Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Gillingham

[Harry Bullocks]

Stat ;

In their last 20 away games against teams positioned in the top half of the table, Gillingham have won 2, drawn 6 and lost 12 of these matches.

That makes for optimism :thumbsup:

Hi, Gills fan here. Can't make it to the game tomorrow myself but just to let you know that tickets have just gone off sale at Gillingham and the final total sold was 1,903 !

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Gills have announced that they have sold 1903

According to http://southend.cstevens.me/HGIL15 home sales are currently at 6579.

I would hope with on the day sales, hospitality, freebies etc. we should comfortably exceed 9000 tomorrow.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Should create a buzzing atmosphere :clap:

That'll be the faulty tannoy again, though!

I would imagine that we are already over 9k.

6600 home sold
1900 away sold
Complimentary and boxes etc must number about 300 +

If we get another 500 to 1000 on the day it will be around 9500-10k

Would be good to hit 10k+ again if we can

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

We've sold about 2000 less home tickets than for Col U, Gills have sold about 600 more than Col U did - which makes the net difference 1400 less. IF comps., directors, and hospitality are the same then at the moment we're probably at about 8800-8900 - obviously more sales to come on the day tomorrow though.

I think it will be 9K+ but can't see us making 10K

What a difference to when i was last there in 87 for the game veresu Halifax ,be lucky if there was 1000 there that day.:smile:

I've just had a quick look at the weather forecast for Saturday and no rain and 6°C appears to be the order of the day with a NE wind to warm us up. No problem for those of a robust nature but a bit fresh for me and her.

Showing your age,old chap :winking:

Really looking forward to todays game, I thought it was our best defensive performance of the season at Gillingham.

Interesting to see how the new look Deegan will perform against Bradley Dack. Deegan certainly won that battle, in fact Dack was hiding at Priestfield. As pointed out by the home fans at the time.

Dack is injured ?

He's bottled it already, then! :winking:

This would be my team. By all accounts Hurst & Kamara played really well against Barnsley, probably a tad harsh to drop them here. We'll see though, we won the last game so it's probably an unchanged line-up from Browney.

Wordsworth is no way a wide man.

Didn't Gary Dee start at Barnsley? I thought Tims came on as sub?

That's correct.

Wordsworth is no way a wide man.

But that is where he played at Oakwell. Make of that what you will.
