be rumors... no genuine knowledge

SOUTHEND United will spend five days in Dorset during pre-season.

More...

Can't believe it, I'm currently having a week down Weymouth and Dad and I both said this week how good it would be to play Weymouth in the cup. Low and behold, they've just announced we are playing them in pre-season!

We won't be able to do it with it being on a Friday but if anyone can, I recommend it. Weymouth is a really great place to visit. Nightlife is really good too! Be great for a weekend away.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Sounds good to me

Saves some money, keeps our pounds in England and ensures Kev is available if he’s needed on any transfer business. I also liked the comment about getting plenty of match practice in pre-season.

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Uncle Ron's economy drive in evidence.

Seriously, it's up to the manager regarding pre-season, and if that's where he wants to go, then fair enough.

Visited there twice last year, whilst staying near Bridport. IMO good old fashioned seaside town, with 2 Weatherspoon pubs.
Estimate 15-20 min walk from town centre to ground.

 

[South Bucks Shrimper]

Dorset tour coming up, round 'Arry's for tea each day. I know the mighty Wimborne Town (Carl Pettefer plays for them) have put in a request to Ron and plugged Weymouth, Dorchester and Poole too.

Inside knowledge ?

 

[Magnum PI]

I’m going. Brilliant

 

[Pak Power]

Bournemouth away please (KB must be able to arrange this) nice weekend away in the new forest, followed by a good night out in Bournemouth , go and visit Harry’s house in sandbanks what’s not to like ?

Not far out !

It's in MY back garden!

Having two weeks ago made a bit of a fuss under the SUEPA banner on Twitter and Facebook of suggesting a Dorset tour ......... well, knock me down with a Dorset Knob (that's a biscuit in case you're wondering, a local inedible delicacy).

With over 18,000 miles to travel if I see every home and away league match this season (unlikely unless I want a divorce) it will be nice to kick the season off with a trip from Swanage to Weymouth just a few miles away.

Couldn't be better!

At least you won't have to queue to get across the chainlink ferry for that one!

Anyone know the dates? Only 35 minutes from me. Yay for Bond and Redknapp.
