Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Yeovil Town, Saturday 1st October, 15:00ko, NL

[ESG]

Anyone know if you can use your season card in a different area of the ground?

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Got to be the fewest for about 5 years.

Yes, I read the headline and was alarmed yet the story isn't really news.
Or if it is then good news in that most of the players are on a known projection for return with just Steeeve being random.
The bench will be getting "hot seats" to attain if the starting 11 keep performing.

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

Why aren’t ticket sales great anything over 5k is pretty good in my eyes and this game will produce around the 5,200 mark

We've sold 4800. Agreed, over 5k at this level is great. I just thought with a few positive results, we may have had more.

I guess, until we get into those play off spots and start winning games by more than one goal, then a few more will turn up.

Obviously have to factor in that money is tight and we have two home games in quick succession. Followed by a local game at daggers.

Remember, there's national rail strikes too

Hi All

Just wanted to update this message

As well as being a Southend supporter , I'm also a Samaritans volunteer.

My aim was to engage with the club and try to positively promote what we do within a still male dominated environment.
That's not to say we exclude anyone , but we felt this was a way of possibly reaching out to groups that may find it harder to seek support.
Thanks to @OBL ( Kay ) for putting me in touch with Rhys at the club and for the subsequent meeting we had with Rylee.
There have been plenty of negative views about our club in recent times and these still continue , but as a way of redressing the balance here , Rylee could not have been more helpful.

The club have generously allowed us to advertise / promote / sponsor the match on 1st October at home to Yeovil.
Although we won't have the full hospitality package , we will be advertising in the programme , and the club have made NO CHARGE for any of this.
On this day you will see our volunteers outside the turnstiles and this time armed with the dreaded bucket.
What I wanted to say was , we are going through very tough financial times right now with the cost of living soaring , so please don't feel any obligation.
But if you do have some spare cash available , we would be very grateful too.
Our aim though is more about raising awareness and reaching out to anyone who may need help , now or in the future.
This match was highlighted because as well as the tragedy of Chris Barker taking his own life , the Yeovil captain Lee Collins did the same in 2021.
We will also have a pre-match photo with our pitch side advertising in the corner of the South and West stands.
We have reached out to the Yeovil supporters too and hope they may get involved in some way.

This is something that means a great deal to me and want to promote more in the community.
Once again , please note that our club are being very helpful and proactive too on this.

Thanks
Danny

Well done SUFC for not making any advertising charge and well done to all Samaritans volunteers and supporters hope you have a successful day........

 

[Whispering Bob]

Very rarely carry cash these days, but will make sure I have some in my pocket tomorrow sir.

 

[stewart]

Got to be the fewest for about 5 years.

we have been without 4 of them practically all season,

 

[WickfordShrimper]

Over 5000 pre-match home tickets sold

Not bad at all

 

[Jai]

Half time protest in the stands?

 

[stewart]

If its true about us being under an embargo again , PLEASE no on field protests and disruptions ,we have a good team now and backroom staff , please do not disrupt them ,banners yes but no onfield please

 

[meerkat54]

Think we are drifting off pre match subject.
So I’m having my Saturday £5 on Southend to win 1-0 COYB’s

 

[Devon Blue]

Protests must happen during the game to get our point across

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Protests must happen during the game to get our point across

No they must not - emphatically not. You go ahead, have your 5 minutes in the sun streaking on the pitch with ‘death to Ronnie’ splashed across your backside in crayon and get banned. Do us all a favour.

Hello Ron :)

 

[stewart]

View attachment 22315Tip for those going tomorrow

yeah and get the club fined like we got money to give away, Some people really have no sense ,Go and support the team,its not their fault we are under an embargo again,You want to protest RM PROTEST OUTSIDE HIS HOME not at the match support the players and backroom staff. Dont get the club in trouble ,with fines etc .

 

[stewart]

Show the players ,kev and co ,Stan and John and all the backroom staff you support them ,attend the games at RH ,shout loud and log ,show them we are behind them 110%. Please dont incur extra debt on the club with on field protests , flares and tennis balls thrown on the ground, you want to protest RM and his ownership of the club do it outside his home not at the match ,we dont need fines and points deductions etc put onto the club . All parties now need to sit down work out a sensible approach on how it maybe possible to force RM to put the club up for sale,so that he can come out of this with a nest egg . Hard yes but not impossible, im sure there are some business minded people amongst you,who collectively can find some sort of solution if you put your heads together .

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Dare I say "Come on you Shrimpers"

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Dare I say "Come on you Shrimpers"

You may dare, and I hope they do...

 

[rararblue]

Well I am over for this one and am really looking forward to it, despite Ron.
