Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Barnet, Friday 3rd March, 19:45 k.o., NL

Absolutely! Allowing schools, clubs or parents to bring kids free will pay dividends in the medium to long run

I agree. We haven't done the kids for a quid for a while either. We do need to start looking into those initiatives.

A new stadium does help with that though, when you actually have facilities to take advantage of. I'm thinking of simple promotions that you could use with the food outlets for kids etc. Free kids meal with an adult and child ticket for example. You can't do things like that at Roots Hall!

South lower should be £15 adult and £1 for kid and give out 100+ tickets to school kids each game.

Quite a few parents are single ones on a budget and I'm all for the club doing what it can to help get them a few games.

First game back after my heart attack can’t wait

Be interesting to see how a Friday night game works for the club financially? If they get a big crowd (i.e. at least as big as they would on the sat) there is the added bonus of income from the steaming that would not be available on the sat?

Can anyone advise what time the Far Post opens please?[/B] I should really know, but due to my advancing years I'm more an 'after game' drinker these days.

Yes, I know what you mean Joolz.....

I hope it's not too nail-biting a finish then.

Take care.

Get well soon!

What time do the Turnstiles open for a 7:45 kick off?

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

What time do the Turnstiles open for a 7:45 kick off?

I think its 6:15pm or thereabouts

 

[They Call It Madness!!!]

6.30

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

380 more tickets then it’s be over 7000 sold, that is more than 3 Col Ewes matches attendance in total (for home end only).

 

[overseas shrimper]

Big question is... will the BBc commentary work at last?

It's amazing how obsessed you are with that club.

I never noticed myself.

Yes there’s a very strong case for ignoring them completely—almost everyone in the north of our county does.

 

[Microbe]

6721 now, will easily exceed 7000
Good effort all.

Ah… another secret Col Ewes fan

I seem to remember the south lower being cheaper than other stands in the late 90's and was pretty packed most matches.

Perhaps it'd be worth bringing that back rather than all seats costing the same
