Breaking News F.A Cup 1st Round draw. Southend United vs Charlton Athletic

[Morty01]

Might get televised?

MK Dons Vs Wimbledon almost certainly will. Not sure how many games they get to put on though.

 

[Streaky]

Might get televised?

Never.. it’ll be brum or Wrexham

 

[leeblue]

Happy with that a proper club with proper fans, not sure of time line with NW repairs but potentially 10k in the hall....quite excited

 

[Blues4LifeDan]

**** sake

Why?

This is a great tie. Big team at home. Full house and money through the door. I've forgotten what it's like to go toe to toe with a big club after being in this god forsaken league for so long. I'm happy with the draw.

Return of Nathan Jones

Deserves a decent reception? 99 appearances for us

 

[Rooster79]

Not a bad draw.. potentially winnable? But should be a good gate either way!

 

[Hawkwell Blue]

Might get televised?

Yes, a few get televised and a chance of a giant killing

 

[Danshrimper]

Might get televised?

Doubt it unfortunately, think there’s at least 5 ties more likely to be picked than ours.

 

[BigCol]

Need to sort that capacity out!!!!!

Do you really think it will be a big seller?

 

[Smiffy]

Would be cracking if it gets moved to the Friday. Will be a lively atmosphere. Get that North Bank open COSU, Charlton will fill it.

I think it will be televised.

Which others beat this?

Would rather it was away. Be less income with how limited the Hall is now. Would’ve preferred a lesser team that gave us more of a chance of getting through

 

[Danshrimper]

I think it will be televised.

Which others beat this?

MK Dons V Wimbledon
Harrogate V Wrexham
Sutton V Birmingham
Tamworth V Huddersfield
Curzon Ashton V Mansfield

Not necessarily saying these games ‘beat’ ours. But they’re more likely to be picked.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

People be happy it's a home draw it could have been a lot worse with our luck

 

[leeblue]

Do you really think it will be a big seller?

Absolutely. Charlton will sell out I reckon.
And we will do 7.5 k easy. Sensible pricing could be very helpful too.

Would be cracking if it gets moved to the Friday. Will be a lively atmosphere. Get that North Bank open COSU, Charlton will fill it.

The away team have to be allocated 15% for the away fans. With current restrictions in place, does what is currently available in the North Bank come to 15% of the total capacity?

15% has to be allocated even if they don’t fill it.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Current capacity is about 8,500 so we will have to give Charlton 15% which will be 1,275.
It's going to take some sorting out.

 

[Shrimp and two veg]

Would be cracking if it gets moved to the Friday. Will be a lively atmosphere. Get that North Bank open COSU, Charlton will fill it.

Get the north bank open and let SOUTHEND fans fill it

MK Dons V Wimbledon
Harrogate V Wrexham
Sutton V Birmingham
Tamworth V Huddersfield
Curzon Ashton V Mansfield

Not necessarily saying these games ‘beat’ ours. But they’re more likely to be picked.

Why Harrogate vs Wrexham? That was a league fixture last season. One division separates them.
