Pre-Match Thread Southend United v AFC Rochdale, Saturday 20th April, 12:15 ko, NL SOLD OUT!

[Fairport]

A wonderful achievement to be still in with a chance of the play offs. Looking at the betting odds a treble on Southend, Daggers and Eastleigh is just over 13/1.
Maybe worth a bet given that Aldershot and Halifax are nothing special.

 

[RHB]

What are the odds Ron will be in the directors box for this one?

If he does, he should be dangling from a rope over the edge

Who has the honour of buying the rope?

I want another of these moments. Halifax and Aldershot cover your eyes!!!!

Brings tears to you eyes watching that..

Not forgetting of course the evening when we lifted our first league title in 1981, our opponents that day, Rochdale.

uuhh...but a 1-1 draw. Don't want one of those.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

I think it would be doubly frustrating if we win and one of the other two get the point courtesy of an OG or a missed pen, or injuries that reduces the home side to 10, or something else beyond our control.
It's really about Daggers and Eastleigh, but better them than on-the-beach Chesterfield or knackered Gateshead.

So we’re in with a shout, of that there is no doubt.

At times it’s been touch and go, but somehow we just know.

Even, when in between the sticks we had Gus, we never made a fuss.

The boys in blue just knew what to do,
and with heart and desire always came through.

Now we wait for tomorrow, will it be delight or will it be sorrow.

Take heed, as it may be our destiny to go on and succeed.

Come what may, we sure can play.

Regardless this is Roots Hall, and united we shall never fall!

I am glad neither Halifax or Aldershot are playing a team already in the play offs, that might rest their better players like Gateshead.

At least a few of the Daggers and Eastleigh players will be playing for contracts hopefully and give it their all. Plus McCallum will always kill for a goal or two......

Anyone have an idea what time spread eagle and blue boar are opening up tomorrow?

10am.

What are the odds Ron will be in the directors box for this one?

He can go fcuk right off, if he does

Everyone associated with the club has the right to be there but Ron.

 

[SeldomSeenShrimper]

We will most likely miss out on the playoffs tomorrow.

And I'm ok with that.

The lads have performed above and beyond this season and regardless of how it ends, our season has been a huge success and the lads deserve to know it

I so wish I wasn't shooting a wedding tomorrow would have loved to have been there.

And if the unthinkable happens? Well ... I'm going to be one jealous shrimper

What a ****ing season!
