[Napster]

Gary still loves the club, he regularly comments on Linkedin posts about ex players etc. In fact, how about a SZ special interview?

This is now confirmed. I’ll do a post at the top

Depends how much you fancy a 2 mile walk (each way).

 

[CanveyCastle]

No parking so I won't be going.

Obviously Wakering don't need the money.

Was planning on going but the zero parking has put me right off so I'll save my tenner thanks

Just a short stroll

It’s a nightmare if they have near 200 turn up so 800 blues supporters turning up will be great fun . There is a reason they can’t use the recreation ground for parking I don’t think it’s the clubs fault which is a shame they will lose gate money as it’s always a good turnout

 

[lombard]

An absolute nightmare. I will not be going, too much of a pain to park. why not try another local
club next season.

Away on hols so can’t make any friendlies until Bishop Stortford. We are off to PNE vs Lincoln tomorrow in Murcia though

makes you wonder what the turnout would be if it was at home. Surely whatever cut of the gate wakering got would be quite substantial for them. As its the first game tie it in with some sort of meet and greet/before or after event. People are ravenous for some SUFC football right now.

an idea for parking.half way along star lane turn right into sandy cres which leads to waters grove . This lead to a new housing area with plenty of street parking. Where waters grove meets kingfisher there is a foot way about 50.m to high st near exhibition pub.10. min walk to ground

 

[Fairport]

On Saturdays there are plenty of buses to and from Great Wakering.
Numbers 7, 8, 14, 9A and 21. £2 single fare from anywhere or free if you have a Senior bus pass. A chance to go green and save the planet.

SOUTHEND United skipper Nathan Ralph is looking forward to a double dose of football this weekend.

Update , 38 degrees, Lincoln won 1-0, PNE awful as was the match. Around 600-700 fans there. Lots of good will towards Southend from the fans we met and spoke with.

Does anyone know if it’s cash only at the turnstiles?

Is it on tv? Radio at worst? :)
