What a fantastic time to be a Shrimper

Sitting here trying to get back in to my work. Start doing something and then my mind wanders back to Saturday afternoon and I just sit there with a big grin over my face. One of the things I was thinking about is how much better it can get. For me I will take mid-table this season as long as we get to at least the semi finals of the FA Cup - It would also be great if we could receive an update with regard to the new stadium. So my question to myself was would it be more adventageous to being playing Chelsea at Roots Hall or Fossetts Farm. I Personally think it is better to be playing them at the Hall. They will hate it here, really hate it and they will be under so much pressure to produce a result. I really think we are going to win the match. Thought the same before we played Man Utd but in all honesty wasnt looking forward to the Chelsea game on Saturday as I thought we would take a massive drubbing. Anyway my question to everyone is (and I do realise its only hyperthetical) but where would you choose to be playing Chelsea - Roots Hall or Fossetts Farm?

Fossetts Farm would bring far greater revenue and a better atmosphere. Imagine 22000 fans singing in a stadium designed to have better acoustics. However, for more chance of winning it will be at roots.

Still i would have to say playing them at Fossetts as it would mean that it has actually been built!

I am not making a decision until I know how much the pies will cost in the new stadium.

Had a balti pie at Chelsea at half time. Was delicious. I thought £3.00 was a bit steep until I realised the extortionate prices we fork out for the rat burgers and pukka pies in the West Stand.
