Goodbye to the South Lower

Having been (quite rightly) censured by Uxbridge Shrimper last week for implying that another poster's views meant that he was a :censored: , I'm going to have to be careful with this one.

I would just like to say goodbye to the South Lower before my transfer to East Reds for next season. Although I've enjoyed my time there I feel that it's now time to move to pastures new. I'll be sad to leave but on the other hand there are several reasons to call it a day:

  • the miserable :censored: who sits next to me
  • the miserable :censored: who sits next to me and his annoying moustache
  • the miserable :censored: who sits next to me who always leaves a few minutes before the final whistle regardless of the state of the game
  • the miserable :censored: who sits next to me who at the start of the second half yesterday returned to his seat and nearly had a nervous breakdown because my eight-year old son was mistakenly standing on his chair. I told off my son, told my son to move and apologised to the afore-mentioned miserable :censored: but he still made a big show of wiping the non-existent dirt from the seat before sitting down. Thanks, you miserable :censored: , for making my son feel bad
  • the miserable :censored: who sits next to me who I don't think has ever expressed any joy in any achievement of any Southend player or team but is all too keen to moan and complain at every opportunity
Anyway, rant over. Obviously, if I can't change my seats for the Doncaster game on Friday I was only joking, you miserable :censored:, and I'm sure your wife/girlfriend/civil partner finds your moustache very fetching!

As a resident of the East Stand myself we would welcome you for next season.We dont do a great deal of singing in the East Reds, footstamping to show our approval is more our style.The Banter is good and postive towards our players although the lino generally takes some well deserved stick most games.
 
Like an idiot I renewed my season ticket next season so I'm forced to sit next to Leeboy again next season. Certainly wouldn't transfer to the prawn sandwich brigade and the South Upper's no fun if we're kicking the other way.
 
I thought you were going to say they were knocking it down. I'm really surprised anyone chooses to sit in the South Lower as you just can't really see anything.

Unless I'm mistaken, cost effectively, it's the best place for fans with season tickets & many kids in tow. Mini blues was free paper tickets with paying adult when you register but it has been a bit of a farce with getting them! Much longer story that!

I pleased to say that Im one of the lucky one's.

Where I sit (West Stand V) we all get on really well, with good banter and some micky taking, with many shouts of 'Sit down!' to those who dare to stand up for more than 2 seconds lol.

We bring each other sweets, easter food and mince pies at xmas.

We also have a end of season bbq arranged for July.... Thanks Kev!
 
I use the C word alot but people dont seem to mind too much! ( luckily! )

I sit with the likes of The Flying Scotman, Bob_Cratchitt, Irate Ian, Stevie GGG and Kenny and next season Scrounger and Daisy are also joining us! I love them all!

First one was timed at 7mins and 43 seconds into the game on Saturday so i think you're getting better mate.

We love you too you c*** ;)

Im looking forward to Friday already and calling the Donny players a bunch of northern caaaaaaaants!!!!!!!!!

:whistling:
 
be funny if hes moving to the east and has the seat next to you [because some kid stands on his seat] in the south,that would really do your head in.

Looking as miserable as he does I can't imagine that he's gonna renew for any part of the ground.

:darkcloud:

Still, if you see a bloke in his late 40s/early 50s with a dodgy moustache and glasses who always leaves before the final whistle don't touch his seat, stand on his seat, drop anything within the immediate vicinity of his seat or even cast a baleful glance in the direction of his seat.

Perhaps my description is too vague: if you are on here, you miserable :censored: , please make yourself known!

Actually, that makes sense. Used to go there when I was paying from a paper round. Good craic when they score in your end, too, but overall, it's quite annoying most of the time.

Same here - suited me fine when I was a student and/or on minimum wage when working as a betting shop cashier. Certainly wouldn't go in there now but it serves a purpose.
 
Second only to the east stand in the most awful and uncomfortable places to sit in at RH!

I'm worried.East Reds is a special place with special people who know the game inside out,sitting proudly aloof to the rest of the stands at Roots Hall.
When i read of standing on seats and such like i bear to think how such behaviour will be tolerated in the prime location that we in the East Reds enjoy.

All i can say is if you have any comments to make please keep them to yourself,at least 'till you've settled into your surroundings and guaged the feeling around you in my stand.

Oh and we like to clap as to be polite.One should always have a certain aplomb about one'self,see?
