Pre-Match Thread Southend Utd vs Luton Town

[Ex-Member1]

Why?

 

[Zeuss]

Why?

Because: surely no-one would consider leaving out Theo.

 

[Wickford Blue]

Is Southend High school open for parking?? If so does it get full up or is there plenty of room - any advice appreciated!

 

[Ex-Member1]

Yeah....of course, silly me!

 

[Tommy2holes]

Just been confirmed on their site, they've been given an extra 300 tickets!

And yet they give us bugger all.

SOUTHEND United’s Simon Cox is revelling in his new strike partnership with Stephen Humphrys but believes the best is yet to come.

After just 1 game I'd hope so.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

I really hope we do a number on Luton.

I really don't like there fans, many of whom appear to think they are some kind of millwall.

Last time they visited they caused loads of bother and I would expect the usual boys on both sides will be out in force again.

I have also never visited any other place in the UK that literally doesn't feel like the UK. Quite an odd feeling that.

That said I respect their support of their club and numbers they travel in.

I think it will be a decent game Saturday and one which may prove a turning point in our season.

Looking forward to it.

They certainly did cause a lot trouble in Shakespeare Drive last time.

 

[Ramsdenblue]

ok.

Hopper, Humphrys, Cox & Theo.
2 upfront and 2 just behind, between midfield and forwards.

2 midfield also covering defence, 1 full time defender, with 2 wingers covering full length of pitch

oh yes, and a rush goalie.

goals, goals, goals,

What about Charlie Kelman, he could be one of our deadliest striker once he improved as a player in the next 5 month!

Bocks X, Y & Z to be used as a segregation then ?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Blocks …………..do'h

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Bocks X, Y & Z to be used as a segregation then ?

It looks likely yes, especially as they have more chance of selling out the North than we do of selling out the West, thanks to our dodgy recent home form.

I'd be in favour of locking the sods in for an hour after the match, to let the home fans disperse safely

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Bocks X, Y & Z to be used as a segregation then ?

Think the extra tickets 300 will be in the corner so really only block X as segregation.

5,420 home tickets sold so far add the Blue seats and corporate etc probably about 5,700. So looking 8,000+ crowd at the moment. Hopefully shift a few more home tickets and get that to over 8,500.

Not so - they only had 2000 tickets at first - this is an extra 300. The North plus the corner holds 3000, so even with the new allocation they are not yet in the corner seats. Those seats will be covered, in certain of it.

 

[tottenham541]

We need to sell at least 6,800-7,000 home tickets to get roots hall rocking or it’ll be embarrassing with all the Luton fans coming down, if we can’t get 9,000 plus for this there’s something wrong.

 

[Jai]

Agree we should be getting 9,000+ but It's a tough month for many people and payday won't be for a few days for most of them. I know a couple of people who'd like to go but can't afford it.

SOUTHEND United manager Chris Powell insists he will do all he can to help Stephen Humphrys build on his impressive Shrimpers debut.

[Harry Bullocks]

Radical thought...as a promotion / incentive to boost attendance.....

Fill a stand get a free drink (hot or cold)...surely must work out financially...North Stand excepted for this game ?

Need to boost the numbers / noise for this one....

Don't forget the absolute the absolute ****ers in that end box when we were up there a few years back either.
