Pre-Match Thread Daggers v Southend United - NO TUBE SERVICE!!!!!!!!!

[Napster]

It won't be if we're all standing on the platform at Upminster station come 3pm:'(

are there no tubes then?

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Or .........

Boat upto the Dagenham Car Docks, short hop across the A13 and walk along Ballards Road to the Bull and then onto the match .......... now where is my life jacket and souwester ............ :joke:

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

As there are no tubes (I think, I am not 100% sure, as they might be running up until 20:00) I am going to drive.

is there parking near the ground or is it all permit holders etc.

 

[united we stand]

is the issue down to Ron or Sainsburys's not completing on time - I am a little confused?
Perhaps Pzza man could relocate to Upminster on Sat, he would do a cracking trade and may decide to sell up and move there !

 

[Firestorm]

C2C have just tweeted that there are no District line trains between Tower Hill and Upminster all Weekend

So that resolves the Punctuation debate

depending on what time you get there you can park on the main road just across from the ground i parked there with no problems when we played them last month

 

[Cricko]

Right, so its best to get the tube there as there is no parking.

 

[BTS]

I wonder when we will have some conversation/debate about the actual game itself? rather than just travel details!

I would like to see us line up as;

Daniels
Clohessy Phillips Barker Gilbert
Leonard Ferdinand Timlin
Mohsni Hall
Dickinson

Blues to come away with a 3-0 win again

 

[Firestorm]

I would imagine 451 with everything pretty much as before ,

Midfield: Leonard/Mohsni, Kalala , Timlin, Ferdinand, Hall

 

[leroyjean]

I would imagine 451

Now I'm confused. I thought the bus was 103, not 451. Would the tube be best? (I think Cricko will be on the tube.)

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

On a serious note I hope the fanatstic away support doesn't turn up expecting us to p**** all over D&R. Our support is crucial and needs to get behind the team from the off. Utb.

Omit the players above who are taking the tube there! :winking:

Joking aside a few of our team that arrived very late for the cup game, desperately seeking directions to the changing room.:blush:

After the pre kick-off shooting practice Sturrock Snr passed me on the way down the 'pull out' tunnel and said " your too late." I've no idea what he meant, but i hadn't bought my boots anyway!

Exactly. Remember going to M.K. Dons in 2006 on that freezing cold day, when we were top and they were bottom. We went one up after a few minutes and everyone sat back waiting for the slaughter to begin.
We lost 2-1!!.

Booked two seats on the TZ coach £10.00 per seat

with no sides to their ground the wind was whipping up and I think our players were full of goose bumps bless em

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Not wanting to start any unnecessary rumours .... but it seemed to me that Leonard was in some difficulty at Preston ...... although he then managed to carry on playing after the application of the "magic sponge"! Sometimes it is later in the day/next day that the muscle pain becomes more of an issue so I wouldn't be surprised if he is rested ....... I am not saying that he will be .... and I am not saying that he is injured ....... and a good physio and several days of massage, warmth, the right exercises can work magic ..... but I'm just pointing out that I wouldn't be surprised if he was not in the starting XI or even on the bench. :unsure:

Hope that has covered all the angles so that I can't be considered a pessimist or a rumour monger ..........:raspberry:

That is the one and only time where we have been losing a game and all I wanted was for the ref to blow up so I could go home. I've never been so cold in my life - and the wind was BITING!

Seem to remember the Goat shanking one in that day, oh and their winner was an absolute MILE offside! :angry:

 

[BLUEBLOOD]

Whats the best train to get out of Southend East on Saturday ??

the one with black rubber wheels and looks like a bus, I believe the trains are not running between Southend Central & Shoebury this Saturday

and I am still thawing out! It was the coldest afternoon I ever experienced at a football match, and the result didn't help.
