Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Sheffield United

[Tommy2holes]

I thought it would be a sell out too, but the reworking of the fixture has dropped the crowd some what.


I doubt sheffield united will sell out the away end either.


Will still be around 7k home fans I'm sure.

This fixture always reminds me of dear Harry.
We had two games against Sheffield United, back in the day when Ian Porterfield was manager, when they gave the Northbank over to Sheffeild fans and we ended up in the North East paddock behind dug outs.
Harry had a good old slanging match with Porterfield over a late goal and pitch invasion
That was in addition to the "the bad news is Porterfield's driving you home" comment to Curran after he was sent off

Perfect conditions for football, today.

All winter matches should be like this. Cloudy, damp and not too much of a breeze.

Bring it on! :happy:

Can we replace the word damp... with moist

I'm going for a crowd of 8,200 and a one all draw.
