Plus his dad was local ref. Many on here would have played Sunday games reffed by Nelson senior. No doubts Wivs will have been booked by him......After all he has been booked by every other ref in Essex.

Yes and would say Ron Nelson was one of the better referees at the time.

It really does depend how you view a "big club"
If its league history then we have spent a vast amount of our history above almost all in this division, reaching league 1 or championship is something that some clubs in this division will never do, let alone football league.
If its Cup history or titles then it's pretty much the same as above. How many have made finals in LDV, QTR finals of league Cup, won football league titles.
Wembley appearances same
Crowd size we are currently the best supported, despite going through hell and currently sitting just outside the drop.
What constitutes a big club.
It's OK to say we are a big club at this level because we are.
Does that mean success? No

A well supported club with less income than others in the division. Smaller wage budget than others and still wobbling having just got of the canvas after a count of 9. We lost ground on our rivals in the summer, so have smaller squad. Then lost vital players in the first few weeks for various reasons. Others aren't hitting the form they had last season
Thats why we are currently 17 because history and average attendances dose not win you games. Those are the reasons the BBC haven't chosen us because they expect a comfortable 2-0 for Charlton with our ground emptying out on 80mins. They want grandstand finish with the 'little' club either launching the ball in from all angles to get something or bodies on the line defending a slender lead in injury time.
If anyones honest they wont expect to see that v Charlton. Of course I will be delighted if I do.

No Kanu for CAFC today, not even on the bench? Is he still with them or out on loan?

He's still with them and been playing. He picked up a slight injury in their win over Birmingham. He signed a deal in February until 2027.

Apologies, I took your use of “bigger link” to be a comparison. It wasn’t intended as a knock on Nelson; I merely didn’t want Chris Powell’s contributions forgotten.
Haven’t time to watch this right now but is this the highlights where pretty much the only Southend attacks they begrudgingly show are the goals yet they managed to find time for every Charlton shot/corner/successful pass/throw-in?

That's a valid point - sometimes many of us get sucked into the "who is better or best" mentality when it is possible to say that a good many players were good professionals & are a key part of the history of our club.

That's the one.
If I remember correctly we had a handful of hit the woodwork/goal disallowed/shots cleared off the line/penalty shouts/near misses etc and they didn’t bother showing any of those but they showed every Charlton cross that sailed harmlessly out for a goal kick. I have never seen such dishonest highlights. Charlton barely entered our half but you wouldn’t know it from the highlights. God it must have pained them to show the goals.
I will endure them later to see Thommo make it 3-0 by chasing the ball down when we were still celebrating our second goal

No news yet on tickets?
Could this mean that the Friday game option is being considered?

I think it more means that they are trying to work out what is going to happen with the 15% we have to allocate to Charlton…
