[Massimo Giovanni]

Roll on Saturday and the opening of a new campaign.
it is great to have a home fixture opening and also against a local rival to swell the attendance and enhance the atmosphere.
Will PB be in the D.Box or is he allowed in the TV gantry? I doubt he will do a Jose and join the fans in the East Stand.

Team;

Oxley

Demiteau, Thommo, AB, Coker

McG, Atkinson, Leonard, McL

Mooney, Cox

So only change is Smith on the bench with JW, Sokolik, O'Neill, Bridge, Williams + two.

I do think PB will bring a loan or another midfielder in to challenge for the spot of Atkinson.

Any news on the hamstring of McGlashan?

2-1 Shrimpers, goals from Cox and Barratt.

Attendance 8,453.

McGlashan's training today and is available. But I suspect o Neill will start.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Can't remember what I predicted, but 2-0 to us, Coxy x2.

 

[mattitouk]

I'm also going for a 2-1 win to Southend.

A promising start and score 2 early goals. Followed by 65 minutes of me biting my nails, followed by a near heart attack when we concede (as usual) in the last 10 minutes. Basically the same general story as it was last season.

Attendance: 8,642

Very likely scenario, especially if PB's half time talk results in the players starting off the 2nd half in a daydream and concentrating on only defending 11 behind the play, with subs not used until the last few minutes.:sad:

 

[RHB]

According to the Southend Servers we have sold 4880 home seats so far, so at least 5k+ is likely. Assuming Gillingham bring 1000 then it should be a decent crowd.

I'm going for a home win but I don't have a clue by what score as I don't have a feel for what goals this squad has in them.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

8-0 Blues. John White to come off the bench and score all 8. Attendance: 234,965, no away support in attendance due to tidal wave near the Dartford crossing.

A Gillingham fan messaged their official Twitter site on the 28th July asking how many were sold already, and they replied "pushing 1,500", so I would imagine they will sell out or be close to selling out their allocation. (I presume it's 2,000?.. does anyone know if it's more?).

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

2-0 Cox and mcqueen.

Initial 1200 then up to 1800 and then can accommodate around 2200 if required. At least I think so.

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

A frustrating 2-0 defeat after early goals from the Gills....our defence will get shown up unless we add someone before the game.

 

[Little Blue Rooster]

3-0 Mooney to score a hat-trick

 

[meerkat54]

Going 0-0 9,255 in attendance !

 

[HudsonNo1]

6-1 to the blues!

cox hat trick Barrett with a brace and Coker with a Carlosesque free kick. Barrett scores their goal for them in the 92nd minute heading in from a long throw

9231 in attendance

 

[Harry Bullocks]

8,888 in total, 1,600 Gills and hoping for a winning start :happy: :happy: :happy:

 

[Tommy2holes]

3-0 Mooney to score a hat-trick

Put a £1 on it and if it comes in you can buy the club and build Fossetts farm.
