Any ideas when ticket details will be announced?

I'd imagine theres a huge amount to discuss, what with it being such a small venue. Allocations, pricing, segregation, policing etc.

Early next week would be my guess.

Assuming we aren't in discussions to switch the game to Roots Hall?

What if the Police state they cant carry out the game at home

I think it can only be moved on safety grounds but as they can have a capacity and host I don't see that happening

 

[Shrimper83]

I don't think we'd want to swap it to our ground. It would probably cost more only opening the East stand as how much interest will this generate? Floodlights Stewarding Policing etc all costs.
The problem i see is Brentwood want the local community to come support them on there big day so I don't think we'll get many tickets.

I think if they swap the ground it has to be hosted at a neutral venue?

 

[Dazzaref]

Are we Celtic, Rangers, Liverpool or Man U? Will we bringing 15,000 fans to terrorise Brentwood town centre who are unable to get entry to the ground? Will we force entry if we can’t get access? No is the answer. Keeping the game at Brentwood is fine.

Just buy tickets off the Brentwood town website. This is going to virtually impossible to segregate. They get around 250 home fans most games, there is little interest in the club from the local community. They might get a couple of hundred more than normal but it will be a majority Southend fans in there. Apparently there is a meeting tomorrow regarding the fixture so maybe news over the weekend

It's not quite as black and white as that:

RULE 9 Venue of Matches
(a) Venue
(i) The venue for each Match (save for the Final which will be played at a venue selected by National League System Board) will be that of the first named Club unless the consent of the National League System Board has been obtained to any change of venue or the National League System Board has directed that there should be a change of venue.
(ii) No monetary or other consideration shall be asked for, offered or paid in connection with negotiations for a change of venue.
(iii) A match shall not be played on a neutral ground without the consent of the National League System Board.
(iv) In any event, the National League System Board shall have the power to order that any match be played on an alternative ground or date, including a Sunday, if it is considered appropriate and necessary. For ties switched from the ground of the first Club drawn, the National League System Board shall determine the financial conditions in which the tie shall be played.

If memory serves me right the FA Cup tie against Canvey Island was meant to be played at Park Lane (but got switched).

They changed the rules for that a few years later

Was it Ilford away in the FA cup years and years ago when the rumours were of sell out crowd and massive police presence? When I got off the train and was asking the locals the direction to the ground, most didn't even know where it was let along that this epic game for them in the FA cup first round proper was even on. . The was one bobby there and free movement around the ground. The few very young Southend massive had congregated in the rickety old stand behind the goal and we went on to win 1.0 in from of about 1,000 if that. I wouldn't mind betting that most of the good people of Brentwood don't even know its on, or care.

Like you, i was at that game & expected a bigger attendance. But that day West Ham were home to Man City & believe it or not, at that time the Hammers were 3rd in the old 1st Div!. So i presumed a number of local West Ham fans went to their game instead of supporting their local side ( Ilford )?.
They are away the weekend we play Brentwood, so possibly the attendance could be swelled by some Hammers fans, as there's plenty of them in that area.

Hopefully, they might be able to get capacity to 3,000 and then give 2,000 to away fans.

It's the early round of the FA Trophy. We'd barely need 2,000 tickets for a home game let alone an away one.
