For those going to Scotland at the weekend!

[bucket&spade.f.c]

I can see 100-150 shrimpers making the long trip and as we are setting up base camp in different parts of Scotland thought it be a good idea if we all met up in one pub close to the ground!

Its only a 10 min from the ground and seems to be best of a bad bunch

Hope to see as many people there

It's only one venue; it's not really more of a "tour" than any of our away games this season !

 

[Maldon Blues]

It seems a fair few Blues fans are staying in Glenrothes. Perhaps we could agree a suitable boozer for a Friday or Saturday evening pint of Skol?

Suggest you take your waterproofs with you. The forecast for the weekend is rubbish (as usual).

Heavy rain showers forecast for Saturday & Sunday pretty much a normal summers day for Scotland. Bet the East Fife groundsman is looking forward to 4 matches on the pitch in 2 days.

Smiffish Weather Watch: Fife Special.

Friday: Fairly cloudy and breezy with some showers around. More heavy and persistent rain arriving later in the evening/early hours of Saturday. Temp's around 16c

Saturday: In a word, it looks pretty awful. Heavy and at times persistent rain lasting through much of the day. Perhaps turning more showery as the day progresses. Winds picking up a touch as well. Temp's around 15c

Sunday: Not much change to be honest. At times persistent rain or showers. Winds coming in from the nearby North Sea as well. So will feel pretty chilly indeed. Especially in any rain. Temp's around 15c

In summary: No need for shorts. Pack your coats and jumpers!

Have a good time to all of you that are making the trip and please stay safe

Oh dear, we could go all that way and end up with a waterlogged pitch! Pitty we are the 2nd match on Saturday. With heavy rain all weekend the matches could end up being a farce.

 

[Tin Bath]

Im coming across from St Andrews and though the last 2 days here have been nice generally the weather is pants and always windy. I have my t-shirt and will try and see some of you in that pub

 

[Manchester Shrimper]

So as there's going to be four sets of supporters there each day, does anyone know if we'll have a Southend 'end'?

 

[chris wood]

can we all sit together and make a bit of noise for the lads looking forward to it a lot hope the weather doesnt spoil it for us all.

 

[Shrimper]

Anyone seen the Scotland Pics on the OS? Look at number 17, a bit suggestive!

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

They do normally have an away section, but I think it will be sit where you like. They had a crowd of 1,200 for a friendly v Hibs the other day. I doubt the crowd will be higher than that. Some people might just turn up for their teams match and not watch the other match.

 

[Cricko]

Have a great time all those that are making the trip and please send us some nice pictures back during your stay.

I am going to sleep with 14 women!!! and 1 man called Jack the Flag!

Just seen on the Dundee match preview that Southend & Raith Rovers fans will share the away section and East Fife & Dundee fans will share the home section.
