With our average gate this season again dropping and without figures im guessing around 4700-4800, do you think that the day out at Wembley might intice a few supporters back to Roots Hall or even start coming having never been before?
Also do you think whether we win will also affect this? I know there will be some on here who say how crap the football is at the moment etc and they have a point, however, ive been supporting the Blues for 34 years and most of that has been played in the lower leagues and not a great standard of football. But its my team and i go regardless. Im guessing whether we win or lose on April 7th of course is important, but more important is how we play and also the atmosphere and behaviour of our fans is important.
Terry Alderton joked the other night that we had sold 27000 tickets for Wembley yet only 4800 turned up on Tuesday. there will be many first timers to a Southend match and i know the club are working on an iniative to encourage them Roots Hall, therefore April 7th is a very important day for the club all round.
