I can't face a 'big' quarter-final draw. If it's any of the big Prem boys at home I just hope and pray that the powers that be down at the Hall allow us season ticket holders in exile the chance to buy a ticket over the phone.
 
The trouble is that unless you can afford and enjoy the merits of a season ticket then there is no system that is going to satisfy everyone......I try to get to as many games as i can but if im not able to get to a certain game to retain a stubb then im stuffed.........Personally i like the idea that the club ....Once the draw is known give the details of how to qualify by attending future games as opposed to ones already played......ie Barnsley tuesday night in November get second tier then plymouth home third etc....

Spot on. Season ticket holders should be able to buy by phone. Non season ticket holders......please no repeat of before.....if it's an away game may need to take a day off work (2 if it's Newcastle), can't afford another day off to queue all day as well. If it's stubs based on future matches again then you run into the same problems if you get a big club like Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal etc. i.e. Southend fans miss out again. It shouldn't happen again. Fortunately I got a ticket for Man U but I saw too many others miss out on the day !

Better or just better for you?

Let's be fair here, Southend had very little time to sort things out, and whilst I think we will all agree it wasn't perfect, it certainly wasn't bad.

As has been said before, "you can't please all of the people all of the time..."
 
Well they failed miserably in my case. Being a season ticket holder I queued with a big smile on my face last Sunday and got my ticket. Imagine my surprise when Leeboy phoned me yesterday to say there was someone in my seat (V block near the front). I then checked my ticket to find I'd been allocated somewhere completely different (S block near the back). Was I a fool for not checking and assuming it would be in the same place as my seaso ?

I arrived at the ground thinking I'd evict the poor lass but she gave me such a warm smile and the prospect of not having to listen to Leeboy whinge about Cheese not playing and Beaver farting was too good to turn down.

So you can imagine my double delight when the seat I had been allocated was double sold.

 Fortunately I managed to slum it in W with the chavs.

It's ok to laugh and joke about it now but it was no laughing matter at 7.50 last night. No response from the club yet though I fully understand that they may have been a tad busy today.

Request to the ticket office staff - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE sell ORM's ticket for the rest of the season!

The rubbish this guy comes out with about Captain Kev, he even thinks his passes from the corner flag to the opposing goalkeepers are great

It was also a pleasure not having to sit next to someone who does a good impression of an old man with Parkinsons

I take it you are referring to Parkinsons of the Phil variety, that have nothing good to say about Southend
