Peterborough away, help convince me.

[Blues4LifeDan]

I have a problem and I think some others may have the same issue too.
I'm undecided on whether to go to Peterborough or not. I can think of many cons of going and sadly not enough pro's. So I call on fellow shrimpers to advise me of the pro's of going to said match, please help me.

 

[Danshrimper]

Pro: You'll see lots of goals.
Con: They'll be going into our goal.

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Travel wise it is a lower investment than many away games.....

 

[manor15]

One of our shorter away days, you'll see a lot of goals, we're expecting to lose so you can't be disappointed

 

[mattitouk]

Pro's:
They have a same day Passport Office (should you need to re-new or claim asylum)
A Pizza Express in the High Street
...... Thats it im all out.

Cons:
Multi Storey car park stinks of P1ss
We are gonna get spanked !!

 

[ooh-andy-ansah]

The boat pub with some superb ales, get a train, get ****ed, result becomes less important if we lose, simples

Seconded, with the exception of the word 'simples'.

I had a great day yesterday despite the result; never let the game get in the way of a good time.

Be proud go!! I felt like that yesturday after the game, we can't keep getting stuffed can we?

 

[Bazziboo]

Because we are all Southend fans and support club through thick and thin. Most of us have been through many shocking years but here we all still are win or lose. Go...be proud

 

[Blues 'n twos]

Pro's: you were born into the brethren of shrimpers and follow regardless.

Cons: you have many more years of suffering ahead of you, this run ain't that bad....trust me!

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

It's hard at the moment to think yes yet a another defeat looms but be optimistic all teams have blips.You will kick yourself if we win with Tyrone getting a hattrick!!!

 

[getintoem]

The expectation is that we will get stuffed but we are Southend United and the unexpected often happens.

Exactly, we're probably win!

If a couple of defeats makes you question your loyalty, don't bother. Spurs are at home to Sunderland - they'll win that - go support them.

Sorry to disappoint you my friend but just bought a ticket, don't hate me.

Good for you.. in the wise words of Del Boy.... "you know it makes sense". :thumbsup:

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

Fairly local game, good excuse to have a few beers with friends. Should be a good attendance and atmosphere from our fans. MrsBlue won't be attending.

 

[Shrimper in India]

I am coming back from India for this for my first game in a year - it would be good to see you!

As has been said, we'll probably get a good result. This is Southend United remember!!

 

[Agent Lomas]

Pro: Last season, we were beaten 4-2 away at Stevenage, we weren't too good that day either. Then won our next game (albeit at home) against Carlisle, 2-0.

Con: Swindon are better than Stevenage and Peterborough are better than Carlisle.

Think we'd all be happy with a point this week.

Peterborough has some decent pubs in town. If you like your ales then there is the Brewery Tap (my personal favorite pub in P'boro) or as someone mentioned earlier, Charters (the boat pub).
