Info for tomorrows game Shots v Shrimpers

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Gutteridge is a strange one. I really rated him but look what level he is now. He should have gone on and been playing at higher level for longer - just like Christophe!

If you read the 'Goats' biography he rated Gutteridge as the most talented player at the club!. As they say, 'its a strange game'.

Afternoon

A Shots fan here, coming in peace!

I noticed a few of you were looking for a 'safe' pub for tomorrow so thought I'd try and offer some assistance. Your best bet is The Red Lion - www.redlionaldershot.co.uk which is about a 7-8 minute walk from the ground and doesn't tend to attract many of our more 'lively' fans. The food is pretty good value, there a good range or real ales, plus Sky, pool and a small car park.

If the car park is full, the pub is situated on the corner of Ash Road and Brighton Road so just continue driving up Brighton Road and you'll find somewhere to park free of charge.

One of my best mates is a born-and-bred Shrimper so we're going together which should make for an interesting afternoon.

As for Soares, I don't think you'll find too many Shots fans disappointed that he didn't re-sign for us. On his day, he can be a match-winner and scored some fantastic goals for us. Unfortunately had a real consistency problem and had a terrible habit of going missing in games.

Based on the above, he'll no doubt score a hat trick tomorrow!

Have a safe journey and enjoy the day. Whilst The Rec might not be pretty, it is a real old-school football ground and you can really create a fantastic atmosphere.

Prediction: 1-1....or 3-1 to you with a Soares hat trick ;o)

Thanks for the info. As a matter of interest, do you still have packs of actionmen (squaddies) roaming the town looking out for away fans?. And how do the locals get on with them?.

Nooo...those days are long-gone. Like any town on a match day, if you want trouble, you can find it but if you don't, you won't.

Sometimes players leave, and after experiencing other clubs, they then realise how good it actually was at a certain club. Something they didn't appreciate at the time.

Yeah, I agree. Gutts was a good player for us and I hope he gets a decent reception today prior to kick off. He was part of the team that won a league title for Southend and those are few and far between!
