Pre-Match Thread Gateshead v Southend United, Monday 5th May, 15:00 k.o., NL

[Barry.C]

My son, @OverseasshrimperJr is waiting on his application process to be completed to go into the Royal Marines. He also plays rugby, so was overjoyed at that result. His dream is to play in games like this.

Good lad all the very vest fortune to him

My dad was a shrimper from Southend and managed to Join the Navy I think at a rather early age, may have been economical with the truth!

He also liked to earn a few bob s by singing on the pier and capping off the performance by jumping in !

Went on to become a Royal Marine and fought from HMS Glory aircraft carrier. So we also got to live in Portsmpouth and Chatham as thye big ship came into port. Whenever he could he would take me off to Southend to see family and on to the game

He then decided as Chief petty Officer to continue on for another 3 years fighting i9n the Korean wa

I'm probably getting weather sensitive in my old age - but there's a definite chill in the air up here - be prepared tomorrow.

 

[Ally les Bleus !]

I'm sorry if this is a waste of a post but just want to say

SEA - SEA - SEASIDERS !

 

[Smiffy]

Anyone out on the toon tonight? And if so where are the shrimpers drinking!

Sounds like there’s plenty in the Dubliner just down from the Quayside Wetherspoons.

 

[Largs Shrimper]

Confirmation please that we’re playing in Red away kit tomorrow?

With a travelling army set to make it feel like a home game up at Gateshead tomorrow but here at SUEPA HQ being unable to join them, preparations are under way to recreate that authentic Roots Hall viewing experience. UTB

Wrap up warm everyone: it’s cold up here.

 

[Paddypel]

Up the f**king shrimpers

 

[Ramsdenblue]

I've stopped of in York on the way up, and its currently brassing my monikes off.
The met office is saying for tomorrow, sunshine, and 11 Celsius.

Oh, and the met office has also predicted a Southend Win for tomorrow.

UTB.
